…that the vat that the Joker dived into must have been full of it.
No amount of “enhancement” is worth Joker face.
Then again considering this story I’m shocked the ads are still running.

…solid mini Series Sgt. Rock The lost Battalion you are missing something special, reviews not withstanding. He has managed to sneak in almost every DC war comic from Johnny Cloud to the Blitzkrieg crowd into the story.
It’s a fine use of $3.
Dynasty League Draft (Liveblog)
Posted: March 14, 2009 by datechguy in baseball, gaming, hobbies, Sable BaseballTags: sports
Our Draft has begun We had 30 man rosters, you are allowed to keep players based on your finish the previous year. You can sign players for a max of 3 years after which they must re-enter the draft. Remember when people are picking different teams have different needs. A Team had the option to release a 1st round pick to retain 2 players and 1 player if you forfeit a 2nd or 3rd round pick. This is a new rule.
Round #1 Picks
1…Mets Joe Mauer (Minn) C (pick acquired from Traded from Toronto)
2…Florida Bernard Span (Minn) RF
3…Boston Ray Halladay (Tor) RHP starter
4…Mets Matt Holliday (Col) LF
5…KC I-Rod (NYY) C (I wouldn’t have thought he would have gone so high this season)
6…SD C.C. Sabathica (Mil) LHP
7…NYY Scotty Baker (Minn) RHP
8…Tor Jose Reyes (Mets) SS
I think the new draft rule really messes this up
——————————————-

James Hudnall writes a tribute to the Comic Books series The Watchmen at Big Hollywood:
“Watchmen” opens Friday and we’ll see how well it performs in the theaters, but the graphic novel has been a best seller for DC Comics since its inception in 1985. And not without surprise. It’s been voted the best graphic novel of all time by many people. It even showed up in Time Magazine as one of the best literary novels of the 20th century. The only comic to make that list. Personally, I don’t care much for lists or other popularity contests. They seem too high school to me. A lot of stuff on “best ever” lists tends to be crap. It’s all someone’s opinion, after all. But “Watchmen” is definitely a work of art. One that will stand the test of time and already has.
Count me in the minority here. I’ve been reading comics for 34 years. I didn’t care for the Watchmen when it came out and I don’t care for it now.
I have absolutely no interest in the movie. As for Alan Moore’s work I’d check out his Swamp Thing Issues instead.
Give me Stan Sakai , Steve Englehart and Gardner Fox or Denny O’Neil anyday.
And the Greatest Comic Series ever Written? Lone Wolf and Cub hands down!
