Ah come on Noah. Those first twelve issues were pretty cool. They mentioned RED DEER in the first issue. I nearly wet my pants when I read that. Of course I had a problem with that back then.
It's just that I remember when they first appeared in the Xmen and I was SO PROUD! A bunch of Canadians that could go toe to toe with the Xmen! And they had a rumble in downtown Calgary where I was living at the time. Woot!
When the first issue of their comic came out and there they were on the cover pushing well-established Marvel heroes out of the way saying,"Stand aside heroes this is a job only WE can handle." I almost peed myself.
Jump ahead in time and everyone on that cover was either dead, insane, pathetic, or a monster of some sort. And no-one can tell me that it wasn't a deliberate middle finger at the Great White North.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
