Oh, I see it was one of those weekends again. You know, the ones where you all collectively lose your minds? No, no, don't let that discourage you from indulging in these . . . episodes. They make for a really useful set of data points. Very informative.
And when I say informative, I mean funny.
Jim's magazine must not have been enough to keep him from being bored, since he had to resort to bickering with Jackson and his unwanted germs. Yes, pathogens are funny, if you're capable of grasping that level of humor. You'll probably just have to take my word for it, unless you're distracted by more trivial concerns. Speaking of being distracted by trivia, Alec had that problem thanks to the fourth floor common room TV and his new ability to answer the questions long before the contestants on the show did. Impressive. By your standards, not mine. The fifth floor TV didn't get that kind of attention from Mercy earlier in the day, since she was too busy online, looking for ways to add to the pile of shopping loot she was already going through. Too bad that loot didn't include the electrical tape Dave wanted to seal off the rubber gloves he had on, so he wouldn't shoot lightning from his hands.
Oh. That's a shame. Electricity has some fascinating effects. It could have done interesting things to the food she ordered, but no, she had to go and get electrical tape. So much for science.
You know what was definitely funny? Anakin Skywalker tapdancing in the streets, and telling Jaye on film that he couldn't stop when he had good choreography to work with. Sparkle burning things at Demon Marcus just because he could -- not as funny, but I approve of that motivation.
. . . why did no one get pictures of Coulson in khakis and relaxing at Wellspring Arms? What kind of journalist rodents are you?
Tony didn't have any powers. Oh. That's sad. [sad trombone soundbite] Apparently Jarvis thought so too, since he offered to play sad music for him at Stark Industries. I like the way you think, Jarvis. As much as it pains me -- physically -- to admit this, I approve of Jessica's compulsive need to know how everything at J,GoB was made and what it was made of. Victor's unending appetite might have helped him pick a pastry to recommend to Jessica and, therefore, keep her from pestering the clerk any more. Olive thought Jessica was taking too long, but relative to the speed Olive was functioning at, everyone was taking too long. Take that, and multiply it by five -- [speeded up garble] and that's a scaled-down model of what it's like to be me.
The DJ at the Devil's Nest was playing Christmas music until Jaina threatened him with the exact words she used in last week's threats. I really should come up with some tests that involve Christmas music, since it inspires extreme reactions. Eric was working on his laptop . . . that was smoking, which isanightmare isn't supposed to happen. Thank you for pointing that out, Jaina. Sometimes the painfully obvious just needs to be stated. On the other hand, sometimes the things that need to be stated are the ones with the most statistically improbable chance of being necessary, such as Spider-Woman giving Tyrion tips on how to use her powers. Like heavy machinery, it shouldn't be operated while drinking, but the swinging is the fun part, according to her.
See? I told you it was funny. And I actually wasn't lying about it being informative, either. I've got some interesting new ideas now.
. . . have a nice day.
