Lately, and on more than one occasion, I have found myself in the middle of conversations in which otherwise-intelligent individuals discuss the fine points of Christian theology.

After watching the back and forth of the debates, I wondered why it sounded so familiar in tone. Finally, I realized... I'd had conversations of similar intensity over equally-weighty matters... in comic book stores.

The only difference between discussions of Christian doctrine and those of comic book continuity is that nobody has ever been burned at the stake over Infinite Crisis.

No matter how richly they deserved it.

God DAMN it, people, I KNOW there are two other responsible adults at home, at least ONE of whom has a phone as close to him as I do! I AM NOT YOUR BLIPPIN' SECRETARY! I have CALLER ID. If it's not for ME, I'm not gonna PICK UP.
