Diamond List for January 2, 2008

[PhotoJones]

He's a zombie?

 

[Anubis]

Of the Marvel Persuasion.

 

[PhotoJones]

Ugh. That's the worst kind.

[Dread]

Ugh. That's the worst kind.

Marvel Zombies are worse than "DC ****es"? Why? I'm just curious. I'm not offended. 90% of what I buy is Marvel but the rest is DC, Image, or Dark Horse.

It may be because there seem to be fewer "DC ****es" than outright "Marvel Zombies", and as Marvel is usually #1 in the biz, naturally it is human nature to root for the underdog. I mean, is anyone outside of New England rooting for the Patriots this weekend? Not likely.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, Dread's still got some Grey Matter breath himself. You ain't cured yet.

I guess you're nobody unless you read SCOTT PILGRIM or something, huh?

It was a joke, dude.

And anyway, I highly doubt there's a Dark Horse book on your pull.

 

[Anubis]

Well, he is reading Umbrella Academy.

 

[PhotoJones]

Oh, that's right. Even then, that was never a book he'd pick up on his own, though. I think he just recently tracked down the back issues, or something.

 

[Anubis]

Yup. He did. And you just know he did it because he wuvs My Chemical Romance.

 

[PhotoJones]

Yeah, I listened to some songs of theirs on iTunes. Not good.

 

[Anubis]

It's kind of a "Scream into the mic" sorta thing. Not for everybody.

 

[PhotoJones]

I'm not really a fan of bands that have to dress a certain way and wear makeup to get help their point across in the music. Unless it's Bowie. But his music doesn't need any help, anyway. It's godly.

 

[Anubis]

I prefur his ZIggy Stardust stuff myself.

 

[PhotoJones]

I'm a fan of it all, as one should be.

 

[yenaled]

But anything Bowie did after the 60s just sucks.

 

[PhotoJones]

Laughable.

 

[Anubis]

Well, I guess PJ likes to put on his red shoes and Dance to 80's Bowie.

 

[PhotoJones]

Hell yes, I do.

EDIT: That's my ringtone, by the way.

 

[yenaled]

Dance magic dance

 

[PhotoJones]

I just noticed you're from England and you don't like post-60's Bowie. You're a disgrace to your people.

Of course there are people rooting for the Patriots outside of New England...for various reasons. #1, it's against the New York Giants, and who really wants to see another Manning brother succeed. I see enough of flippin' Payton on every other commercial Sunday, now I have to see Eli in some stupid watch commercial, too. Why? Because he's good? No, because he has the last name, Manning. #2, there are a bunch of people who are tired of the '71 Dolphins breaking open the champagne every year when a team gets defeated. It will be nice to have that stopped. #3, and the most important, it would be SOOOOoooooo sweet to see New England get the perfect record and then lose in the playoffs. THAT would be priceless.
