Odds, ends, etc...

Well folks, this week got unexpectedly busy! LOL X-D

And yet I don't want to leave you guys with just one blog post this week! :-O

So even though this blog post will be a mess, I'm just going to hit a few topics just to get caught up somewhat and to also provide possible future blog posts. So let's have at it, shall we? :-)

Lindsay Lohan
Send her ass to jail and keep it there until she shapes up!

Toy Story 3
I saw it earlier this week - while it was still in the theater! And it was great! Review coming next week.

Current Hulk storyline
How I feel about this current Hulk storyline will completely depend on the upcoming issue of Hulk #611. Here's the upcoming cover. Sorry for the bad language that I'm about to use, but if #611 sucks, then I'm going to be pissed. Marvel has let us down before with these huge storylines only to fall flat at the end. Remember Civil War? Man, was I so disappointed at the end. Such a fantastic buid-up only to fall into the utter predictability of "Why can't we all just get along?" ending. So don't fail me with #611, Marvel, or I may not Make Mine Marvel ever again!

Green Lantern "Blackest Night" and "Brightest Day" storylines.
Although I enjoyed the main Blackest Night series, DC went overkill on all the related issues connected to the main storyline. It basically became an excuse to exhume virtually all of the old characters. After awhile, I stopped buying the extra issues and just stuck with the main series. As for Brightest Day, I wish they would go ahead and start answering some questions already as to why "those 12 people" were resurrected by the White Lantern creature. I'm already beyond tired of the stupid "what the hell's happening to me?" expressions on the faces of "the twelve" whenever they do something unexpected. Maybe DC should have held out starting this series until next year.

Lucky Shot bio and stats
is still coming up. Like I said, I got unexpectedly busy this week.

Should I get an iPad?
Do any of you have an iPad? What do you think of them? I was considering getting one. Is it worth not having a camera feature as well as something so basic as a USB port? What the heck's up with that, anyway?

Boob questions
For some reason, I've gotten quite a few boob questions in the past couple of weeks. Maybe it's the summer heat. Since most of them aren't worth a blog entry to themselves, let me go ahead and hit them here.

Do I really keep my cellphone in my bra?
Yes, I do. Not all the time, but most of the time. It keeps my phone handy, and it doesn't fall out.

Is that a real tattoo on your boob?
No, it's a fake one. Due to my super healing, real tattoos don't stick on me. I tried to get a rose on my ankle once, but the tattoo dude went through a ton of ink only for it fade out completely in a matter of hours. It is also because of my super healing that I wear only clip-on earrings. Even when needles can penetrate my earlobes, the holes still completely close up in a couple of hours.

What brand of bra do you wear?
All my bras are custom made by the Dept. of Superhuman Studies' own tailor, who is code-named Alloy. Alloy's power is to combine two otherwise unlike materials into a new material that retains the properties of the old materials. For example, he combines the standard cotton materials of all my clothing with stuff like Kevlar to make the new material soft as cotton, but with the durability of Kevlar. Basically, all my clothing and undergarments are virtually untearable. It's because he is the only known super with this ability that he charges outrageous prices for those who hire out his services. And yes, this means that your taxes paid to ensure that I don't have any "wardrobe malfunctions" while on the job. :-)

What's your bra size?
That's classified. They're big, okay?

Politics
Yes, I still love Sarah Palin. The more that the not-liberal media ridicules her, and the more the entertainment industry ridicules her, the more convinced I get about just how afraid they are of her. NOT because they feel that she is incompetent, but because they know that she appeals because she is genuine, unlike the phonies that most of them are. And when they start making up (bad language again, sorry!) bullshit like "did she have a boob job?" then I know that they are getting desperate. Seriously folks, they are getting unhinged over her!

No, I have not joined the local Tea Party. I'm still waiting them out to see how they turn out.

