Randomly,

[buggery]

One of the medications I take regularly is a wonderful chronic-pain-management drug called tramadol, brand name Ultram. (For those interested, it's not an NSAID like ibuprofen, carries no risk of possibly fatal side effects like drugs in the Vioxx family, and is completely non-addictive and not even habit-forming -- if you have chronic pain issues, ask your doctor. I cannot stress this enough.)

Anyway, Te just noticed the time, and that I was due to take my next dose. But what she offered me was "some Ultraman."

Probably for the best that I insisted on the pill...

Not just the comics, which would be fabulous, but the TV series-- sort of, Buck Rogers-ish, but contemporary. And there'd be long, epic arcs over whether a particular drug has turned evil, and occasional guest appearances from the Obi-Wan Kenobi-like Aspirin, who I see as someone mystical, ancient, wise and kickass-- sort of Tibet-by-way-of Mars, More j'onn Jonzz than Yoda.

And oh! the terrible, angsty romances between contraindicated drugs!
