Yay, comics!

Yeah, that's a tough one. I don't know how I'd even begin defending Dayton.

That's the hope. :)

For myself, and I apologize in advance to the more conservative posters on the board, here's who makes my list: Michael Moore - I respect the bejeezus out of the guy. He's not afraid to express his views, regardless of whether or not they're popular at the time or venue. And regardless of whether or not people agree with him, I don't think anyone can say that he's not trying to help the average joe. Keith Olbermann - Much for the same reasons as Michael Moore, I have an immense respect for Olbermann for being on air five nights a week, to stick it to the people who need it stuck to, and making me laugh along the way. Fiercely intelligent and quick witted. And actually, I'm realizing that now that if I continued, I'd be listing 90% of MSNBC's lineup (Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews), which is pretty boring. You get the picture.

Lately, I haven't been able to stop listening to Bruce Springsteen. I'm writing a particular comic book at the moment, and the majority of the soundtrack is decidedly Bruce. At first I thought I was being ironic, but the further into the story I get, it's looking like it's pretty spot on.

I don't know that I really have any heroes. I mean, certainly not in the respect where I single someone out and think, "Oh man, that person is amazing. I want to be just like them." There are people that have made positive impressions on my life, for sure, and there are are people who I hold in very high regard. I suppose you could look at them as being heroes. Aside from various friends and family (which wouldn't be much fun to list, as no one here would know them), most of people I'm trying to think of are actually either political figures or commentators. Which, if you think about it, really isn't that much to list either...

I was with the guy until he said he liked the potholes. I don't care where I am. I don't like the potholes. Otherwise, I mostly agree with his sentiments. I've lived in Cincinnati my whole life, and while I plan on leaving relatively soon, I'll always love this town. Myself, I love that I can walk to a park that overlooks a river valley (Eden Park). I love that I have no shortage of truely great locally owned businesses to offer my patronage. I love the hills of the city, even if science tells me it's horrible for my gas mileage. I love that I can get a six-pack of great beer for under $15, and a six-pack of this'll-do-beer for $5. And I certainly love that I can afford a huge apartment for a fraction of what I would I would pay for a much smaller one in some larger cities.

I'll be honest, I haven't read through this entire thread, but I DO think that Cincinnati has a culture. I always sort of looked at it as being like Toronto with a dash of Austin, TX.

Actually, Steve's soul has made an appearance since his death. I don't remember the exact number, but it was in one of the recent Thor issues.

Awesome, awesome shots. I always enjoy your work.

Oh, and by the way...Batman didn't die in Final Crisis #6, if the end to Final Crisis #7 is any indication. ;)

Personally, I don't see any one of those guys taking up the cowl. I think Bruce will return after Battle for the Cowl and reclaim his title as Batman. However, IF someone other than Bruce is to become the new Batman, the obvious choice would be Dick. He's next in line. Tim would probably make for the best Batman (Bruce included), in a few years' time. The interesting thing is that it's the last thing he wants, and yet even he knows it's going to happen eventually.

Music in general is dead if you look at the Billboard 100. If you're looking elsewhere, though, it's very much alive, rock included.

Yeeeeeeah, being a fan of 90's R&B pretty much negates any credibility you might have had.

Yeah, the Whigs were great. Dulli's one of my favorite musicians. Everything he does seems to strike a chord with me.

I greatly prefer the self-checkout. It's faster, and the line is generally smaller.

As someone who has experienced DAAP, I would advise you to think about transfering to DAAP, and then think about it some more. To be successful there, you're going to have to become a person you probably wouldn't want to hang out with, much less be. It's not a department that promotes individuality, no matter what the appearances may be. Whatever you decide to do, though, best of luck to you!

I took these two of a "dead mall" in Toledo last year: Okay, technically the second one is a post office, but it was in the mall parking lot. :-D

Ah, the benefits of living in an steam heated apartment. :)

Anyone ever listen to a woman from Portland, goes by the name Grouper? Good stuff.

“Why hasn’t anyone tried to take the best content and bring it offline?” Because it's much easier for people to get it online? Is this a trick question?

I think my favorite Massive Attack song is "Safe From Harm."

I've been listening to Wale's The Mixtape About Nothing a lot lately. A lot of Crystal Castles and The Tallest Man on Earth, too. Oh, and I seem to be on a Massive Attack kick, too.

By Oscar you meant Razzie, right?

Can I join the revolution?
