I signed up for the ASMB because I wanted Venture Bros. to get a second season.

That was December 2017. I was pretty cynical about elections and politics at that time. I thought, "of course they are going to vote for the pedophile. They are Americans and they vote, don't they?" But when they voted for the civil rights lawyer instead (Doug Jones), it was a spark that lead me to focus on volunteering for the 2018 election in Georgia. Which was when Stacy Abrams revitalized the state Dem Party. I moved back to Georgia and decided to stay.

That Alabama Senate election where Roy Moore was revealed to be a major pedo?

You don't find that showering before bed helps you sleep?

I just now came across a thread from 2017 where you said you tried to get me on these boards. I seem to remember that at the time, but I had stuff in real life going on. Thanks for thinking about me at the time though. I appreciate it.

That one reads like a party. The day the election was called, but weeks before Jan. 6, 2021:

This thread is now about asses.

I personally like smart assy.

There's slight chance I've shared a GIF of RuPaul though. I don't think I would risk the perjury charge on that one.

I have never shared the video of Kimberly "Sweet Brown" Wilkins. I can say that under penalty of perjury.

This is a variation on the Twitter hashtag #500comicgoal that I used to keep track of my reading. But since I don't use Twitter anymore, I've been looking for a new social network for it. I'll give it a go here. Speaking of DC, the comics are on a roll in terms of quality right now. Some fans have started using "DC Renaissance" to describe the books that began with the Infinite Frontier publishing initiative in 2021. They even have a specific event where the Renaissance started: the final defeat of the villainous Batman Who Laughs at the end of "Dark Knights: Death Metal" (2020). Batman Who Laughs is a cosmic supervillain who menaced the Multiverse for years leading to the climax in "Death Metal". He symbolizes extreme hopelessness and nihilism. So, in a meta way, after his defeat, the comic books change tone and become more fun and light-hearted. And the artwork shifts to bright, flashy colors. All of the comics, even Batman books, are twinkly with splashes of vivid color, like a city skyline. The quality is better than the preceding "DC Rebirth" (2016-2020) and "New 52" (2011-2016) lines. So I'm trying to read through DC from the last 2-3 years. I'll update this from time to time as I read through issues and maybe say a thing or two about each one.

Amusing because it is now 2023 and there is a new volume of Darkwing Duck and it's a pretty good seller right now.

Hi Fi Rush, the best game in years. And was a complete surprise release.

Pretty much. Also, I think the particular fast food cook I got doesn't know what a melt is. What they gave me was two hamburger patties on soggy bread.

I regret eating Burger King's The Spicy One Melt. And my standard for fast food isn't that high.

When he's underwater, does he get wet? Or does the water get him instead?
