It Was the Sound of a Thousand Fanbois Crying Out at Once
Seriously?©
So Disney announced it’s intention to buy out Marvel Entertainment for 4 Billion dollars… that’s billion with an “illion”. Consider this merger for one moment… we’re talking the company with probably the most global marketing reach buying out the company with over 5,000 characters and who has already produced things like “Spiderman”, “Iron Man”, “X-Men”, and “Blade”. Sounds like a pretty positive situation …. Well that’s not how the fanbois feel ….
Pennywise 2009
Hi there!! Sit back and I will entertain you with a tale of “How I met my Internet Friend, Biddy (and subsequently, his friend Noah and their two wives)”. That title may be a little wordy, so let me rephrase it as this: “Pennywise, or How I met Biddy”
Updates for All

So yea… since the last time we spoke, some things have changed:
Thoughts at a Sushi Bar
Seriously?©
So I go to my favorite sushi bar today for lunch (and why doesn’t that place serve the sushi on the body of a hot naked woman? Clearly there would be more customers there if they would.. I know I would prefer it… especially if I get to pick which of my “friends” will be the platter) and I sit at the bar because the hot Cambodian girl was bartending. Two problems are noticed immediately:
1) I asked for a lime in my drink and got a lemon… seriously? The color didn’t clue you in that they were different?
2) The hot Cambodian girl had her equally hot America friend there and they were chatting and monopolizing the Cambodian’s time.
The conversation between the bartender and her friend turned to the friend’s boyfriend, and I swear this is an actual quote:
USA: I don’t know what’s wrong with my boyfriend… one minute he wants to be lovey-dovey and cuddle…. the next minute he’s mad at me for something
Cambodia: Your boyfriend sounds Dyslexic
USA: Oh, I never thought of that… he may be.
Maybe the problem with the lemon confusion isn’t the most serious problem on this girl’s plate after all ….
ANOTHER Blog?
So yea… I decided that I might as well blog here for my RL stuff as well, and since I already have the Second Life blog at http://secondlifeseriously.wordpress.com then I might as well call this one First Life, Seriously?©. For all 3 of you out there that check these, know that I’ll try to keep the content separate, but I can’t guarantee that there won’t be some overlap. You’ll note on the top of my page here that I refer to the real life adventures of Giskard (My SL Name) / Siddhartha (My every other game name) / .paul (just me). Sometimes I treat them like different people, and sometimes we are all the same. Regardless, here is my opening blog and I’ll post more as appropriate.
