  1. No to the poll, but it's iffy. For Ra's, totally gay.

    For Bruce, It's the same principle as having sex with a post-op transsexual and having no idea (although, being the detective that he is, Bruce would have figured out it was Ra's somewhere in the middle, especially if Talia Black-Bibled him). Then the question is to stop or to continue, despite the initial revulsion and conflicting arousal. The uncertainty, the drive to go forward, the odd mixture of revulsion and arousal, curiosity overriding your better judgment... I've said too much.

  2. Hal could barely wield the yellow ring, so I can't see him wearing any other colors besides the violet or maybe red if he's really pissed. Sinestro could probably wield all of them, except for blue and black(He's been dead before, correct?).

  3. I just found out that my aunt passed away. She was recuperating at a nursing home after a severe auto accident and her heart gave out.

    Every summer as a kid, no matter where I was living, I'd go and spend a week with her, my other aunt, and my grandparents. It was always the highlight of my summer, as I got to enjoy a relatively normal family life and experience unconditional love from someone other than my mother. I also got to indulge in my favorite foods, watch all the TV I could (even when I was grounded from it at home), and get some really cool swag. You know, all the stuff that's important to a kid. I remember the cook outs with them and the rest of the family, the drives to Louisville for the meeting/drop-off for her and my parents, the drives to Manteno singing along with the Beach Boys (because it was the only tape in the car). I remember the Chicago Zoo. I remember her in the backseat of a police car because of the Chicago Zoo (nothing serious, I just blew chunks at the Dolphin show and the officer didn't want us walking all the way back to the parking lot). I remember being so disappointed that night when we didn't go to Chuck E. Cheeses because of the aforementioned blowing of chunks.

    I remember Galaxy Bowling and Arcade, where I'd run around spending $20 worth of quarters ($10 of which inevitably went to Wrestlefest) and she'd sit down and get high score on Mrs. Pac-Man. I remember going to her wedding and meeting my future uncle, while they in turn met my new step-dad. I remember them coming up to Waukegan after my high-school graduation and going to the Star Trek-themed restaurant nearby. I remember always leaving a drawing for them to put up on the fridge after I was gone before I left. I remember going up one more time in 2001, and having to spend an extra day because Houston got hit by a tropical depression and was under water.

    I remember a conversation about prayer that we had. She said something that stuck with me, even if I didn't practice it. "If you don't talk to God on a regular basis, when you finally need to ask Him for something, He's going to say, 'Who the heck are you?' I'm not sure if I believe in God, but I know if there is one, He's gonna have a lot of time for Aunt Diane. I miss her and love her and will always remember.

  4. Its probably not. Does it really matter?

    Absolutely not. That's why its annoying that they won't admit they're wrong! :grumble:

    I concur!

    Thirded

    If you all admit you're wrong and Teen Titans is in continuity, nothing happens. An argument ends. If we were to admit we're wrong, then we'd get at least 10 less episodes of WFP. In the case of selfish vs. selfish, I choose the side with greater entertainment value.

  5. The weather report here in Knoxville says it's raining. Now, I've a lot of different types of rain. Heavy rain, light rain, sideways rain, sleet. But to my recollection, rain isn't white and fluffy and easily packed into a ball. More proof that Lewis Black was right and Meteorologist means liar.

  6. If anyone could make the Trio not suck, it would be Morrison.

    I feel like we're at a gala for debut of the Emperor's new opulent robes. Half the crowd is in awe and enjoying the champagne, and the other half is shouting, "HE'S NAKED AND PISSING ON US!"

  7. But all of this failed because, as always, Batman is one step ahead and the Black Glove were nothing but a bunch of rich schmuks.

    That's my point. The Black Glove never came off as evil, just as rich, bored fools.

    So the Black Glove Society essentially had the same motivations as the Terrible Trio?

  8. They had the perfect angle to bring in Christian and they blew it. That Hardy turn made NO sense whatsoever.

    They still have the perfect angle. With Matt & Edge together (which, by the way, is all sorts of awesome considering the history), Jeff needs someone to watch his back. Who better than Edge's (on-screen) brother? Okay, yes, Christian isn't a great face, but we'll be getting another TLC match (or, if the stars line up just right, a 4-way ladder match at WM). I'm all for that.

  9. In a related note, I received two of these e-mails in my spam folder:

    Dear Beloved One.

    It is by the grace of God that I see today, as I have not particularly

    lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even

    myself) but my business. Having known the truth; I had no choice than to

    do what is lawful and just in the sight of God for eternal life and in the

    sight of man for witness of God & His Mercies and glory upon my life.

    I am Mrs. Rose Ibrahim, the wife of Late Mr. El Ibrahim, I am a citizens

    of Tunisian. My husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Russia for

    twenty years before he died in the year 2004.We were married for ten years

    without a child.

    My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.

    Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my

    matrimonial home, When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of

    7.5 Million Pounds (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds) with a

    Bank in Europe.

    Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote

    me as the beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I, as the

    beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the funds will

    be CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to

    receive it on my behalf (note that you need to activate this account) as I

    can not come over. Presently, I'm in a hospital in Russia where I have

    been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my

    ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks

    to live.

    It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations

    anywhere in the World in helping human race.

    Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my

    illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge

    responsibility to any of them.

    Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand-in as the

    beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank.

    I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this

    money, and I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going to. I

    don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my

    soundless voice and presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I

    don't want them to know about this development.

    I await your quick response to this mail as this is my last wish to see

    this funds transferred before my Death.

    Please my beloved for further communication on how we are going to

    conclude this, reach me on my private mail: roseib_21@yahoo.com.hk

    Remain Blessed

    Your Beloved Sister .

    Mrs. Rose Ibrahim

    How awfully tragic. My heart goes out to this poor women and I feel the need to help her out. Let me see what's in my wallet... hang on... Moth-Wallet.jpg

    Oh, well. And she seemed so sincere. :rolleyes:

  10. IESB Exclusive: X-Men Origins: Wolverine Update! More Deadpool Added!

    Written by Stephanie Sanchez

    Thursday, 22 January 2009

    Thanks to IESB reader DPfan (I am assuming he didn't think real hard about that handle – it means Deadpool fan right?) we've learned exclusively that more footage of the DEADPOOL character played by Ryan Reynolds has been added to the X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE film!

    We are told Ryan Reynolds was busy a guy in Vancouver during the extra time the production spent there shooting some added footage for his Deadpool character! Apparently most of the footage shot included Reynolds and Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman.

    This isn't your mother's cameo...Deadpool is full on! Reynolds will appear in the film even more than originally planned!

    Reynolds beefed up a la Blade Trinity for the role of the antihero to play opposite Jackman's Wolverine. The Merc with a Mouth can't have wimpy girlie arms next to that guy!

    IESB has contacted 20th Century Fox for confirmation, will update if we hear anything so check back!

    EDIT: forgot to mention how I felt about it... :urock: :urock: :urock:

  11. Tried Mike's idea, no go

    Doug's idea is outside my budget, I can barely spare the $21 Canadian

    Argh

    See if the ripoff has a website. They usually will have the latest firmware and/or driver update for their product. If not, you are on your own.

  12. Pete Ross was a long-time Superboy supporting character. He got married to Lana.

    EDITED, because posting is harder than it looks, apparently.

    He was also Lex Luthor's Vice President and became President when Luthor was taken down. That lasted like a week before Checkmate engineered his impeachment. So Suave gets the cookie.