Yes, I wonder when they are going to cap that damn hole in the Gulf of Mexico. All the more reason we should be drilling closer to shore rather than the middle of the freakin' ocean. We are still going to need oil for the foreseeable future, and since we still need jobs to help "stimulate the economy", then let's "drill, baby, drill". But absolutely make sure that the environment is protected. I just don't see the point of importing our oil when we have enough for ourselves here. And yes, work on cleaner alternative fuel sources, but we still seem to be decades away from making anything viable yet that doesn't involve turning a food source like corn into gas for our cars.

In regards to Arizona's law on immigration, if the Feds would only enforce their own immigration laws, then this wouldn't even be an issue. I say kudos to AZ's governor Jan Brewer for having the balls to tough it out to force others to see how inept a job that the Feds have done on border enforcement. Our immigration laws aren't even as tough as Mexico's own immigration laws, and yet we STILL can't enforce them without worrying about any hurt feelings! If Mexico doesn't worry about the hurt feelings of foreigners in its borders, then why should we?

Etc.
One commissioned art down, another still to come. You all loved the most recent commissined artwork, and I think you'll love the artwork still to come. :-) Stay tuned!

That's probably it for the week, folks. Enjoy your weekend!

My name is NOT Busty!

I was doing a websearch for my blog, and I came across this entry, which asked "What are some unique super hero names for women?"

While I am honored that I can get lumped into such elite company such as Wonder Woman, Jean Grey, and Cat Woman, I also would like to say that MY NAME IS **NOT** "BUSTY"! LOL

"Busty" is what I am, it's not WHO I am!

Crack fashion!

No, I'm not talking about the latest in fashion for those hooked on crack! I'm talking patches to wear over your butt cleavage for those whose pants hang too low! Check it out! LOL

Or better yet, pull up your damn pants! No one wants to see your bare ass! Especially if it looks like a half-opened can of biscuits!

Sky high heeled shoes! Not for me, thank you!

Along with being hideously ugly, these shoes are dangerous! Not for this GF, thank you very much! And check out shoe #2 in that series of pics! Yikes!

Just had to post this. Guys, these aren't fashion, these are disasters!

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane...!

This question appeared in yesterday's Dear Abby:

DEAR ABBY:
My wife is constantly passing gas. She does not care where she is or who is around. I have worked in the trucking industry for almost 30 years and never ran across anyone as flatulent as she is.

She is young and attractive, but there is nothing less appealing than feeling "frisky," getting into bed and hearing the trumpet sounds. I have recommended she see a doctor, but she laughs it off and says, "Everyone does it."

I can't believe I'm the only one with this problem. I could really use some "sound" advice, Abby. -- BLOWN AWAY IN ALLIANCE, OHIO

DEAR BLOWN AWAY:
Everyone may do "it," but perhaps not to the extent that your wife does. There are over-the-counter products that can lessen the problem, which may be related to her diet. However, if her flatulence persists, then I'm recommending you not let your wife "laugh off" the idea of consulting a physician, because her problem could be a symptom of something that needs to be checked out -- and that's no joke.

Did it ever occur to anyone that perhaps this woman has a superpower like The Spleen?

(By the way, I LOVE Mystery Men. I'll try to do a review of it later).

Breast cancer research again

Word of warning: the video below might not be "safe for work". This is in case you have a psycho feminist boss at work who can't tolerate a little - ahem - "titillating" imagery. (Yeah, bad pun. So sue me)



I found this video at the end of this Salon article. I don't know what's gotten into Salon lately that they've gotten all booby, but it makes for interesting reading, because it hits upon stuff that I've recently discussed on my blog - as you regular readers know.

So. Does the above ad make you guys think more about the need for breast cancer research? Are you now motivated to do something about it? Did the ad work as intended, or did it do as the article above states and "insult men's intelligence"? For my part, I don't think men's intelligence is what was being aimed for in that ad, ifyouknowwhatImean...

