Hulk does have a cool roller coaster named for him.

Would the Doper Holy Trinity consist of Unca Cecil, Ed Zotti and Og?

If so, which are the father, son and holy ghost?

Merchandising? And what’s the W.W.O.D. bracelet? Chopped liver?

And in case you didn’t notice, the Hulk movie was a stupendous flop. I wouldn’t bet my money or my soul on that CGI abomination. I’ll take my Hulk in the form of a green Lou Ferrigno, thankyouverymuch.

I’d have to agree. However, in light of some poster’s accusations that Cecil is not real (heresy, I say!) and that Ed is the real deal, the order may go:

Cecil= Father, mythical god figure from which all this has originated, but no one’s ever seen.  
Og= Son, born in the likeness of the Dopers, created to save us from ignorance.  
Ed= (Holy) ghost writer of the columns.  
Methinks Og gonna SMASH me for typing such blasphemy.

What’s the deal with the CGI’s shorts? Were we supposed to believe he had magical shorts that expanded to like ten times their original size?

Episode 1, _Og Eye For The Green Guy._ Og throw out Hulk’s crushed-car coffee table, analog clothes. Hulk get hip, Hulk dig free sofa, mmmmm. 😃 Og introduce Hulk to Fiona. 😛 Hulk owe one to Og, bigtime. Oh, yeah, babe. Now Og have six cases tearaway shirts. Oy! What Og do with all that? Uh, you not tell Shrek, OK? Og not fear Shrek, but Shrek such a grump.

Og have better things to do. Use wealth and prestige to promote social causes, host gala dinners. Last week Og attend benefit hosted by Rob Reiner. But Og remember _North_ no funny, so Og smash Reiner!
