Why I'm a Dork


How cool does THIS look?!?!

CIVIL WAR #1

Written by Mark Millar, pencils and wraparound cover by Steve McNiven, variant cover by Michael Turner.

The landscape of the Marvel U is changing and it's time to decide: whose side are you on? A conflict has been brewing in the Marvel Universe for over a year, threatening to pit friend against friend, brother against brother--and all it will take is a single misstep to cost thousands their lives and ignite the fuse! As the war claims its first victims, no one is safe as teams, friendships, and families begin to fall apart. Civil War, a Marvel Comics event in seven parts, stars Spider-Man, the New Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men and the entirety of the Marvel pantheon! Civil War -- the cross-over that rewrites the rules -- begins here in this double-sized first issue!

48 pages, $3.99, in stores on May 3.

I can't wait for May 3rd.

It's the most wonderful time of the year...


Pitchers & Catcher report today.

The darkness is lifting, and my life has meaning again.

Go Yankees!

Why Jewish Food Scares Me


The stuff on the left, I like. Who can argue with a bottle of Vodka frozen inside a block of ice. The stuff on the right...not so much. That's Schmaltz.

Here's the definition from Wikipedia:

Schmaltz is rendered chicken or goose fat used for frying or spreading on bread. If rendered from a kosher slaughtered chicken or goose, it is kosher and hence particularly popular in Jewish cuisine.
It is gross.

(I added that last part).

How I Spent My Sunday

I love being a home owner. Shoveling is the coolest!
