I'm not sure a woodchuck can chuck wood. :think:
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He also hates 3rd parties.

The first issue that comes to my mind is Uncanny X-Men #221, the first issue of that title that I ever bought, and it still stands out as one of my all-time favorite X-Men comics.
The Mauraders returned to wreak havoc (no pun intended), once again demonstrating their intensely efficient use of teamwork to magnify their talent for lethal destruction. I also like the fallible humanity expressed in the members of the X-Men, who frankly come out of this battle in San Francisco lucky to even survive. (Keep in mind, the Marauders had already put three X-Men in the hospital long-term, at this point.) I also thought the writer expressed some very touching angst involving the Maurauders' control of former X-Men member Polaris, who was possessed at this point by the insidiously evil Malice and used to devastating effect against Polaris' former teammates.
The plot also maintained the mystery surrounding Madeline Pryor sufficiently, no new clues or plot twists, which is fine by me, since I was terribly disappointed with the direction that long-term plotline went later on.
Alan Silvestri's pencils are my absolute favorite in the history of the X-Men titles, and Chris Claremont was in top form in this period as the writer. All in all, an outstanding issue! :thumb:
You brought to mind . . . Flash Gordon and Ming the Merciless, evil ruler of Mongo.

I was on Facebook, and this girl that I graduated High School with was freaked out because all three of her previous last names were in the death notices in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette on Monday (Yes, she is divorced three times).
Pretty bizarre if you think about it.
Anyway, it got me thinking.
I buy a paper everyday and read most of it, but I never read the death notices.
I know other people that read the death notices everyday.
If you read the death notices everyday let us know why?

Sachin Tendulkar very recently hit the first double century in One Day International cricket.
Apparently he was fated to do so.

When we pay out around 16% of our GDP and leave millions of Americans without coverage while a lesser power like France spends around 7% less to cover everyone, the problem, the thing that's destroying us isn't reform but the absence of it.

Yes, I read death notices.
Why?
Why?
- I'm still in the funeral service profession part time.
- So save the notice/obit of those who lived at the retirement/healthcare center where we serve.
- To see if my name is in the death notices; and if it is, to be sure my name is spelled right; further if it is, guess what.
have we had a thread
where
you post your own death notice?

Something like "This is My Dead End" or "My Death, the Bottom Line"
But then if it is my death notice, I think I'll need a ghost writer.
A death notice thread would be like the dead letter bin at the post office, going no where.

I'm stuck between "Well, it's about time!" and "Whew, glad that's over!"
But those sound so morbid. And not very positive...
:think:
How about, "Aww! I was just starting to have fun!"
