A little crack with your coffee?

One of the advantages of effectively living with other fen (Te and I reside in different apartments in the same building, but more often than not we're in one space) is that it becomes possible to carry on a three-way telephone conversation without having to pay an additional tithe to the local telcom warlords for the privilege.

This happened over the weekend when paragrapher, also known as Te's schoolyard chum Jeff (and sometimes his brother Sean, but I digress), called, and Te let me field the actual phone-to-ear duty for the CT end of the conversation.

Amongst other topics, comics crack of course made an appearance... ( Product Placement: Trademark (Ab)Use in the DCU )

Also, from the 'adult' personals section at the back of a recent issue of our local alternative weekly newspaper:

VAMPIRELLA
Stylish, mature WM seeking
Vampirella-type Goth F's to
share similar interests.

Sure, buddy. Vampirella-esque, YET stylish *and MATURE*. I almost can't decide if this is a man who reads not enough comics, or who reads too many... except, it's got to be the latter, or he wouldn't know Vampirella from Pamela Anderson. Similar interests? Any Heavy Metal-reading "babes" out there want to answer this guy's ad?

It's like some kind of unofficial meme: "Look what I found on YouTube!"

Yep, it's my turn now. (And a good thing it *isn't* an unofficial meme, as unlikely as I am to do those.) Look what I found on YouTube, everybody!

( A time capsule from my childhood which explains MUCH about why I got into comics the way I did. )

( And because YouTube's search yields fascinatingly random dividends: 'initiation by blood and buggery'... )

BTW, if anybody is just beside themselves with the desire to see an actual episode of the 70s-crack!Tarzan, comment to that effect and I will see if I can't work out how to get my copy onto YouTube or something.
