Ok, next on my list of "things I will never understand" Of all the characters in the Marvel Universe why is Wolverine the crown prince that is elevated to near deity?
 
okay, let me set the scene. Imp is doing her own thing, I'm watching Padres vs. Mets and former Dodger great Orel Hersheiser is doing color commentary. The announcers are discussing pitchers names and nicknames. Francisco Rodriguez is nicknamed K-Rod (K for a strikeout). Someone called him Frankie, which Rodriguez apparently hates.

Says, Hersheiser: "He should try Orel."

Imp: "WHAT DID HE SAY????"

It took me a minute to quit laughing and tell her it was O-R-E-L.... :D

I have to answer this.

Wolverine was, once, a cool character. First introduced in an issue of the Hulk, he almost single-handedly killed the unkillable Wendigo. That was the beginning of "Bad-ass-dom" for ol' Wolvie.

In the late seventies and early eighties, Chris Claremont and John Byrne did wonderful things with the character. His humanity in the face of the unbridled passion to kill was his saving grace. For a time, he was a reluctant but unrealized love interest for Marvel Girl (Jean Grey), and after that, he married a Japanese girl and followed the ways of the Samurai as a means to strike a balanced chord between what he wanted and what he was designed to do.

Later, it was revealed that he was an experiment, chosen because of his mutant ability to regenerate at extraordinary rates, to have his bones grafted with an unbreakable metal, adamantium. That just added to his character, at least for a while.

The original intent was to have Wolverine killed in dramatic fashion, saving the world, never to be revived. He was, after all, the ultimate superhero. No wound would slay him, and his bones wouldn't break. He proved that in battle with the Hulk, more than 100 times more powerful than he.

Alas, he was saved via the pitfall of popularity and the virtual undeath garnered thererof.

He's no longer a character, nor a person. Just a special-effects sideshow.

But hey, Americans love their special effects, don't they?

Just because you are tired of the character after 100 years doesn't mean the rest of us are ;)
 
A tornado touched down about 5 miles from my house this morning.

No one hurt. Damage not severe.

On the bright side.....It's Still Raining!!:)

I need all the prayers I can get right now... Notifications are slowly coming out for those who passed the first round... and I desperately hope I did.
 
I am getting aggravated over an argument about my fax machine from five years ago.

No, I don't know how to let a grudge go ;)
 
I'm so excited I get to drool over the Deadliest Catch sea captains tonight!
 
My dad sent me an email of 'ponderisms'

I'll only post the funny ones...


I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.

Life is sexually transmitted.

Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

:D
