Poor Eddie.  I can say that went about as I expected,  Veronica showed some compassion I thought though and let him down easy. 

Joe did not embarrass himself as I thought he would. Plus now he's totally gonna bone Tina. 

At first we had Veronica responding to Ryan's comment with "As if!" However, it seems a lot of people strongly associate that particular valley girl speak with the mid-nineties due to the movie Clueless, so we thought it'd be better to go with the more '80s "I'm so sure!"

"As if" does relate more to the 90's.  While many catch phrases and slang are more generational than culture driven I can see how it may be tough to keep that "correct".

So I read something I've been waiting to hear for awhile.  Rambo 5 will be out in 2016!  Titled Rambo: Last Blood.

Sounds like a hoax if I'm honest..

That would be sad.

I know a couple years ago, Stallone was talking about making a Rambo movie where Rambo would have to help take out some kind of alien creature on the loose, Predator style. But a lot of fans rightfully pointed out how weird that would be to suddenly toss sci-fi elements into the Rambo franchise, so I think they dropped it.

I remember talking with you on that idea.  I'm very happy that idea got scrapped.  From what I read it will be something to do with Mexican drug cartels.  This makes total sense because at the end of the last movie he went home to Arizona.

I also should say that I think Rambo will die in this film.  I'm guessing he makes amends with the USA and goes to war with the cartels and dies for his country at the end.  In First Blood the original script had him committing suicide (they even filmed it and released it as a bonus).  So I think they can bring that story full circle with that route.   

Another Rocky movie seems odd to me. I thought the last one served as a good send off to the series.

Yeah I still haven't seen the last Rocky film.  I've always meant to watch it and never got around to it.  I'm sure I'll get to it someday.  Maybe when this next one comes out on DVD I'll do a marathon.

I forgot about this band.  Actually I'm not sure if I've ever heard any of their other stuff.  New wave is always interesting at first I never think I like it but by the end of the track I'm always tapping my foot and singing along.

So I read something I've been waiting to hear for awhile.  Rambo 5 will be out in 2016!  Titled Rambo: Last Blood. Now I can say I'm a big Rambo fan, and I really enjoyed the last movie and was a little mad at myself for not seeing it in theaters.  This one has some promise to be just as good.  I can't wait to see an that old geezer shooting more bad guys. 

Also Stallone has announced the last installment of the Rocky series.  Rocky may have started in the 70's but 2 of the sequels landed in the 80's and with 1 in '79 and one and '90 they are drenched in 80's style.  I've never been a huge Rocky fan but they are cool movies.

Yes! I've been un-patently waiting.   

So that fight seemed to go as we all predicted.   Glad Eddie only got wet not burned.   

Dean is a bit over the top at the end talking about more blow.  I like it.

Yeah like I said intolerance   is prevelent in the Christian world, many believe that they're  religion   is so perfect that anyone proclaiming  anything different  is a threat to them when in reality  its just someone believing something  else.   If many Christians  practice  the actual  teachings of Jesus  instead  of  dwelling on social issiues that were mentioned  less than 3 times in all scripture they'd be much happier

Fun production fact:

When I was sketching this page, I felt like the panel where Dean throws the pig was coming along a little awkwardly. I ended up recording a reference video of Adam repeatedly tossing a big Hello Kitty doll onto an elevated upside-down laundry basket.

This little artist tid-bit is pure gold.

Yeah unfortunately religious freedom was setup because of religious intolerance and that intolerance has been passed down generation to generation.   The satanists make great points and I'm all for their display even as a christian, but they will face intolerance at every turn.

Well we've talked about similar things in the past but now in good ol' Michigan there will be a Satanic display at our state capitol for the Christmas season.  I find it hilarious that because of a rule that the display must be taken down at night there will be no christian nativity display this year. 

Anyway here is the article for those of you who want to read the local news stirring the pot on the issue.

Holy shit! Eddie is the man right now. 

I think that is the fastest I've read a page so far. I'm gonna have to go back and let all the details soak in.

Yeah! Good thing I read this just before lunch. I'm just going to sit there and let this sink in. I hope his six months of karate lessons make a difference..

Well I'm guessing his six months won't help a bit, but much respect for standing up for himself.  I'm guessing that will win points with Veronica.

Okay so I'm bored at work and I went through and watched several of her video's now.  She's pretty awesome.  She has done some great covers. I'm sure I've heard her version of "Then He Kissed Me" before I guess I just didn't realize it was her.
