No offense taken. When you're pontificating on the varying merits of Machine Man's powers, and detailing ways to take down a guy named Speedball, it's kinda hard not to sound like a dork. But so long as I'm an epic dork, I'm happy.🤓
Yeah ... Digi sounded AWESOME in his write up speech ... if he were to walk down the street blasting that file out of some portable speakers chicks would be falling at his feet.

*I really really hope he tries that*
Sooo ... how exactly did you record that? Just use realplayer or something?

Damn, I'm glad I'm not judging this week. People brought their A games out the gate.
Well, Blair\Smurph vs Leo\Scoobs= KMC classico...
And my preparation for that week included torturing my brain by reading comics with Rocket Red in it... as a person from ex-USSR country, I can assure you that we don't mention Lenin in every third sentence.
God bless my idea of not taking Vanguard. My brain can take only that much stereotypical bullshit about Russians and other ex-USSR countries.
Though Birds of Prey touched the exUSSR topic brilliantly- no fictional "bears, cranberry, vodka and balalaikas" BS, but non-fictional big oil money in Azerbaijan.
Yeah, I know exactly how you feel Charlotte. Being a brotha in the U.S. and having a majority of the depictions of my people being some cartoonish caricature that is either excessively thugged out or excessively ghetto can be a bit much. I've had people at work ask me the definitions of slang terms every other month (most recently what "hyphy" means), and at one point I was even asked whether or not black people eat quiche (I guess assuming our diets consist of chicken, pork, cornbread, malt liquor, Kool Aid, and Newports).
The always receiving high fives, dap, fist bumps, etc rather than a normal hand shake wears thin also...

I've already told you at Yahoo discussion how I hate, in particular, that American writers can't get the simple culrtural thing. Paternal name, while serving as middle name, isn't random but is formed from the name of person's father.
That's why the characters like Ursa Major (Michael Urlockovich Ursus) sound weird to a Russian speaking person... the father of poor guy was apparently called Urlock Ursus (thank god for it not being Morlock)- what kind of name it is?
I've heard of Indian community of comics fans being pissed at Claremont for giving Indian characters Scottish or Irish surnames... well, it's more possible for an Indian person to have a father with Scottish roots than for Belarusian girl being called Laynia Petrovna (no surname, only paternal name, and f*cked up one- her legal father was called Nickolas, as well as non-existant first name, though sounding close to real ones like Lana (which is one of shortened versions of my name, Svetlana) or Layma (though that one more Latvian one than Belarusian).
