"My Dad always pronounced Ooola as "Oo-ola", like "you cola" without the "y" or the "c". I've no idea where he got that from, I just accepted it because it was the sort of thing that he would know.
On a similar note, his father pronounced "Joe…"

"RIP Benjamin Satterley Satterley, known as "PAC" in AEW and "Neville" in WWE was forty years old. Cause of death is unknown. I'm not an AEW mark, but I know that he wrestled at one of their events a little over 24 hours ago, and in the clips I've…"
"I like trying to figure out how things would work on the Bizarro World, like "Do burglars break in and leave stuff?", or "If us must do opposite of stupid Earth people, does that mean us must elect competent leaders who work for good of voters?""

He basically told the truth: that Jason Todd was killed overseas by the Joker while seaching for his birth mother.

"As of the aftermath of Jason Todd's death Joker falls awfully short of telling Batman outright that he has guesses his secret identity and does not care. I think that is still true.
Two points about this. When Jason was killed, did Bruce have to…"
HI, I think I have unboxed you but...I am coming to the end of my `INVADERS` thread and would like to do a similar issue-by-issue critique of the Avengers - but not wanting to step on your "Baron 're-reads" early Avengers thread - I was thinking of beginning from #150 -? Would that be okay with you?
Hi Mr Baron sir,
I was wondering - I have just about 'caught-up' with my 'INVADERS' thread - going issue by issue through their history - and I'm scrambling looking for another series with which to critique in the same vein.
I am very aware of your 're-reads' and the recent 'Avengers' issues you've covered.
Unless you have any great desire to do so yourself or any objection at all -- I would like to take up the Avengers as a series from about #150 onwards...?
I reckon by then the earliest stuff - Kaps Kooky Quartet - Vision - Squadron supreme - KreeSkrull war - Avengers-Defenders war - even the Celestial madonna stuff is all over and the team and the title kind of entered a new phase that I'd love to pick up from.
If you DID intend on covering those issues etc I would of course quite happily go find some other series to wax lyrical about.
I do think the 'early Avengers' and this later phase could even run alongside quite easily as threads?
I don't mind. I usually tell people it's proncounced marconnay. When explaining it to people I tell them it's mark an A, like when you tell your teacher to "Mark an A on your test"

Anyway, how would you feel?
Please be candid.

Gah! So much Tartan!
Anyway, this time-wasting web page mentions two of your favourite things, so I thought I'd share.
