First up: FF Talk
Whataburger does indeed rule. Steak n' Shake ain't too shabby, either.
They just opened a few In n' Out Burgers here (Dallas) in the last week or so - there are literally people waiting hours in line. I'll stick with Whataburger.
No food on Earth is worth a four hour wait, unless there actually IS a Zombie Apocalypse and it takes you four hours to find something edible.
Although, the Heart Attack Grill just opened here too - and has a certain 'Food Porn' aspect I find fascinating.
Chik Fil A is the king of the yardbird, hands down. Grandy's is also a favorite - sometimes you just need a goddamn Chicken Fried Steak in a big fucking hurry.
Next topic: Dumb Ass Talk
While I am familiar with the 'Yankee Retard' - I am afraid he is woefully outnumbered and outgunned by the 'Big Southern Dummy.'
It's just a fact of life - the BSD is not only high in numbers, but bold in attitude.
Bill Hicks famously quoted a female BSD: 'Whatchoo readin' for?' as if 'readin' was analogous to going to the dentist or lifting something heavy.
Speaking of readin':
Hercules was kickass - the Recorder as straight man - brilliant!
As were most of the Marvel Minis back in the day - will have to revisit that Jack of Hearts.
70s Marvel TV:
Being 10 years old and having Spider-Man and the Hulk on TV was fucking AWESOME - regardless of quality (actually, the pilot for ASM is really fucking good - the rest is for nostalgia purposes only)
I also remember the Hulk episode where he fights the 'First Hulk' being particularly badass when I was young. Bill Bixby was greatness.
The Hulk movies were totally fun revisits of the series but with the whack-a-doo versions of Marvel heroes - the Daredevil was good - Thor was so over the top!
The Captain America movies were total WTF material - but I love them just the same.
Dr. Strange had potential - and fairly decent effects for what it was.
I have all of them, and bust them out periodically to relive that 70s vibe - they go nicely with a chunky run of 70s Marvel books to read while they roll in the background.
I also LOVE the old school Marvel cartoons - all of 'em!
The 60s Spidey is the shit! From the 2 per show early run to the Bakshi acid trip 3rd season (I am watching 'Specialists and Slaves' right now - holy balls!)
The Hanna Barbera Fantastic Four show is one that doesn't get mentioned enough - it's basically the first 3 years of FF animated - minus the Sub Mariner who had his rights tied up in a nearly made TV series.
The Marvel Superheroes Show - hell, that WAS the comics animated. Barely. But fucking awesome! Kirby, Heck and Colan - on the fucking TV? Yes, please.
