I Can't Remember Any Lyrics For This Title

Maybe you should just give the posts titles that actually tell people something about them? {I used to. I ran out of ways to say it was a post starring an adorable baby panda. Did you see the NFL Live crew asking Shamu who was gonna win the Super Bowl? I would have almost felt sorry for everyone involved in that, except I had the misfortune to see it happen, so to heck with them.} Who did the whale pick? {The Patriots, on the basis of it sounding happier when the handler mentioned them, I think.} Well that makes sense. Orcas are evil, so they would naturally side with New England. {True, true. Any possibility you could covertly take out Brady's knee? Or do it in broad daylight. No one will believe it either way?} I am not your personal hit squad! {Fine, I was just asking.}

Well, I should give Liz a Hug, but she's on fire, so maybe someone can help her with that, and then I'll get around to helping her. {I think she's gonna need protection from Magneto more than a hug, but it's a nice start. She probably needs to calm down.} Johnny probably needs a Hug too, after that really bad date he had with that text-message girl. {He could probably use some shots as well.} I bet his powers can burn the disease out. {You think this Johnny has that level of control over his powers?} Sure, why not? I think Bobby needs a Bonk because he could have come to visit Kitty without using a big, attention-getting ice slide. {True. You have to think the student body sees someone with super powers, and immediately assumes crash positions.} Is Xavier dead in Ultimate Spider-Man? {I have no idea, which is kind of a concern since this Ultimatum thing sounds like an attempt to tie the Ultimate Universe together more tightly. If you're gonna play that, stuff has to sync up at some point, right? So who gets applause?} I'm not sure. Mary Jane did a good job showing concern for Liz after Liz had been kind of rude lately, and it was nice that Bobby brought Kitty the note from Logan, so let's give both of them some Applause. Also, I want to give Kong a Hug. {How come?} Because he seems like a nice guy, or he's really trying to be, and he likes Kitty, but I think he's always going to feel like he'll lose her to some other person with superpowers. {Feelings of inadequacy? That would explain why he played second banana to a loser like Flash for so long.} Yeah. I think that's what Peter told Kitty, wasn't it? {Something like that.}

When are you going to start getting more comics? {Soon, soon. Be patient.} I'm young, I don't have to be patient! {Ah, how I remember those days of my youth, where everything had to happen RIGHT NOW *cue shimmering visual effect*} Hey! No flashbacks! {Ruin my reminiscing will you? You leave me no choice but to turn to a life of crime! I will adopt the identity of the Flash. . .Backer! Flashbacker! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!} What are your powers? {Let me show you, with this extended flashback to my origin!} AHHHHH! NOOOO! You fiend! {Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!} Must resist. . . overwhelming. . . nostalgia. Take. . . this! *BONK* {Agh, being hit on the head! My one weakness, as it leaves me too dazed to think back on the good old days! How did you know?} Because bonking people on the head is the answer to all problems. {That's true. I once got out of a difficult situation with a teacher by. . .} No you don't! *BONK* {OK, I'll stop now.} Good.

I think we also need some additional applause for Kong. I mean the guy suddenly admits he knows (in a thought box, but still) and is intentionally keeping it a secret because he doesn't want to mess with his friend (are they friends, I'm not quite sure on that).

I'd also like to propose a bonk to every member of the Mighty Avengers. They need to stop thinking, its distracting. :)

Stupid overused thought bubbles.

Oh definitely a hug for Kong. He's fast becoming one of my favorite characters.

A hug for Black Adam, who finally figured out his new "word". Hilariously!

A hug for all the Alpha Lanterns. Man did THEY get screwed.

A bonk to the Guardians, for coming up with this idiotic idea.

A hug to John Stewart for being the only one with enough sense to turn them down.

A bonk to Tony Stark. You know why. We ALL know why.

seangreyson: I think you're right about Kong, I'm interested to see the point where he lets Peter know that he knows. As to whether they're friends or not, I think they're getting that way, especially since Pete clearly wants to still be friends with Kitty, and she like Kong. Pete sees the good in Kong, he's probably just not sure Kong won't revert to his days of bullying Pete.

I don't mind the Mighty Avengers thinking, I just wish their thoughts were more worthwhile. I could certainly do without knowing how often Ares thinks about having his was with the ladies on the team.

sallyp: "Alpha Lanterns" does seem like an idea destined to blow up in the Guardians faces. At least John Stewart remembered the first rule of military service (if movies are correct): Never volunteer for anything.
