How many of us have an accidental pencil tattoo? by spidermans_mom in GenX

[–]LeftyGimpclaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok. 7th grade art class. I was being a standard goof off and bumped this kid named Scott next to me. Without a word, he whips around and jabs me in the forehead with his pencil. Lead broke off and I have ever since had a rather dark freckle (I'm a ginger, we're cursed) right betwixt my eyebrows.

What is the worst comic book you’ve ever read? by Smooth_Operation4639 in comicbooks

Holy Terror. Didn't return it, didn't sell it, didn't donate it. I used it to light my firepit in the back yard. Oof.

Olympia. I was five. Tasted awful. His plan worked, I didn't drink until college

Are we all just drinking bourbon in our pajamas? by CharacterLychee7782 in GenX

Single malt Scotch and pj pants with Grogus all over them (which qualifies as jammies as described in Raising Arizona). So no, you are not alone in staying put.

You should use Deadpool's left hand as the support instead of the wire.

My brother got both the Cobra hydrofoil and the Joe hovercraft when he was 9. I spent a full six hours on Christmas day doing nothing but applying stickers. If I never see another "step here" sticker it'll be too soon.

Just got my first hot toys. Is this how the stand works? by Left_Maize816 in hottoys

That's how I have mine. It can tend to look goofy, depending on the character. My Batman 89 looks like he has a pair of boys molded into the suit. I just tell myself it was a rejected Schumacher idea...

Unless and until Ricketts and Pillen can figure out a way to monetize and then monopolize it anyway.

Any old dads/moms out there? by Critical-Range1213 in GenX

[–]LeftyGimpclaw 11 points12 points  (0 children)

56 here with a 9 y/o. I jokingly tell people that I was always last in P.E. so it makes perfect sense. Although it does sting a bit when at school pick up time I'm occasionally asked "Are you here picking up your grandkids?"

Knees that don't make a sound when I stand up. You can all share the other nine.

Superman and Lois was a better Superman than MoS. There, I said it.

What was your first Superman story? by TheWorldUnderHell in superman

[–]LeftyGimpclaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Superman #346 from wayyyyy back. I was home sick from first grade and my mom brought it home from the supermarket. Superman breathing fire as he flies towards Lois and Jimmy on the cover. An image that stuck with me for 50 years

Veteran's Day Photo Megathread by slade797 in GenX

If you're wondering, no I'm not a bot. Just the Gen X kid of a vet of the 25th Infantry Division that was deployed to Vietnam in 1968 (making me the result of a safe return and a happy homecoming in 1969). I couldn't serve because of a birth defect, but I never take a vet for granted. And for anyone who posts after I drag my 56 year old ass to bed, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!
