Should I be for or against Aquaman?

"Despite his 'royal lineage' and his claim to rule 3/4 of the Earth, Aquaman had no real place or business in the company of our planet's mightiest defenders. Aquaman never brought to bear the only truly impressive 'power' he had...the ability to raise and command an Imperial Aqua-Army and/or the ability to raise Aqua-Taxes."

or

"Aquaman is a much maligned member of the Justice League, even to the point of being fodder for mid-grade stand-up comedians. But consider this: The ability to command every creature under the sea is incredibly impressive and could be used to prosecute almost any agenda the Justice League could offer, were they to extend their influence into global politics and markets. To offer a speculative example: Imagine how much more effective the U.S.'s embargo of Cuba would be if, in addition to a few ships of the U.S. Navy, you had to bypass half a dozen giant fucking squids the size of Rhode Island. Huh? I rest my case."

As for your new paper, you could always write something on how the internet community has become a viable/global substitute for the more intimate sense of community that was prevalent in the early to mid part of the twentieth century. Argument being that so many try to insist that the internet is an isolating entity when it really doesn't have to be.

I was thinking that very thing. Great minds think alike. And then again, Barb, so do ours.

I rest my case.

I'd really go with the Zombies thing, because you have gotten to the pro-Aquaman conclusion in one paragragh. BTW, MM, congratulations on being used as a bad good example. I mean, with that psych paper and all.

Well, yeah, control of the oceans is certainly part of my world domination plans. That should be happening any day now. I have the equations that prove my space-time manipulation gun will work perfectly. No need to worry, the thought police will have sensitivity training in my new world ord--. Fuck, forget to carry the one. Never mind.

"Who Would Win in a Fight: Aquaman or Plastic Man? An Examination of Pop Synthesis as Exemplifying Ecology vs. Sociocultural Matrix Manipulation Via Neo-Jungian Archetypes."

I've never heard of Plastic Man, is he his own action figure?

Gud, if that's a snide hyphen comment, I will have to kill you. Kill you dead. With a giant wooden hyphen.

Who Would Win in a Fight: Aquaman or Plastic Man?

Plas, because he is the bomb-diggety.

giant wooden hyphen

Is that a plastic man accessory?

Is that a plastic man accessory?

No that would be Interrobang's weapon of choice, I think.

Now I want someone to write Interrobang's theme song.

When you ask a question in an excited manner
Or express excitement or disbelief in the form of a question
Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters‽
No, Interrobang!
Interrobang‽
You got it!

OK, I have actual work to do, rather than work on my sucky song....
