and in fact, none at all for a majority of my life,
I have a confession to make.
Late at night, when the mood was right,
when I was all alone,
I would sometimes watch The Tick.
The sayings of The Tick amuses me even still.
"The night is young and we have umbrellas in our drinks."
"Yes, destiny has her hand on my back, and she's pushing."
"Eating kittens is just plain... plain wrong! And no-one should do it, ever!"
"And so, may Evil beware and may Good dress warmly and eat plenty of fresh vegetables."
"Gravity is a harsh mistress."
"Well, folks, there you have it. A day in the life of a superhero and his sidekick. It's a very long day, the tights are uncomfortable; I think we covered that before. Map light, convenient and essential. A lot of working of villain motifs. Crime has a Bossa Nova beat. Leap before you look. Remember denouement. Other French words: inconvenient, nonessential... oh... I could go on and on... But time's a-wasting and evil's out there making hand-crafted mischief for the swap meet of villainy. And you can't strike a good deal with evil. No matter how much you haggle. We don't need to look for a bargain; goodness is cheap because it's free, and free is as cheap as it gets. Cut. What was that pig about?"

But I thought I was your harsh mistress!!!!
Miss you XXX
Hey, I am back blogging.
i think i need to look up some tick!
'gravity is a harsh mistress' he sure got THAT right!!
Bwuahhahaa.. he sounds just like you! ;)
In a good way.. in a good way..
I love the Tick. Did you ever see the short-lived live action series? That was great as well.
Did you watch the live action TV show version of this, Logo? That was funny. I don't think The Tick was ready for prime time.
I wonder if I can work some of those into my everyday conversations.
A clever superhero is right up my alley. Men in tights? Not so much. ;)
Logo - I love your blog!!!! I am having such fun with your Madam Miss Susie in India - are you jealous? I will share her with you when you come!
I don´t know about gravity, sometimes I feel pushed down, rather than pulled. And that´s just mean!
Spoon!
Thanks - yes I will also loose weight - we are back to just eating a little bread and water after Susie's experience!
HAHAHA!! Those are great! :)

Minka~ It is mean! I know just waht you are talking about.
