Loading ...So last night I logged on just before bedtime. And there was Richard, making comment after comment on the Lois Lane post so as to hurl it back into the top 5 most commented. It was quite possibly the saddest thing I’ve ever seen on SP, and I’ve seen some pretty sad things around here.
So anyway, I made a couple of comments so that he wouldn’t be talking entirely to himself, and now Lois Lane is back where she belongs, in the most commented section, having beaten an aubergine to get there.
And what is your problem with aubergines? I don’t understand you anti-aubergine people. Aubergine is quite possibly one of my favorite vegetables. In fact, its so hardy and flavorful, it shouldn’t be a vegetable at all. It should be a meat. Give it some legs and some fur and some parents, you’ve got a whole meal. I make a kick-ass eggplant parmesan. Eggplant is also good grilled (like meat!) or fried (like meat!). It also makes a nice pate. (like meat!)
Eggplant, the meat of vegetables.
Maybe I should start making comments to get the aubergine back on the top five, except I really don’t want to be known as an aubergine necromancer.
Outside, the temperature has risen to the triple digits. Which of course means I don’t feel like doing a goddam thing besides sitting on my gravid ass eating ice-cream and fanning myself like Scarlet O’Hara.
But really, this heat has me down. Other stuff has me down too, but the heat just exacerbates the mood. So come on, time for you guys to start cheering me up.
Say something funny.
Buy me a beer!

Funny… uh… well… dammit I hate being put on the spot! I can never be funny when I need to be, only when I don\’t need to be. And usually when I\’m not at all trying. Sometimes, I don\’t even know what it was that was so damned funny that I said! Pathetic but true.
How about One time at band camp, I stuck a flute in my p*ssy!
OK, so I plagiarized that from a somewhat funny teen comedy, but it was the best line. I tell you I\’m no good under pressure!
Maybe I\’ll come back later.
So I repaired your italics, but I do want it recorded here that Mojo forgot to close his italics, and sent the entire site into a tail-spin, as has been done many times before, but usually by R the P. Now you are not alone, Richard.
(That said, I have to also admit that when I went to repair Mojo’s mistake, I made the exact SAME mistake and had to try three times before I got it right, so now we’ve all done it. We stand united in our dextrouslessness.)
Damn the heat, damn it all (I have to have SOME handy scapegoat!)
Well, I tried to make my posts related to Lois Lane. I added to the content of the post — I just did it in the comment sections.
By the way, in case you wondered what Lois and Lucifer did on their honeymoon . . .

And Lois has been necroramanced plenty of times.

You can’t keep dead Lois down!
And just to be obsessed, here is Lois from 1950, looking like a dark haired Katharine Hepburn.
Two obsessions in one.

So someone stumbled on to SP with the search string “Cliff Richard Happy birthday to you for free”. Imagine my surprise when I put that into google and we came up on the first page. Number 6, actually.
So, on their honeymoon they… uh…. hell froze over?
In that last pic she looks a lot like my grandmother did in the 40s.
I guess Hell did freeze over. Lois cried about it.
Cliff Richard Happy birthday to you for free!
Ironically, when I looked up Captain Marvel Jr on google, we didn’t come up at all, even though I’d made 3 posts about him.
I suppose since you can’t keep a dead Lois down, your job as superhero Necromancer must be an easy one.
I could see a little of the Katharine Hepburn in your grandmother.
In attitude if nothing else.
I like that picture of Lois. That was before she tumbled to the man hunting Lois of the late 50s and was still a newshound.

But her marriage hunting ways started soon after, as this cover from 1951 attests.

So why on earth would Lois and Lana freeze themselves out of spite? Did the writers know any actual women?
I’m so mad, I could just freeze myself!
The only people who have died in comics and pretty much stayed dead are Batman’s parents.
But even the way they died changed over the years.
First, they were both killed by a gunman.
Then, they thought it was too horrifying to kill a woman by a gunman, so Thomas got shot and Martha died of shock.
Then, they both were gunned down again.
They are the most dead of dead characters. All the others came back to life.
Even Bucky.
My granny was hot when she was young. Though really I saw her as more of a Joan Crawford than a Katherine Hepburn.
That is what makes the Lois Lane comics so fantastic.
They are completely absurd. It is enough to inspire feminist rage in even the most misogynist of men.
And I’m convinced none of the writers ever met a woman. Even once.
I could DEFINITELY see her as a Joan Crawford.
“Don’t FUCK with me, boys!”
Well I must away for a couple of hours. I didn’t really mean you were sad, though it looked awfully sad when I first logged on and saw all those comments… by you alone. It sort of struck me as poignant there for a moment. And you know me, I’m often struck dumb, but rarely struck poignant.
Have fun awaying.
And was a little sad. Just me and poor Lois.
Oh and I picked up the first 2 harry potter books at the library today. If I hate them, I’m blaming you and Mojo. And Bas.
If you hate them, we’ll take the blame.
And just read ‘em again ourselves!
Oh, and to be even more sad, here’s Lois’ first cover appearance from 1944

I’ll stop obsessing.
I will.
I will.
But how can I stop obsessing when I see ridiculous things like this?
Lois is crushing on . . .
Perry Como!
http://www.comics.org/coverview.lasso?id=8517&zoom=4
Perry Como?
Lois is a freak. She has some serious obsession issues AND she is clearly codependent and has a deep fear of being alone. She may also be a nympho which would explain a lot.
Perry Como indeed. Never hot, mates. He was NEVER hot. Hence my point about Lois being more than a little obsessive and possibly a nympho. Certainly, she is as mad as a hatter.
All these points support the initial hypothesis that none of these male writers had ever met a real woman in their entire lives.
I have to agree. Anyone who swoons over Perry Como is a freak.
But it doesn’t diminish my love.
At least you’re loyal, through the highs and lows, a fact to which I can personally attest.
Lois Lane, the only woman R the P has ever had the hots for.
Oh, and that girl Jodi that used to hang out with Apie-Kap.
Oh yeah… and the drunk prostitute.
By that description, Richard sound as though he puts himself about a bit!
favorited this one, brother
