    I had my swine flu shot on the weekend. I'll keep you posted if any signs of autism occur. I'm hoping to be a savant with special abilities and so on. Nothing so far, tho.

        definitely 96 matches, definitely.

        If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

          Radioactive Spiders, Cosmic Radiation, Gamma Radiation etc. That's why Batman Sucks, his only special powers are an Innate Capitalism (to make the money required for his toys), and Low Self Esteem (hence the need to dress up).

            I got mine a while ago and nothing happened. Are you baiting the good captain crunch here?

                  What are you talking about?! Batman has a super power. He got it from an obscure radioactive metal known as "neverbeatentwiceinium" First time he meets a super, he is handily defeated. Super strength, speed, or laser eyes, all are able to defeat the ninja/knight/capitalism powers. Second time is different. Sometimes it doesn't even take 2 meetings, it can kick in half way through a trouncing if the super gets cocky. My favorite demonstration of this was in a Batman/Superman cartoon where Batman shows in Metropolis and Superman gets in his face about it. Then this stuff kicked in. We see the super get all uppity and says something like "come on, you can't beat me, Bruce Wayne, I'm Superman." He responds by taking something out of his utility belt using his super power. "You peeked. Oh by the way Superman, this green stuff is called Kryptonite. Yea, I had to lead line the pocket it was in. Neat stuff huh? Here, let me point out I could hand you your ass, sissy. I'm going to go now, next time I leave this burning a hole in your chest." Superman goes home, confident that Batman will behave because he knows his secret identity. In bed he hears something looks and sees a little bat on his cape. At that point he zooms out to a skyscraper across the street and we see Batman. "Hi Kent." No one can one-up Batman.

                      Yeah, who knew Robert Downey Jr. could play a narcissistic alcoholic? I mean, that's like asking Snoop Dogg to play a pothead, or Paris Hilton to play a-- You get the idea.

                              Same... The guy has serious talent, though. Lot of bad actors out there, that just play themselves and answer to a different name (Steven Segal, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt)... But RD really gets into the role. Not as much so as Johnny Depp or Gary Oldman, but still... He's good.

                                  Well comparing anyone to Gary Oldman is unfair. He's a chameleon. He actually scared Harrison Ford during Air Force One.

                                    That's exactly the joke in Tropic Thunder... I really enjoyed that movie, and BTW, the dance of Tom Cruise really made me laugh :P

                                      That's easy. Batman would always win after the first confrontation. However, the defeat would still benefit Doom, and it'd just be a dead Doombot in front of Batman. Over the course of 30 to 40 defeats Doom would be able to then make a machine to bring back his mom but doing so would destroy the world after Batman hits some switch so Doom doesn't do it. Doom then talks about how awesome his mom was, how he misses her every day, and Batman, feeling sorry, goes out for drinks with him. Doom short circuits from drinking some brandy because that, too, was a Doombot.

                                      If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

                                        Radioactive Spiders, Cosmic Radiation, Gamma Radiation etc. That's why Batman Sucks, his only special powers are an Innate Capitalism (to make the money required for his toys), and Low Self Esteem (hence the need to dress up).

                                          Well comparing anyone to Gary Oldman is unfair. He's a chameleon. He actually scared Harrison Ford during Air Force One.

                                          There's a reason he's my all-time favorite actor. Oldman is just a bloody genius... The big joke is that since he only does supporting roles, a lot of people never even recognize him. He's an entirely different person in every role... Not just a different name, but a different person.