The ad does reflect on something that I've stated in one way or another on my blog: Sometimes you dudes are too horny for your own good, so it was presenting an alternative for you guys to channel your horniness into productive use. See? You guys are that bad and that obvious. ;-)

At the same time, I do worry that these ads and Internet memes for breast cancer research are sometimes too cutesy given the seriousness of the subject matter. Granted, trying to come to terms with having breast cancer is very trying (to say the least!), but are matters helped with these cutesy-poo responses? It's almost like a denial of the realities of what is coming.

Don't misunderstand, I'm not saying that women diagnosed with breast cancer should suddenly become morbid and fatalistic, but that there should be a balance. And more credit should be given to those women, that they are adults and can cope with what comes. But to learn how to cope with it, they have to know - TRULY know - what is coming. And posting the color of one's bra on Facebook or bouncy boobies in a Youtube video doesn't really do anything to help.

Boy, for something that just hangs on women's chests and feeds babies, it sure causes a lot of problems eh? Anyway, all this makes me think of whether things can be done differently. It can be argued that breasts are THE defining visible characteristic of womanhood, but we also run into the danger of being defined ONLY by our breasts. We are more than our breasts, after all. Women benefit by the lure power that breasts give, but at the same time, we risk losing something in the process - namely, being viewed as a person with a brain instead of a rack.

I'm not sure what to say next. I'll have to think on this some more. Feel free to offer your input on this matter.

White

If you're wondering what the deal is with the posting of a color in Facebook, it's a meme to promote breast cancer research. This Salon article discusses it. The woman posting a color is supposed to be posting the color of the bra she happens to be wearing at that time. Yeah, that's it. So you see the connection between "white" and breast cancer research? Neither do I.

I thought about doing it, but decided against it because I didn't see the point of simply posting a color when you don't know what the heck was going on. How would you know that this is supposed to be about promoting breast cancer research if all they do is post a color?

I only posted "White" above because that is the color of almost all my bras (comes with wearing a white costume, after all!), so what would be the point of simply posting "white" every day? If you didn't know about the breast cancer meme, you might think that I was promoting racism!

Anyway, now you know. :-)

A pro-rape Facebook page? Damn!

This was actually the first time I had heard of the pro-rape Facebook page.

Had I known about it back then, my response would be to suggest that those men who are pro-rape to spend a week in prison and see if they don't change their minds about rape. Why do they assume that rape only refers to man on woman?

Her Morning Elegance video

This was sent to me, and I thought I'd post it here because it was such an interesting video to watch. I also imagine the woman in the video rarely gets a good night's sleep if she does this every night!

Those are some ugly-ass outfits

Below is a pic of Lady Gaga in concert with some other dancers. Man, those are some strange and ugly-ass outfits they're wearing. Note especially those mirrored cups of the bra! Damn! I wanted to find some other word to describe how hideous those outfits were, but "ugly-ass" seemed to work best.

Horrified B-Movie Victims figure set - Way cool!

The boss gave me an early Christmas gift!

Horrified B-Movie Victims Figure Set

Aren't they cool? I love them! I've already got them near my computer. :-)

The Antman's special hiding spot

A reader sent this to me over the weekend and asked if I would ever do something like that. Uh, no. For one, that's just creepy. And for another, it's not a safe spot to hide in if the woman has super strength. The shifting and collisions with each other that my boobs undergo in a super battle would crush whomever would be in there. I know this because the cellphones that I've kept there have been crushed during such battles. While some guys might call being crushed there a "happy death", I do not want to deal with bloody remains in my bra. Sorry guys, but that's just gross.

Hulk lifts ... boulders!

Definitely not safe for work.

Hulk lifts ... boulders!

Yikes! My yearbook pic!

Yikes! Check out my high school yearbook pic! That's when I had "Diane Chambers" (from the old Cheers TV show, of course) hair!

My powers had only begun to emerge. I couldn't fly yet, but I could leap real high. Landings? Don't even ask. I had the beginnings of super strength, and I had my share of accidently ripping car doors off their hinges. My super senses were also beginning to emerge, as I sometimes got confused by hearing conversations that I thought were nearby but were actually across the room. As if adolescence weren't hard enough to deal with, eh?

