Thanks for the reminder.

So what is Annhiliation and Annhilition Conquest? Sell me on it.


depends what sort of tacos?

Annihilation is the begining of the "rebirth" of Cosmic" Marvel. An evil force from the Negative Zone is bent on taking over our universe, they start by destroying all of the Nova Force except one, and are bearing down on Kree, while the Siulver Surfer and the other Heralds of Galactus get involved, as well as some other "heros".

Annihilation: Conquest happens not long after Annhiliation, and involvees an alien race trying to take over Kree and the rebellion that fights it off. This is really where the Guardians become a team.

Both of these and their adjoining mini series are really well written and even funny at times, while still being very engaging. I started reading it all because I wanted to know more about the Guardians, as well. It has turned into some of my favorite Marvel comics of all time.



I had an Al Pastor one, an Asada one, and a Tinga(chicken) one. It was my feeble attempt at celebrating Cinco De Mayo

I think I remember you in X-Cres too. Hello again!

Well in the past not acting like a jerk didn't guarantee getting along - in fact acting like jerk would guarantee you would fit it. hopefully that is all past now.

Yeah, I'm honestly glad they wiped the boards, if I looked at my post history, I'd leap off a bridge.

The Danish Geodata Agency recently recreated the entire country of Denmark in Minecraft at a 1:1 scale. It’s one of the biggest Minecraft creations ever, made up of about 4000 billion brick and 1 terabyte of data. It was ingeniously built using the agency’s 3D elevation model and was meant to be used as a teaching tool.

Of course, players almost immediately began blowing it up.

Oh the humanity.

I knew you had faith in me. I will totally lavender your periwinkle.

Why my DEAH, you do so give me the VAPUHS! **fans face**

The test of all fake swearing is Sam Jackson's line from Snakes on a Plane. "I have had it with these tinykittying snakes on this tinykittying plane!"

Don't you mean: I've had it with these monkey fighting snakes on this monday to friday plane!

My roommate in college used to joke about a professor of his (he and I were both English Majors) who would only teach "Award-Winning Graphic Novels," never comics in her class. That teacher always kind of irked me - because she was by far the edgiest professor in the department in terms of her curriculum and yet she was conservative when it came to comics. So dumb. My school was so progressive in general but its treatment of comics was so conservative. When it came time to do my honors thesis, I had to get a teacher who didn't know anything about comics but was a cool enough guy to be my thesis sponsor anyways, since no one else would get behind a comics-based thesis (even one like mine that was half-comics and half-"real" literature). I'm sure it is a lot different nowadays, but I dunno.

Could you expand and what you wrote in you thesis? Sounds interesting.

zhris doesn't know me very well:

Dear Everyone Trying to Get 'Caught Up' on the Chat Thread...

Just don't try. It's not worth it. Attempting to read every post here is like being Sisyphus on roller skates, and you'll only end up sobbing in the corner thinking the Roomba is trying to kill you. Think of the Chat Thread as a peep show; drop your quarter in, take in the sights, and when the curtain goes down again move on with your life until next time.

Enjoy the show, turn off your cell phones, and don't forget to spay and neuter your kids, er, I mean pets.

DON'T YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO! I WILL get this rock to the top! I WILL!

No, but seriously, it takes me a bit longer than it used to, but it's not insurmountable.

Also YOU'RE NOT MY REAL MOM! **slams bedroom door and turns up Linkin Park really loud**

I'm still doing the same thing (tho i've been at the current company for 8 1/2 years).

I'm a Manufacturing Scheduler -- technically, a Senior Planner, specific to Samples for New Products.

don't get too specific online, but I used to work for a big chip manufacturer (for 13 years), then was 3 1/2 years at a semiconductor place.

Luckily, since I deal with overseas so much, I telecommute 3-4 days per week -- which is nice, as it saves me an hour+ commute each way


you?

I do IT work for a small non-profit. I have friends who love telecommuting, but I always had trouble with the work/life balance when I did it.

Why my DEAH, you do so give me the VAPUHS! **fans face**

Now I want you to design a Southern Belle supervillain/superhero pair.

Hod wants to bring back a classic:

I think its way past time the Princess posted her "Getting to know you" thread 2.0.

Nothing like collecting a little data on potential victims now that the pool is a little deeper.

Rozen liked the idea:

A thread like that might not be too bad. Less complaints and worries about mingling with complete strangers, that way.

Hers was really good, too. None of this "here's 75 questions that everyone will answer and no one ever reads anyone else's answers" nonsense. She asks really bizarre questions one at a time that actually do show things about a person and then we actually talk about it! The first one was great fun and I have every confidence that she can make it happen again...when she's ready.

Looking forward to it.

[ExcelsiorPrime]

Oh the humanity.

Its like Lego on steroids..My niece spent close to a year building stuff. As long as she keeps her grades up and plays outside...my Brother and his wifey don't seem to mind.

snarkbunny requests:

Neat! I'll think on it. My first idea fails, though, which was to make Southern Bell, but there's no sonic powers set in Champions (just a handful of weak powers that you can attach a little sonic damage to).

EDIT: Rebel Yell would be good, too, but fails for the same reason.

Of course, zhris is not your real mom. Your Mom is Rainbow Sparkles, who sent you back in time to save you from your evil gender-swapped clone.
