Dude!  I just read that article in my print version of Rolling Stone on the crapper this weekend!  I was going to check out the websites sited but forgot.
From: NickNick Entered on: December 30, 2008 8:49 PM
I never even thought about cheking out the listed sites.  I wonder if they'd have any pics or anything. You know, as crazy as it is, it's a little insirational in some ways.

World Superhero Registry Incredible.  I'm coming as one of these guys for halloween next year.
From: Jackzilla Entered on: December 31, 2008 1:50 PM
Wow.  I like that some of them have MySpace pages too.
From: Bunky Entered on: December 31, 2008 2:25 PM
Hmmm. Maybe Zilla could get some of the MoFo's who live in Michigan to stop by at comic book day 2009 if they are not on patrol that day... You should add Bells in his super-sweet Halloween costume to the registry!

I had no idea.  This shit is fascinating.  It would be even better if these guys weren't such clear fat losers.

Fatty, what would your Superhero name be? I can only guess what your powers are...
From: BigFatty Entered on: January 1, 2009 10:14 AM
Fatty is partial to 'Dirty Sanchez', but that is better for my brother.  Isn't BigFatty a good enough name anyways?  The Bone wants to be called 'The Smoke' but I'll bet he'd really be 'Armored Duece'.  Zilla would tip his hat to Prince and be called 'The Purple Haze'.  Johnny.... 'Buttnick Bells' of course.  Swerb... 'The Swerb', he is already at superhero status anyways.  Bert, I'd call 'The Master Debater' while NN would be 'The Chronic Masterbator'.  RoboSpider would be 'Rob'. Random thoughts by Fatty... I watched Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation a few days ago.  The thought occurred to me that Bert is starting to lead the life of Clark Griswald....  at least there are many similarities. Do you like Segways?  Monkeys?  Well - put the two together and you get the following video.  Happy Birfday Jack! http://video.yahoo.com/watch/3756470/10311149

Wait... Why am I Clark? I don't decorate my house (condo) with any x-mas lights, I'm not installing a swimming pool, and I'm not lusting after the girl at the lingiere counter (much). And I haven't sledded in years. So what's the big similarity?
From: BigFatty Entered on: January 1, 2009 4:24 PM
Being like Clark is not such a bad thing.  He is a great guy and great family man.  He is always going way beyond to give his family the great experiences.  But in your specific case, you are both from Chicago.  His neighborhood in the movie is the one I envision you moving to later.  You both have hot wives that call you Sparky.  Plus, his Xmas light project and sled waxing compound is akin to some of your technical projects - the first video picture frame, RAID-5 Array...  Of course you don't have all the hijinks - unfortunately.  But I do see you striving to give your kids the authentic experiences that they will remember and appreciate later, with fond memories of dad. Dude - being like Clark is a good thing.  But - you aren't as fun and lovable as he is on the family roadtrips.  Flashback to the Paradise Pup burger outing, Cedar Point Trip...  I think you need a few more Christy Brinkley encounters to mellow you out some.
From: Ross Entered on: January 1, 2009 6:53 PM
I guess the thing that most jumps to mind for me is that Clark counts on his bonus a bit too much - ie, he's an idiot. Given that I'm in investment banking in this climate, I'm proud to say that I am not so dimwitted.

So no pool for the Bertstains this year?  I hope you like the Jelly of the Month club from BoA.  You know, it is the gift that keeps on giving. I left Bunky out of the Superhero names.  Let her be called "Tittles McBoobie"
From: Ross Entered on: January 2, 2009 6:26 PM
Hell no, I'm not ever getting a pool.  My parents had one after the time I was 15.  It was, and still is, a pain in the ass to maintain.  Way too little bang for the buck, at least in the Midwest.
From: Jackzilla Entered on: January 6, 2009 11:38 AM
Nickers - I think you need to draw a group shot of all of us as super-heroes. Hello?  Hello?  Where is everyone?  Quit wasting your time on Facebook, people!
From: Bunky Entered on: January 6, 2009 4:33 PM
I am a fan of Fatty's speedo photo...

Ross is forgoing JA for Facebook.  When nothing is going on JA, I look and see all you bitches on FB.  The whole world is on FB.  Can't we be the few that resist?  Besides, you can't write any deep or detailed stories on there.

I should work on some kind of integration between Facebook and JA.  You could update your status here and it would be reflected there, or some kind of plugin to facebook itself that could get/send content to/from here.

BigFatty said: Ross is forgoing JA for Facebook.  Oh. The outrage. I can barely contain it.
From: The Bone Entered on: January 6, 2009 7:24 PM
What did you think of Appaloosa? I saw it on the plane ride home. Not half bad. No Unforgiven but I was diggin Ed Harris and Viggo.
From: NickNick Entered on: January 7, 2009 7:18 AM
I can work some sort of super hero poses for everyone.  Bunky, I think I'll use the one of you in the Butt Plug (tm.) My Facebook usage has dropped off the charts dramatically.  Like Rad, I've had some sites blocked here at work.  Of course, they've seen fit to let me keep JA because that one is much safer for work than FB.
From: Ross Entered on: January 7, 2009 7:43 AM
Here was my facebook mini-review of it.  I'm sure Fatty will be howling since I posted it there first: Pretty good western. Almost seems like you've seen it before, though - not much new ground to cover. Also, Rene Zellwegger looks haggard, and Ed Harris was trying to channel Robert Duvall a bit too much. Still, very watchable for western fans.
From: RobotSpider Entered on: January 7, 2009 7:53 AM
Westerns, huh?  Never was a big fan of westerns.  Bunch of dudes hangin' out, carrying outdated hardware and riding 1400lb motorcycles that shit.  The one thing I can't get past is how much everyone looks like they need a hot shower.  Say what you want about American hygiene habits, I'd rather I smelled like melon and citrus than have to smell what your horse-ridin', bean-eatin', cigar-smokin', whiskey-drinkin', sleepin'-on-a-cactus ass smells like. Live fast, leave a fresh-smelling corpse.  That's my motto.  That way, you're ready to go when you reanimate as one of the Walking Dead!

I think the draw is the hard-livin and the gunplay.  I can't be sure, as only the warrior class can truly identify here.
From: Jackzilla Entered on: January 7, 2009 1:06 PM
If Bert is Warrior Class I think I need an updated Character Class Sourcebook 'cuz apparently there's been some revisions.
From: Ross Entered on: January 7, 2009 1:33 PM
That's what I'm saying - I'm not warrior class, so I can't tell for sure.
From: The Bone Entered on: January 7, 2009 2:23 PM
Ha ha ha ha to Bert and Zilla's comments. I have to agree though about the hard-livin and gunplay. I wouldn't say that Westerns are my favorite genre but some of the Eastwood flicks, especially Unforgiven are full sweet. I do agree with Robert Spider about hygiene but it's a movie so it is irrelevant to me.

The Bone said: What did you think of Appaloosa? I saw it on the plane ride home. Not half bad. No Unforgiven but I was diggin Ed Harris and Viggo. The movie is based on a novel by Robert B. Parker, who writes the Spenser novels, as well as other mystery books. (No, don't judge his books solely on the tv series, "Spenser for Hire.") They are an enjoyable, light read, with excellent dialogue. He usually spits out a couple a year. There was a second follow-up to Appaloosa that came out recently. It is titled "Resolution" and based on the main characters from Appaloosa.
