I had forgotten about this funny webcomic about movies called “Joe Loves Crappy Movies“.  It’s pretty self exlanatory.  He likes crappy movies!  Anyway, while catching up on the comics I have missed, I came across this gem:

Spider-Man is saying "Hey, if you get to be on my cover, can I be on the dollar bill?"

Yesterday’s issue of the Amazing Spider-Man had a variant cover featuring Barack Obama.  For those not familiar, a variant cover is a alternate cover of a particular issue that is produced in limited numbers.  Typically it’s done just to fuel the collector market.  This issue was no different.  The current store we go to instantly jacks up the price on particular variants.  I totally disagree with this policy, but since I usually don’t care about variants, it’s not that big a deal for me.  Personally, I think if you are a regular subscriber to a comic, you should get a variant.  Joe at Atlantis does it that way, which is another reason it’s the best comic store evah (number one reason is because that’s how I got to know my dear wife ((eventhough she totally flaked on me multiple (((3((((how many times can I nest aside comments?!?!)))) ))) times when I tried to ask her out)) !)

Well, our comic store had it marked up to $39 and when I went in, they were checking out all the auctions on ebay, with it selling for crazy amounts of money.  So on a whim, I picked up a copy.  I listed it on e-bay and Amazon marketplace for $99.95.

Woke up this morning to see an email from Amazon saying that it sold.  How crazy is that?  A quick $50 profit after shipping.

I guess Obama is already redistributing the wealth!

There’s something I have been wondering for a while: how much do Prius drivers really care about the environment?  Considering the toxidity of the materials that go into making the batteries and the huge carbon footprint generated by shipping all the parts around, is it really good for the environment?

What really got me thinking about this is the numerous times I have had to accelerate to get around someone driving a Prius under the speed limit in the fast lane.  I had to explode a whole lotta dead trees and dinosaurs to accelerate past your traffic block.

I mean seriously, if you’re going to be driving a slow car, get thee to the slow lane!

that is all

The Onion has really been knocking it out of the park lately with their dings on both sides of the party lines.

Cindy McCain Claims She’s “Just Like Any Other Female Human”

That one was my favorite until this gem came along:

Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are

Also, take the time to read this short post, it’s hilarious.

The punch line of this installment of the always funny “Order of the Stick” sounds like a conversation that could very well go on at our house.  No, I’m not saying that Maryanne is a balding old man, but in this case she definitely has that same mindset.
