I love this. Not because Plastic Man apparently solves mental illness with murder, but because he does so with a giant, anachronistic blunderbuss, like he's a big game hunter circa 1850. Killing people is easy, but Plastic Man kills people with style.

Until I was 15 or so I thought ketchup and catsup were two different things.

Both words are a corruption of a name for a certain type of fish sauce in Asia. Westerners in the 17th/18th century tried replicating its umami flavors with mushrooms or oysters. It eventually became a general term for fermented sauces, as there were even fruit catsups, which are the more direct antecedents of tomato ketchup and are still a thing in some places (Philippines, Quebec).

Fruit catsup is bad enough, but there's also mushroom catsup.  Doesn't that look delectable?

I guess they expected people to ask them about it, as they kept not-so-subtly taking sips with "Trump" very obviously facing outwards while talking with anyone. No one cared enough to ask or say anything far as I'm aware. Swear to god they looked just like the guy in that strip, sans MAGA hat.

God, I would read an entire series of Dick trying to get Bruce to do normal poo poo, especially as an excuse for Father/Son bonding or whatever. Like, them in a boat fishing, Bruce worrying if Aquauman will kick his rear end. Dick trying to BBQ in the backyard of Wayne Manor, with Alfred on hand with a fire extinguisher.

There's a cute bit like that in Injustice 2. Selina and Bruce are just lounging on the couch, eating Chinese food and Alfred takes a second to thank Selina for being a good influence.

Rhyno posted:TOPICAL Yeah they are currently doing that over Doom Eternal. Apparently some dumb joke in it is offensive to SJWs and people are upset over it. According to them anyways. As one of the SJWs that they like to talk about I'm loving hyped for the game (they stuck a grappling hook onto the Super Shotgun) and am slightly annoyed by how now there's two or three video of MAGA types going "LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL LIBS TRIGGERED!!!!!LOLOL."

Wanderer posted:Okay, so I had to look it up, and apparently this is the whole thing: quote:“Mortally challenged,” specifically, is a direct offshoot from the term “mentally challenged,” and it’s a offshoot that’s none too appreciated. It reminds me more of the 90's where every hack comedian said "you can't say short anymore you have to say vertically challenged" or some other variant about Political Correctness Run Amok. I wouldn't be surprised if someone could find a grainy video of a guy in a bucket hat standing in front of a brick wall saying "Dead, oh wait sorry, I mean 'mortally challenged;"

The most surprising part of this whole derail is finding out that Game Revolution is still around. I used to read it like 20 years ago, which is insane to think about.
