Betting on the old guy. I got ... $2.75.

I'm cringe enough without doing it on purpose. If I didn't try to be cool I'd be hopeless.

No, I just have a very firm policy against being lame intentionally.

I'm the ghost. You're the Bendolyne.

Benwell O'Reilly, I'm so, so disappointed in you.

"I have standards to consider! It sets a precedent!"

"I'll consider it."

"I've known noble people who couldn't carry a beat. Though they weren't Russian, so there's that. 1985, Live-Aid, vocal warm-ups that command a record-breaking crowd. Go!"

Alright, fine.

But it's also kinda lame to compare yourself to Freddie Mercury.

Bet you can't even sing.

i just wanted an excuse to post that panel 🫶

I mean okay, Queen was great. But let's not discredit Freddie Kreugar. Like okay he wasn't "decent" but you're telling me you didn't like watching Nightmare on Elm Street? Classic! And he likes knives and sharp things like you so it's also pretty fitting and--

Which Freddie are we going with here?

Listen I know it's all under the same brand these days but Star Wars is more your brand of nerdhood than mine.

i tried to do a carrd for my accounts and point them back at it but quote reposts don't natively link which was annoying so you had to do image then text for a pinned instead of text then image and it felt wrong

Wish I had Lego money.

i've been throwing a lil thought experiment at x-men fans this morning. anyone who wants it, dm me. i don't wanna throw it out publicly because i don't want anyone swaying answers. curious what people come up with without biases.

"Deal. First I need a band. Then we need songs. Then we need gigs. Then I can get you tickets. So once I'm done steps one through three I'll hook you up, buddy."

"I'd accept if it was just Peter-variants, but all of us Spider-people is mean!"

"Why is it a multiversal constant that us Spider-People have to be broke?"

"The first one. I would've already but I kinda need you to spot me the cash."

"Think if we paid enough we could get one of those food trucks to do a corn dog burrito?"

// i do software development. i'm well aware that the biggest bug in all software is the person using it. i assume that goes beyond just software usage, even into delivery driving :)

"Dude, every time I swing by there I start drooling, you can smell the spice a block away!"

So, naturally, she was eagerly chomping away at the burrito at this point.

I've played with a few different bands. Did a gig with Dazzler, Luna Snow and Lila Cheney not too long ago, actually.

And, I mean, if you're ever in Earth-65, the Mary Janes are pretty good. We opened for ... well Dazzler there, too.

No trouble at all. She grabbed it and began unwrapping it immediately.

"I bet you say that to all the dimensionally displaced arachnids," she said through her first big bite of the burrito. "Oh my god, where did this come from? That place on 3rd?"

Uh ... I was trying to act cool so I fiddled with my watch. It's old and definitely don't look closely at it because it's not cool at all and defeats the entire purpose of trying to look and act cool for someone.
