> [@Enright3](#): > > I’d like to add Edgar Alan Poe on there. Oh he wrote some really great things; but he’s like the one hit wonder of authors; providing many more misses than hits.

Anyone else curse out loud when you see a simple stunt obviously didn’t go right? Was watching a Miami Vice clip (of all things), two guys go over the side of a boat, about a 15 foot drop. Crockets stunt double hits his head on the side of the boat on the way down and narrowly misses a metal protrusion on the next rotation. “SHIT! FUCK!” ---

> [@BrickBat](#): > > The all black wheels, all the time fad on cars, especially performance oriented cars, is way way past its sell date. I took my truck in to get new tires. The counter guy asked if I wanted the white letters outside or inside, I said outside, he said ‘really?’ I said yes.

I’ve said it before and I say it again: comic books are dumb. So are all moves based thereupon. If you are an intelligent adult, you have better things to do with your life than watch a large green man and a large purple man punch each other. ---
