Meanwhile...The forces of evil shudder at our stupidity as we discuss how to slice turkey with a lightsaber, if 616 is the Number of the Beast, why Wikipedia is stupid (except for Skottie's page),  how Badger: Bull made Sal cry, why you should buy The All-New Atom #18,  what t.v. shows we can't talk about because Tom"s not here, what shows are good to draw comics to, weird sleeping habits, prank calling Dan Buckley, Southland Tales, and Donnie Darko. Scribba-scrabble!
