“Hey hey hey, that kid's okay. He's just another sucker with bills to pay. Money only matters when you work all day. You're gonna spend it on the weekend anyway!”
LOL!!! My dad would say the same thing trying to get me to eat greens as a child. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
I tell my dad I'm fixin myself a sammich and he says "Good. It'll put hair on your chest." Apparently, my dad wants me to fear that anything I will consume will put hair on my chest...hmmm. :-P - Mattie Kenny

Maybe dad just means that Robin Williams will snuggle up next to you. - Ontario Emperor

Sadly predictable: Wolverine, followed by Cable. Way more into DC as an adult, was a Marvel person as a kid. - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
Wolverine. Cause he's kick ass and kinda hot. - Derrick
Jeez, I got answers pretty darn quick! I always loved Rogue and Gambit. I grew up on the cartoons then graduated to the comics as I got older. - Mattie Kenny
You know, I forgot about Rogue. Comic book Rogue, not movie Rogue. I wouldn't want to be her, but flight + super strength + invulnerability = hurt machine! - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)
I just realized Jamie Maddox (Multiple Man) could be the perfect SO. He would never have to miss ANY important event. Gotta go save the world? He'll just divide into two people, and one of him can go to your family's Xmas dinner. Lotsa benefits could apply. Don't remember anything about his personality, though. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)
That poster is brilliant! I prefer the original team, & in the original team, the blushing, bombastic Beast is my fave. But of all the X-Men, Nightcrawler is my favorite. BAMF! - joshua m. neff
“Does anyone read/know of Comics I Don't Understand? (http://www.comicsidontundersta...) I swear, the writer sometimes seems like an idiot. Most of the time, it's very straightforward and simple jokes that either are funny or not and by explaining them you completely ruin them. ARGH!”
I think s4 of LOST is quite possibly some of the best writing in TV. I admit to being caught in the moments of that season. - Anika Malone
Yea. Locke's basically turned into Ben and is treating his half of the survivors like they've become a new The Others. - Mattie Kenny
I like S1 the best. I disliked Jack then, but I dislike him even more now. I'm also bummed about Locke, he was my fave character in S1. Thank GOSH they got rid of Michael. - Mattie Kenny
Oh, I can't stand Jack, but that's mostly because I can't stand Matthew Fox. But yes, my not-so-secret hope over the past year (I only started watching LOST in Oct. '07) was that Jack get kidnapped or blown up. Preferably the latter and that he takes smirk-face Juliet with him. - Anika Malone
Lost was always good. From about halfway through S3 it just exploded into awesomeness. - Dan Liebke
S2 was total balls through most of it, tho. I kind of like Juliet when we see her flashbacks, but present Juliet is smug and annoying. - Mattie Kenny
Season 5 starts on Jan. 21st. Sucks we only get half a year. - Anika Malone
Who is your favorite character? I like Sayid. So cool they made him a former member of the Republican guard. - Chris White
I'm pretty sure we're still getting a full season of eps. Or at least, that's what I though. Locke, Sayid and Charlie were my faves in the beginning. Now I can't stand Locke. I miss Charlie. They totally wasted that character. I absolutely adore Hurley and I still love Sayid. - Mattie Kenny
This season is supposed to have 13 or 14 eps. I miss the days of 26 - 29 ep seasons. And we have similar taste in characters though Sayid is in my whatever column unless he's kicking ass and taking names. Most of that is because I keep thinking of Mustafa in the Austin Power movies, since Sayid explains things like he did. - Anika Malone
It's the network's fault. JJ Abrams said he wanted six seasons, but the network said 7. So they're trying to keep the story for 7 seasons without messing it up too much. Or at least, that's what I think. I hate that everyone is so weirdly secretive and untrusting. If I were stranded on an island with people attacking my group, you better believe everyone would know ANY intelligence I come by. - Mattie Kenny

“If a hurricane doesn't leave you dead, it will make you strong. Don't try to explain it. Just nod your head. Breathe in, breathe out. Move on. And it rained. It was nothing really new. And it poured. The earth began to strain. Pontchartrain leaking through the door, tides at war.”
Only if he's wearing plaid shorts, black socks and sandals while shopping with you at the mall... - Mark VandenBerg
Mine does too...ridicules my out-there thoughts and dissects everything I say. But he always comes thru when I put that passionate thought into practice - and my mom says he circulates the long fiery emails I write to him to his friends - anonymously. I suspect your dad might feel the same way too. - Kamath ॐ
Sigh. I think often our parents (or other people close to us) can do that to us without meaning to, because we're so conditioned to their responses. That said, {{{{{{ Mattie }}}}}} Passion ftw - you keep it up, okay? - Ladybug Heather
Never second guess yourself when it comes to genuine passion; however, be wise about it - know your facts and understand the power of it well. Passion is a really fabulous personal trait which can be used to fuel a war or inspire a masterpiece. Passion fuels my day, brings me closer to people and the causes I support / oppose. Don't shun it, mature it!! :)) **** HUG *** (Also, do NOT be intimidated by people, even your parents... learn that they are human too, just like you - opinions abound!) - Susan Beebe
i'm actually guilty of doing this to Lindsay sometimes. it's never to try to make her feel dumb, though that's the way it comes out. i shouldn't play devil's advocate so much. - Tad, better than boredom
With great passion comes the possibility of great failure. Parents want to spare their children the pain that comes from failure, so lessening the passion will lessen then failure which will lessen the pain. Or so I would guess, I don't know your dad. - Derek Coward
My grandparents (who raised me) were much the same. I think there is a generation who associates passion with immaturity and danger. You are supposed to have a certain distance from life and everyone around you, apparently, and not keeping that distance will receive disdain. - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
+++ Derek, that's a very good point. Our parents will always fear for us (worry about us, maybe?), and try to spare us hurt. - Ladybug Heather
Seth Godin talks about this specifically in Tribes... don't listen... it's actually a sign you are doing the right things... :) - Ben Hedrington
My dad did the same thing. Don't let him get to you. - Helen Sventitsky
I dunno if that was necessary, Tad... - Mattie Kenny
Sorry Mattie :) I have an aversion to all things dill and/or pickles... but carry on! - Tad, better than boredom
ok...now that we've dealt with Mr. Tad "Dillweed" Donaghe, is this the type of recipe you're talking about? http://www.recipezaar.com/Poli... i've never thought to shred pickles, let alone put them in a soup... - Trent Olson
Yep! That's exactly what I'll be making. Dill Pickle Soup is my favorite other than Beet Soup. I'm Polish btw. - Mattie Kenny
Uhm....why does this sound really good? Odd....but also tasty. - ♫ Rahsheen™
Rah - It's freaking delicious! It definitely tastes of dill pickle, but the flavor isn't overpowering. I like my veggie soups. - Mattie Kenny
i think i'll have to give it a try...being vegetarian, i'll use veggie stock instead of chicken, but i'm sure it'll turn out the same...and borscht is one of my other favorites, so i'm definitely down with the polish soup scene! - Trent Olson
I use veggie stock, too. (Veggie too) OMG! You know it's called borscht! That makes me so happy. - Mattie Kenny
who doesn't know it's called borscht? do you make it with white beans, or no? i forget which is the polish way... - Trent Olson
No white beans. Most people have no idea what I'm talking about when I say borscht, so I say beet soup. Which usually makes them gag. I guess Poles just realize wasting food is stupid. Cabbage, beets, pickles, it all can be used. I love cabbage soup, as well. - Mattie Kenny
Borscht rocks the soup-o-sphere - fell in love with the real deal in Ukraine one summer. - Micah Wittman
