"Superhero Convention"

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

So, I haven't been able to post much (much less read comics) because I've been really busy at work. This is partly because we have a User's Group convention this week, where thousands of customers from hospitals that use my company's software come to town.

I only mention it because oddly enough the theme is "Healthcare Heroics", with lots of cheesy superhero iconography, costumes, etc. It's sort of interesting in that it takes a whole range of normal people and brings out how much they know/feel about comics in general. Someone who put together some of the presentations is obv. down with the scene for ex., as patient names included "Wolverine, Logan", "Frost, Emma", "Rogue, The", "Ivy, Poison", "Grundy, Solomon" and "Grey, Jean". Observations later, perhaps.

Hee, "Rogue, The." I don't know why I find that so funny.

Someone should page Dr. Doom

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

To differentiate her from 'Storm, Sue'? (Or 'Storm, Dork').

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 15:13 (twenty-one years ago)

My god, it's full of nerds!

― Vermont Girl (Vermont Girl), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

MISTER JUSTICE.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 16:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Lady Mercy What the kind of fearful name is that? Are you going to mercy villians into submission? And Lady Silver makes me think of some frail, aging dutchess...

― Vermont Girl (Vermont Girl), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Corporal American, of which I am neither.

DAMN YOU WORK FILTER!

Mr Popshots, you are AVENGING AMERICA!

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 16:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Fucking hell I don't wanna be Joe Lieberman.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 16:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Though I think having a character named "Mature Entertainment" featuring a handlebar moustache & a cane & striped red tuxedo that was involved in saucy scandals would be genius. Copyright Poopshats 2K4 HA!

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 16:36 (twenty-one years ago)

My brother gets to be "The Amazing Monkey" and I get stuck with "Lady Mercy"??? There is no justice in the world of men.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 17:01 (twenty-one years ago)

No justice save MISTER JUSTICE.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 17:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha, my girlfriend is either Mistress Mercy or AMAZON MERCY!

Commander Monkey!

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 22 September 2004 17:35 (twenty-one years ago)

That's more like it, my full name gives me:

LADY HEROINE!!

(Which is better than "Lady Heroin" I guess)

― Vermont Girl (Vermont Girl), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I got Mister Monkey. Along with the Amazing Monkey and Commander Monkey, we have enough heroes to attempt Shakespeare. Monkeys unite! "The Tempest" by sundown!

Sparks-"But Captain, your robot would be the perfect man. Handsome, strong...

Murphy-Well, could my robot be a- heh, beautiful woman?

Sparks-Uh, yeah. Sure.

Murphy-Then you'd better believe I'd put my brain in a robot's body!"

2]Sparks-"We were talking about puttin' a human brain in a robot.

Marco-Robot body?! No way. That's against the Natuaral Order!

Sparks-Well, you'd have the strength of five men-

Murphy-NOT five men! Five gorillas. But, since you're that strong, if you tried to pet a kitten, you'd crush it.

Marco-Oh, no! Poor kitty!

Murphy-Yeah, see what I'm talking about?"
