1 That's just wrong. Funny but wrong. They say that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I guess bedsores don't make you stronger.

(Hides head... that was wrong too.)

2 Okay, I admit it. . .I laughed at you both.

Honey, the way I see it, he's prolly laughing at all the Superman jokes right now, too. Running around and jumping and dancing n' stuff.

Yeah, I know. I really *am the Pollyanna of the freakin' blogosphere. Aheh.

3 Okay, I guess I'll be the one to bring it back to try to Earth!

A good man is gone. He made his name playing a heroic and kind fella named Superman.
And don't forget his performance -- post-accident -- in the TV movie remake of Rear Window!

For the past decade he's been busy as an advocate for research into the healing of traumatic spinal chord injuries. Not just for his own self but for everyone.

He promised us that he'd walk again, but he knew better. Chris Reeve knew that the only job left in his life was to take his name and use it for a greater purpose. Not because he had to, but because he could.
That's a super man if there ever was one.

And he did it all without even having to get his ass out of his chair!


D'oh! I'm a ba-a-a-a-d boy, too...

4 LMAO TS!

Actually, I didn't think he was that good an actor. There I said it. Actually, I thought him to be a better actor AFTER his accident and a fine human being before and after.

Okay, enough of what I think. Heh.

5 Yeah, agreed, Margi.
As an actor he was merely adequate.

But as an ex-actor person he was inspiring.

Sometimes there are real heroes lurking inside o' them fake heroes.

Heroes aren't meant to be admired, ferchrissakes; They're meant to be imtroduced.

6 Duced, even.

7 Typos galore, I give up! ;P

8 Aw hell, everybody. Don't fret.
The George who lives here is the REAL Superman, anyway.
My hand to God, his first and middle names are George Reeves. Reeves is his mom's maiden name.
And, yeeees, of course he uses "Supermen" followed by various numbers as his ID's.

Actually, when I saw that Chris had croaked, it hit me that I might reeeally wanna start watching the news, or reading the occasional newspaper every once in a while. siiiigh... The shit ya miss when all ya do is watch self-made tapes of Nick@Nite and "All in the Family", M*A*S*H and such.... Honestly.

I mean, I do that anyway, but nowdays, when I'm already sick past puking of this election shit and there is still a month to go, you'd be lucky to be able to FORCE me to watch regular TV. (If, of course, you consider bloody and bruised "lucky" which is what you'd wind up being if ya tried to make me pay attention to this shit...)

One thing I'd like to know... am I the only one on the entire planet who grasps the basic concept the every single politician is a lying sack of monkey shit, therefore it really makes no difference who says what before an election? No matter WHO "wins", we all lose because those bastards say what they have to to win, then do exactly as they goddamn please when they get in office.

So, why should I have to be bored to death and back by all this crappola every place I look*? Ew.

Hey man, I just got an idea.

I'm gonna start a write-in campaign to get Alfred E. Neuman elected. At least he LOOKS the part, ya know? (Much like the current asshat, I might add...)(Hey, are they twins? Seperated at birth, maybe? Suuure do look like it, they do...)

"Paging Mr. William Gaines... white courtesy phone..."

(*Actually, I do have this one tape of Nick@Nite that is totally "political". It has retro-mercials of political ads from YEARS ago (I Like Ike is one of the campaigns) and even has Jerry Springer admitting he paid for a hooker with a check and why that shouldn't stop him from being Mayor or Governor or whatever. All the shows on this tape, The Addams Family, Sonny & Cher... all of them, have a political bent to 'em, so I DO have exposure to this shit, it's just OLD shit. John Wayne and what's-his-name... Charleton Heston, maybe, shilling for politicos. How quaint. My favorite is the one with two men in a car, one Dem, one Republican. I think the Dem is driving and the other guy keeps telling him they need to get gas, they're gonna run out and the driver keeps saying, "No... we're fine", then they do, indeed, run out of gas. Then it goes into the whole "blame them and elect us" crock of horseshit, but talk about creative, entertaining and kinda less annoying... it is all that. Much cooler than the shit we have to sift through these days.)

Anyhoo, can someone wake me up in mid-Novem... no wait. Decem... nope, too cold. Okay, can someone wake me up next April, after this political shit and winter (both of which suck donkey balls) are over?
Thanks...
