What are your favorite sj.com handles?

Dammit! I was gonna say vaccine first but then I thought that that didn't make a damned bit of sense. Shows what I know

I haven't kept up the past few years, so I had no idea he was totally alive again.

 

Ha. Don't expect these things to make sense. I gave up on that a long time ago.

Plus, it's an X-Men character. No way they stay dead (even though, if I remember correctly, he was creamated).

 

If they can implant Psylocke's personality into another woman's body, having retain both her powers and the other woman's martial-arts abilities, I guess they can bring a guy back from the dead after he's been cremated.

 

Transplanting the personality of one woman into another? Hmmm. That sounds promising.

 

Would that cost about the same as a boob job?

 

Probably be more valuable ... and more fun, if you ask me.


As for the thread, I've always like BBAM. Simply because I've slung a lot of agate in my day.

 

Maybe she could get a two-fer ..

 

Corky Ramirez up on 94th St.

Best one yet.

 

That's just tacky.

 

lawrence ofalabia still gets my vote, though I do like Dale Cooper for the reference to The Greatest TV Show Of All Time.

As for my name (how awesome is it to have one's handle cause a threadjack like that, when one is not even around to help?!) . . . . I have had many names here, of course. But Piotr Rasputin - Colossus - was my favorite X-Men character growing up, next to Nightcrawler (thought it was interesting that a blue demon guy was portrayed as such a devout Catholic). And Kurt Wagner just wasn't as distinctive a handle.

Colossus was the soul of the X-Men, the "Petey Pureheart" whose great strength and large size hid his artist's heart. I can't say I liked the storyline where 17-year-old Colossus and 14-year-old Shadowcat were hooking up, but I understand they are now a couple.

But aside from that major misstep by the writer, Piotr was always presented as a young guy who wanted to be good, but who slipped sometimes because he was human. His eagerness to hop into bed with alien chick during Secret Wars, for instance. But he crossed over into super cool forever territory for me when I was 11 and he lost his temper amid tragedy and broke Riptide's neck during the Mutant Masacre, turning and yelling, "Harpoon! Make peace with your gods, little man . . .YOU ARE NEXT!!!"

And since I stopped reading the comic with any regularity the moment Chris Claremont left, as far as I"m concerned he's alive and well.

As for the address . . . if I may pat myself on the back here for my uber-nerdness: I used to list the address as "The Ust-Ordynski Collective, Lake Baikal, Siberia." I planned to change it to the School for Gifted Youngsters the moment I began grad school. So I did.

 

Wow...that's even better or nerdier than my suggestion about listing your location as Six Feet Under while he was dead.
