  1. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Is this a Brit phrase? The intent is clear, but I've never encountered it; the closest I've heard (with clearly the same meaning) in the US is 'swing my dick around'. This story does so much for my vocabulary.

  2. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    I'm relatively sure that the proper term is 'sight line'. Normally, in this story, I ask myself if this is a 'divided by a common language' kind of thing, but this is Artimis narrating. I'm wondering if Boss Smiley got residuals on the sale of his portraits in the '60s.

  3. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Scott's 'optic beams' are force projections, not heat/laser. At least usually, I'm not all that familiar with this version of the Marvel Universe's source. Could be different here, if so, never mind.

  4. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    I was all the way to the end, trying to figure out which Henry Marvel Paul was speaking with... McCoy, Gyrich, others... Didn't realize it was Hank Pym until he started talking about He and Janet joining the Avengers. I can never remember that Hank is a Henry diminutive.

  5. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    He's not all that British. He hasn't fieldstripped everything of value in every place he's been down to the bedrock and shipped it to the British Museum... By the standards established by the Empire, he's a damned colonial.

  6. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Nonsense. He clearly wears Groucho glasses.

  7. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    And he sits quietly in a small room, getting involved in nothing. Also, all of his desires have been met by his small room and quiet.

  8. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Ah, good old Htrae. I don't recall any time that Myxie had a hand in its creation, but I guess you can't blame everything on Bizzaro.

  9. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Future home of Triplicate girl. Is this a universe that uses the Valor nonsense, or is it a nice, semi-sane Mon-El universe? The 'disappearing planet' had me thinking Marzal, home of the most intentionally racist Legionnaire, Tyroc, but the names don't come close. What are Krilt's origins?

  10. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Okay, important question: Did Paul play enough Doom to still remember how to invoke God Mode?

    Knowing nothing of Sailor Moon beyond what I found on youtube last night (Team 4Star's Sailor Moon Abridged), I have to say I agree with Team 4Star: Fuck Jadeite.

  12. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    Thank you. I first read Dune in '83-84-ish, and had heard all the hype. I came away asking myself what kind of drugs Herbert was on, because the story was meh and the characters were insufferable. I rarely come across anyone whose opinion aligns with mine

    You're being a bit hard on Lex; he's done a lot of dumb things, but he's never built a penis-shaped rocket.

  14. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    You build for the area. They are relatively common throughout southern California (and presumably the other hot, dry summer states), but particularly in California, where quakes are a common occurrence. Where brick homes (and brick-sided) homes can and do shatter during midsized quakes, I...

  15. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    I had to look that up; I had never heard the term 'wattle and daub'. Yeah, I grew up in a Stucco house, though not in the original style of construction. The addition of wire mesh to strengthen the construction, and wood framing for interior walls were post-WWII innovations because, as Zoat...
