15 Minutes MATURE CONTENT: 15 Minutes with Lightning Strykes!

[Lightning Strykez!]

How were you able to get through school? Scholarships? Grants? Loans?

I had a scholarship. And then I got a boyfriend who was a lawyer that made $420,000/yr. I became gay for pay.














Just kidding about the "pay" part. Some of ya'll take things so seriously, I've gotta disclaimer this s*** up.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

From Marx:

wow:

Does that mean that you voted for McCain/Palin? Or you just didn't vote at all?

Of course I didn't vote for that shriveled old man or his ditzy Batgirl-gone-wrong sidekick. Come on.

I just didn't vote at all. Neither of the options appealed to me.

[BLACKOUT]I hope Matt sees this. It may give a new dimmension to our relationship. [/BLACKOUT]

The Great Kurosawa is Among Us:

So LS, do you miss the old FF forums and the brutal arguments on there as bad as I do?
Ya know, I really do. Those were some of the best times I've ever had here. Remember the three-way battles me and Kel would have with Wetgorilla? And then the entire forum--despite our disagreements about aspects of the movie--united and drove him out as a collective? ******g brilliant. We don't have anything like that anymore.

Do you think constantly misspelling definite with an "a" is a sign of pretentiousness?

More like a sign of ignorance, but...okay. LOL

I got a friend who is a drag queen, so I feel for ya catching flack over things that no adult should ever care about.

Yeah. Although I must admit I have never been turned on or attracted to the whole drag queen/trannie/transgender thing. At all. I understand their struggle. And I know it's considered a part of the whole LBGT community but I just can't get with that. I've got a penis. I'm a man. And I celebrate that fact. And I like men and women for what God gave them too. If I ever laid down with a woman and she suddenly pulled out a penis from under her skirt I think I'd die.

In New York you must always check the neck. Nothing is as it seems.

Yeah, there was some guy in there that called Kirby a hack and I don't think I've ever been more pissed then I was then.

The 'definite' thing came from a recent Family Guy where Brian received a brutal ***** out and one of the notes of his pretentiousness was that particular misspelling which I'm very guilty of and I'm a pretentious guy myself.

And I dig ya about the Drag Queen bit, but hey whatever people find fun, I'm good with. I'm about as conservative a guy as there is except for my politics, but I've never understood why people care how adults choose to live or anything else.

From Marx:

I wouldn't have pegged you for a scaredy cat.

I don't like putting my life in jeopardy. I've only got one of them.

I got a sick feeling to my stomach when I read that you didn't vote for Obama. I had hoped that you wouldn't vote for McCain/Palin, but I had to ask.

I love it. And it made me think of Yvonne Craig, which is double cool.

 

[T'Jai]

What (if any) are your creative outputs?

Are u currently reading any comics?

I remember him. Hated him too.

Oops. I didn't mean to call you ignorant.

*tries to dislodge foot from throat*

It's like something new for some of these folks. I've given up trying to understand it myself. My motto is "Do You, and FTW."

 

[Ipodman]

What online games do u play?

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Now you know why I originally didn't accept your invite to join the Hype Democrats Club. I'm not a democrat. For some reason, some don't believe me here because I have democratic sensibilites depending on the subject.

I'm an Independent.

...I see.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Wassup T'Jai...welcome to the party dude:

What (if any) are your creative outputs?
I like writing. I also enjoy singing. Some have said I have a nice voice.

Are u currently reading any comics?
if so what are they?
Yes, but I just downsized my quota: Now, I'm only getting JSA, Astonishing X-Men, Teen Titans, The Avengers, Fantastic Four and believe it or not...Herogasm.

what do you find attracts you about fictional characters?

I'm more drawn to Marvel characters than DC's because the former seem to have more relatable struggles like my own. DC's heroes and heroines seem a bit too plastic, too perfect sometimes. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but they don't seem to have the same realness that say, the Fantastic Four do with their dysfunctionality.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

HOLY OMG, It's I SEE SPIDEY!

Do you think that Obama is doing the best he can?

I think so. But it sure didn't take us long to turn on him though, did it? Wow.

Do you think that the troop surge is a good idea?
I think all of it is a bunch of BS. His whole troop surge thing was merely a politcal platform to get hired as POTUS ("We'll just move the problem from here to here").

And to be honest, I didn't even vote for Barack Obama. Bet ya didn't know that did ya?

No I surely didn't.

Alot of people are turning against him but I'm not. I'm still happy with my vote. I do think that we should just pull out of both of these useless wars though but luckly I wasn't nieve enough to think that would happen.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

From the Ipodman!

What online games do u play?

SuperheroHype.com. It's all one big game to me.

Thanks for the question man.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

...I see.

Aren't these 15 Minute sessions great for helping us learn about our peers here? You are one of my closest friends here and for some reason you didn't know that.

 

[Paradoxium]

I know. The richochet effects of the Bush Administration will continue to rock this country until 2030.

Bush didn't help, and I am no fan. But my take it is a systematic thing as a result of certain decisions made decades ago by both parties. Like a snowball going down a snow hill. I think in 5-10 years, some major changes are going to happen no matter who is in government. It's going to suck for Obama and/or his incumbent, because they will ultimately be helpless to these (market) forces.

Maybe after that time period, you might get your chance to start up something, because entrepreneurs will be what they will need. Not bankers or lawyers.

I'm not quite sure why I didn't know that, to be honest. I probably should have.

Since you did not vote in the 2008 general election, who have you voted for for president?

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

No I surely didn't.

Alot of people are turning against him but I'm not. I'm still happy with my vote. I do think that we should just pull out of both of these useless wars though but luckly I wasn't nieve enough to think that would happen.

Me neither. Hey I deeply respect the man; love his adorable kids and elegant wife. But I knew that anyone coming behind Bush would be doomed. It was just too big of a mess. You almost need TWO presidents in power right now: one to fix the past and the other to address the present issues!

Good points, and I agree.

Bankers are like industry poison right now. I would not want to be them right now. LOL

 

[T'Jai]

what do you write?

and how do u feel about DC's "Marvelization"?

does it tempt you to pick up more of their titles?

is the small selection due to interest, financial or?

 

[Marx]

Since you have admitted to having sex numerous times on public beaches, have you ever been to a nude beach? If not, would you ever consider going to one?

 

[Paradoxium]

Poisoned chalice.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

I'm not quite sure why I didn't know that, to be honest. I probably should have.

Since you did not vote in the 2008 general election, who have you voted for for president?

The last vote I cast was in the very early 90s.

Yeah, things are pretty f**ked up and will continue to be. I'm a fairly optimistic person though so I won't through myself off of a building.

Have you ever campaigned for a political candidate?
