I’ve always imagined Superman saying ‘hyuk’. But I didn’t dare say so.

Really, I think the big Superman: Yes or yeah? debate even beats the Batman: Hih or hh? debate. I’m awed.

Goodnight, everyone who’s going to bed.

alas

01:56 / 03.01.05

Back to the actual conversation going on here, however, and away from my maternal obsessiveness...

Superman wouldn't say tits or yeah or horseshit.

But he would say "You are right, my friend, the New Year does NOT begin on a weekend. That IS just silly."

He is, after all, staying with me for a few days. He's got his tights draped over the shower curtain in my bathroom. Surprisingly slatternly, that Superman.

Hey, alas! I'm sure she'll be fine.

D'you think Superman "whoops it up" ever?

alas

01:59 / 03.01.05

Do I THINK he "whoops it up"?!

I KNOW he does! He was out 'til all hours last night drinking Jagermeister and flirtin' with all the other superheroes in the local bar.

Did you know he's bi?

Bed Head

02:02 / 03.01.05

Whoop what up, exactly?

He definitely listens to Hootie and the Blowfish. That’s the John Byrne revamp, I mean. The crazy, far-out, silver-age Superman, I’m not so sure what he listens to. Perhaps the Sonics?

And hi, alas! Happy New Year.

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to go out and do the whole being sociable thing tomorrow, so I shall bid you all goodnight, and no doubt see you tomorrow night- which will be my last lateshift before... SPRING BREAK! Ahem.

I hope you'll make me pie.

I like pie!!!!

(actually I also like any excuse to quote from Jimmy Neutron)

Goodnight GeeBee!

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

02:23 / 03.01.05

Goodnight!
Or, as Superman probably wouldn't say, "see you later, goat fellater".

Saint Keggers

02:24 / 03.01.05

But I bet The Flash would.

Bed Head

02:27 / 03.01.05

Not when Kid Flash was in earshot, he wouldn’t.

(goodnight, GB)

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

Apparently they're thinking of renaming the JLA "Supes and his beeyatches".

Saint Keggers

02:36 / 03.01.05

Yeah..
The Man of Steel, now The Man of Bling-Bling!

alas

02:41 / 03.01.05

Sometimes, though, the man o' steel likes to stay at home a drink a nice cup of tea and knit afghans.

I am still here, but rapidly heading toward the place where I become pumpkin-ish.

Stoatie, are you working all night again?

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

02:44 / 03.01.05

Yup. Well, I say "all night", but there's a distinct lack of content in today's papers for any of our clients, so I think we'll be finished very soon. In fact, I'm pretty sure Mr Brigade is packing his stuff already.

Saint Keggers

02:44 / 03.01.05

I bet he could knit the hell out of an afghan!

Maybe Bizzaro Superman would spend his time at home ripping apart afghans.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

02:46 / 03.01.05

Headline of the night-"24-hour drinking will cost millions".

Damn fucking straight it will! It costs enough as it is, and they chuck you out at 11!

Saint Keggers

02:50 / 03.01.05

Here they chuck us out at 3. But if you do it while they're not looking the seat cushions lift up and you can sleep inside the long seats.

alas

02:51 / 03.01.05

24-hour drinking of what?...

Liquid cement. Superman drank that once. And, did he have trouble flying the next day.

Saint Keggers

02:52 / 03.01.05

then he farted and kiled 30!

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

02:57 / 03.01.05

Do you think John Byrne would cry if he read this thread?

alas

02:59 / 03.01.05

I think JB would cry. But it would be good for him. There's nothing like a good cry. Gets you in touch with your saline side.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

03:01 / 03.01.05

I'd quite like to make JB cry. Like a big girl.
I'd like that a lot.

alas

03:01 / 03.01.05

at home ripping apart afghans

the Feds tried to recruit SM to do this in Afghanistan, but he refused. He also refused to help them see through walls and spiderholes in Iraq. He says he now stands for Truth, Justice, and the United Nations Way.

alas

03:05 / 03.01.05

But, Stoatie, would you like to see John Byrne fart liquid cement?

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

03:06 / 03.01.05

I think I'd like to hear about it, or maybe read it in the paper. Not sure I'd want to see it, as such.

alas

03:10 / 03.01.05

True, it wouldn't be pretty. He probably wouldn't draw a picture of it.

I am wide awake, but I have a ton of stuff to do tomorrow, so I should get to sleep. I just don't feel sleepy at all. Alas, she says. Are you insomniacal at all? Does it matter, with your weird hours? (That includes you, keggers. Are you working tonight too?)

sleazenation

03:10 / 03.01.05

I understand that the alkaline nature of hardening cement makes it incredibly painful when taken.. um... internally...

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

03:12 / 03.01.05

He might do a picture, but I bet he wouldn't bother doing a background for it.

Hey, sleaze! How's the travels?

alas

03:21 / 03.01.05

Hey, sleaze! Are you in Canada yet or?

alas

03:25 / 03.01.05

ok ok ok. Now I really have to go to sleep. I think my eyelids are starting to droop. Could one of you hypnotize me, just to be on the safe side? I'm very suggestible, just tell me I'm getting tired and that when you snap your fingers I'll be off to sleep in no time. . .

There should be a barbelith resident hypnotist.

Saint Keggers

03:26 / 03.01.05

I though he stood for the Kurds and Whey?

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

03:28 / 03.01.05

You're getting sleepy, alas...
When I click my fingers you'll think you're a chicken...
No, hold on a minute. Wrong page.
Start again!

You're getting sleepy, alas...
When I click my fingers, you'll be fast asleep.

'Night!

sleazenation

03:29 / 03.01.05

Not quite in Canada yet - Minneapolis and flying from there to the big T.O. on Thursday...

alas

03:29 / 03.01.05

keggers! you're back. Miss Muffit stands for kurds and whey. Which is really kind of rude. This tuffet is not just some fast food joint. She should sit down and eat properly, damnit. She's always afraid of someone sitting down beside-'er... is it John Byrne she's afraid of?

alas

03:30 / 03.01.05

Minneapolis? Why are you there? (I have spent more time than I care to admit in that city.) Where else in the New World are you going to, sleaze?
