Could anyone please pitont to the issue/# of Transmetropolitan where Spider celebrates the Xmas event, 'Drink you Urine' Day?
The snowman mutilations in the art were the funniest celebration of the holidays I can remember in a while.
Thanks.

Aren't both the Transmet Xmas stories in the VErtigo: Winter's Edge collections. #'s 2 and 3 IIRC. One's about a snowball cannon and I think the other one's the one you're thinking of.

BOth are still available from Diamond comics.

Thank you, Zoom.
Drink-your-Urine Day and Santa: Collector-of-Naughty-Kids-Heads (Filth of the City) have special places in my hearts.

Either that or Calvin and Hobbes.

pointless and uncalled for

Seeing as there is a transmet thread here and I'm in no mood for thread mining.

Suggestions for actors to play the part of Spider in a film?

My favourite would be a a meld between Ed Norton in American History X and Dennis Leary in No Cure for Cancer.

Sadly I cannot come up with an actor that could do the part justice on their own. I've been having along argument about this with a roomie and I want the best final answer.

The Drink Your Own Urine story can also be found tucked away at the end of the 3rd Transmet trade paperback, "Year of the Bastard". The snowball cannon one is at the end of #4- "The New Scum".

Potus, you are aware that No Cure For Cancer is Dennis Leary telling Bll Hicks jokes for an hour. A plagiarist like Leary has no business playing Spider Jerusalem (even if he melds with Edward Norton first).

I don't know should play him, how about Grant Morrison?

Who do you Hollywood would actually choose to play him?

Johnny Depp? Tom Hanks? Charlie Sheen? Alec Baldwin? Pauly Shore?

The possibilities are as endless as they are horrifying.

because of course spider jerusalem is in no way a direct channeling of hunter s thompson, is he?

00:09 / 19.12.01

Maybe he is and maybe he ain't, but if you can find me somewhere in Transmet that directly rips off Thompson's material to the extent that Dennis Leary's bit about Jim Fix rips off Bill Hicks' bit about Jim Fix, then I'll take it all back.

(i bet you'll actually do that now, just to spite me)

Haus about we all give each other a big lovely huggle?

Actually, Leary developed that gag, Hicks stole it, but because fat unloved men with greasy hair had a lot more invested in Hicks' being a genius than tall, blond men with successful careers did in Leary, the fraudulent "Hicks keeps it real" etymology has persevered.

Or am I bluffing?

Actually, Hicks stole it, then went back in time and performed it first, just to throw everyone off the track.
