From the Ashes

I was just talking last night with my mother about how often L&O (Now in five fruit flavours!) is on. And now I find this.

Honestly, I'm surprised it took so long to occur.

Good gods. The radio is...is playing a Slinky commercial.

A new one.

With jazzed up tune.

Wrong on multiple fronts.

Just a funny bit from Paul's latest X-Axis that I found terribly amusing and worth sharing.

The good news is, at least there's a sensible number of X-books this week. The bad news is, three of them are about the Age of Apocalypse and fourth is an issue of X4.

Why are we getting a load of Age of Apocalypse stories, you may ask? Simple. It's because it's ten years since the original story. Which, come to think of it, was itself part of the twentieth anniversary commemorations for Giant-Size X-Men #1, so we're now reading a story celebrating ten fabulous years since it was twenty fabulous years since 1975. Perhaps they should put a little ouroboros logo on the cover of this stuff.

Take the quiz at dicepool.com

No use trying to fight it, you're an eight-sided die, a d8. A fine example of simple elegance, the d8 is one of the least appreciated types of dice, and is often neglected. You are known to be quiet and shy, outward traits that conceal viscous sarcasm and mean wit. You are very smart, yet wise enough to hide your intelligence the quicker they found out how smart you are, the sooner they'll put you to work, which is something you can do without. People call you dark and pessimistic, or moody and cynical. You find little point in arguing.