Even though I was invited to sports, and even though I could have excelled in anything I joined (and could have gotten a college scholarship), I declined - much to the chagrin of the coaches. But I knew I had an unfair advantage, plus I could have accidently and seriously injured other players if I weren't careful. So instead of getting a scholarship through sports, I got one academically. It was better that way in the long run, anyway, because had I gone into sports, the potential to cause real harm to other players would have increased even more, as I got stronger and stronger each year. That would have led to me holding back more and more to keep from exposing that I had super strength, and all that holding back would have only messed me up anyway.

In college, I worked on different ways to practice my powers in secret just in case I ever used them. Not an easy thing to do, but necessary if I was to stop doing stuff like ripping car doors off or accidently walking through pillars or walls (it happened one time. Fortunately, no one was around and the building was empty.) when I wasn't looking where I was going. I was also beginning to fly back then, and I had to go to open fields to practice, because my landings were AWFUL! Adjusting to the ground coming up real fast took the longest to get used to, and my timing for when I touched down had to be split second, or I'll land real hard or awkwardly and twist an ankle or stumble and hurt - or even kill - someone. It was not until my senior year in college before I was able to land right on a consistent basis.

This trip down memory lane has been fun. Maybe I'll do some more of this later. You know, I should ask the boss to make stories of my youth. It would be kind of fun! :-D

Okay, folks - I might have a Labor Day special next week, so stay tuned. Otherwise, we'll see you Tuesday. Have a great weekend!

First Person's Shooter's Syndrome

I just HAD to post this! It's hilarious!

Weird clouds over Texas!

CCheck out these clouds that were in the sky over Texas yesterday! Wow! It's like some special effects that you'd see in a movie!

Busty Adventurer Chick!

No, I'm not talking about me playing WoW! I'm talking about the ad below!

















Don't worry, it's not a link, it's just a copy of the ad that I posted here. What I found odd is that she has all that armor, except to cover her abundant cleavage! In a real sword battle, that cleavage says, "Insert your sword's blade here!" There's also that gap just under her bra and just above the waist armor. Advertises the same thing. Yep, this art was made by a dude, alright... ;-)

Also, I have to wonder how practical those shoulder flanges would be in battle. Yes, I know it's to prevent a sword swing from decapitating her, but I would think that a sword swing would only glance off of the shoulder flange and towards her head. And while she's knocked senseless, her foe will then insert sword into cleavage! End of battle! If those shoulder flanges need to be there, at least curve the top of them away from her head, so that a sword glancing off of the flange will get stuck in that curve instead of striking her head!

And that gold colored trim stuck to the cups of her bra - specifically, the way they at first follow the contour of her breasts, only to curve back out. It's guaranteed to eventually get stuck in some inconvenient way! But I will admit that it's a good way to prevent someone from hugging too close - because otherwise they'll get stabbed in the chest!

I'll admit that I'm no designer of medieval armor, but surely there's armor better suited for a busty woman? How did I become a critic of medieval armor anyway? ;-)

Japanese man petitions to marry comic book wife

Hmm. Check this out: Japanese man petitions to marry comic book wife

Okay fellahs - don't get any ideas about me! ;-)

Star Wars Holiday Special

I found this the other day. It's called the Star Wars Holiday Special, and it came out in 1978, not long after the first Star Wars came out. According to this Wikipedia article, it was known for being really bad. I tried to watch it, and friend - I barely got a third of the way. I just couldn't sit there and let brain cells die. What was George Lucas thinking?

And to think that this special had all the main cast members from the movie in it. I think they did it only because they were still new in Hollywood, and if they didn't do it, they probably were told they wouldn't work in that town again. Luckily, their careers didn't suffer from being in this special, because they went on to make two other Star Wars movies. Word of warning, friends: In addition to killing brain cells, it might also cause sterility.

By the way folks, this is my 50th blog entry! Yay me!

Women running in heels!

Just watching these ladies run in heels made my ankles hurt! You have to have super ankles to not kill yourself running such a race!
