Vermont is right. And he is now the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

Ric, you might know him as the "screamer" who was shouting all the states that his campaign was going to win in the primary last year. The shouting episode turned off more than a few voters and he went from the party frontrunner to last place in a very short time. If he had just shut up, he may have been in the actual presidential election.

Well, it certainly isn't #2. "Bane" implies that we are overly concerned by his existence. I can't say as how we are.

Wasn't a big Ghost World fan, but I did like American Splendor and The Road to Perdition. Good stuff. And I don't see why they can't be mentioned here. The title is only "Comic book movies" not "Superhero comic book movies." Just gravitated that way.

I was quite the Gunsmith Cats fan back in the day. Good stuff. Not scifi at all. But definitely Manga and Anime considering it was a comic book/graphic novel and an animated short film. Female bounty hunters in Chicago. How can you go wrong?

We just use the double R to designate it for the most part. At least that was how my Spanish classes dealt with it (yea yea, I know, we're talking about Portuguese, not Spanish). Many English speakers have a boatload of trouble rolling their Rs. See the movie Spanglish for that scene. Quite entertaining.

Scouting has been there since I could remember (until high school started, that is). Sports were a passing fancy until that time as well. One year of baseball, two years of soccer, one year of basketball. I was terrible at all of them. Hell, I'm not even a particularly good spectator even now. Heh heh.

Well... ummm... shouldn't your column be related to the world of scifi? I guess I can see that politics could be incorporated if you were to tackle a topic like "Bush's Exit Strategy in Iraq is Sheer Science Fiction" but otherwise.

And the first lesson in that class...

There is no responsibility amongst professionals. Deal with it and move on.

I agree wholeheartedly. The more time he spends away, the worse it gets when he comes back.

And is it just me or does it sound like Chaltab just volunteered himself as Shimmy's translator? I think so.

My wife and I decided that, when we have kids, we will get them started in some kind of extracurricular activity. If they want to quit after a while and join another, that's fine. But they have to be involved in something. Scouts, sports, student government, whatever. So long as they're involved in something.

In the middle of a word, is it the rolling R sound that so many English speakers have trouble with (myself not included)?

More news on the super hero flick front...

Vinnie Jones (of Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels fame) may be Juggernaut in the next X-Men flick. Cool.

I would've been a smart ass and said, "this forum," but instead I'll be forthright and just say that I'm reading marketing books for my marketing management class as well as Jose Canseco's "Juiced."

Depends on the pronunciation of your name...

Ri-car-lay-ih-tay or Ri-car-light

Which one is it? Either way, though, he's got either one too many syllables or one too few.
