    Bah its tea, except you add equal parts water and sugar. Thats how we roll in the south, diabetes, strokes and heart attacks!

    Yeah but Power Girl's beewbs are her emblem. I mean if she went in for breast reduction what good would that hole be.

    Yeah thats hard core, but I laugh in the face of your superior asian digestive tract! As a very young lad I used to eat boiled eggs shell and all. It looks like that training will come in handy.

    No really, that's about all I drink. I do love a nice cold glass of milk (2%) as well but usually just have water. Nice cold refreshing water...mmm...


    I drink tea now and then but...my "cool story"...


    Being from the "north" (ie. PA), tea meant; you know...tea. When my family moved down to the south (VA); my brother and I were helping another friend from church (the 'friend' was a girl that my brother was after so.... ); the girl's mom was like, "if ya'll are thirsty I bought some sweet tea from Hardee's (a fast food restaurant here) so help yourself!"

    So later on, I poured myself a little cup of it, took 1 'gulp' of it and was like, O_O that's no tea! That's sugar-water!



    Cool huh?


    But yeah....over time I haven't seen the appeal of sugar-water "tea"....
    Pffftt, its the south man, thats what we do However I do agree, sweet tea is way to sweet. If you think Hardees is bad, try McDonalds (thier unsweetened tea is plain awful) sweet tea or Chik-fil-A's sweet tea, I can literally cut the latter's with a gallon of water and its stll unacceptably sweet to my palette.

    The lemon-juice version is very much of an "eat it now" type cheese. It doesn't keep for very long at all. Great though if you are making dip for a party as you can add whatever you want to it, like dill or garlic or even hickory flavoring. I like it because you know what went into it, plus, it's kinda fun to make.
    Speaking of which I made my first batch of queso fresco (or is it the other way around) I used a gallon of milk and about a 1/3 of a cup of cider vineager to curdle the milk. I think put a bit of salt in it, let the whey drain and then pressed if to further the process.

    It wasn't perfect, but it was a neat start. I intend to try this again and put a little more salt in it. The best thing about this cheese is that you can fry it!

    and Hickman, you remeber that when your looking for people to fill the zombie team. I got cheese making skillz damnit!

    The X-Men team in Secret Wars was Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Professor X, Rogue, Storm, Wolverine and Lockheed the Dragon. All of them except Cyclops and Lockheed first appeared in 1975s Giant Sized X-Men #1. So even though we had these characters for about nine years our time, it was probably less than a year comic time.

    Spiderman, on the other hand had been around for 22 years by the time of Secret Wars, probably 2-3 or more years comic time. Add in the fact that Spidey’s always had a much better intuitive grasp on his powers than most mutants and the only one with more experience than him was Wolverine.
    Frankly that wouldn't wash with me since Spiderman is pretty much as portrayed as very young despite the time his comics have been published, not to mention nearly all of his fighting skill seems to be by practical experience. Wolverine is defintely older and more experienced even at the time of Secret Wars and the multinational X-team have had some serious combat time over those nine years not including training time in say the Danger Room.

    I pretty much chalk Spidey's wins up to the sacred cow mentality - namely Spidey is a headliner so he gets the win even if it should come out the other way.

    Well hopefully they will keep mutants rare has hen's teeth so the speak. A hand full of mutants is more than enough.
  16. That abberation on cover 9 aside, Spidey definetely punches above his weight. He's beat the hell out of Iron Man before.

    Although, I concur, its probably a safe bet that the Avengers will come out on top.

    I hope its temporary.
  17. http://comics.ign.com/articles/121/1...2-01-13_163000=

    So I see this link on IGN and click it. The first comic will answer a question I've always had about a guy who uses a magnetically reinforced exoskeleton against the master of magnatism (I always figured Tony would be on the severe losing end of that battle but I digress)

    However 9 covers down I see Thing versus what looks like a Colossus/Juggernaut hybrid?????????????????? Did Marvel really screw something up that bad or is this some one shot anomally (this collosnaut)?
  18. Ah got it, in the ancient days of D&D we called this iaijutsu and had iaijutsu masters.

    You youngsters will no doubt tell me how this is wrong, but we didn't care, hell we even put it in a book called Oriental Adventures.

    I approve of this power set as long as its not constrained to some namby pamby katana.

    Bat thats the folly of Tyran't decsion, the wonderful thing about free choice is the way it prunes the tree so to speak. Bad choices beget dire consequences and as a whole the human race improves. Coddle dummies and well each successive generation will get that much more, well err... dummier

    Then again maybe thats what Cole wants? To rule over a bunch of drooling meat bags? He is immortal afterall.

    Man almost got all the bases covered there. If only your robot had a vampric werewolf's brain that had formerly been housed in a cat-girl body you would have nailed it and been able to apply the cyborg moniker too!
