Furry blitzkrieg?
Hundreds of thousands have fanned out to Belgium, Luxembourg, the Czech Republic and France. The news caught the ire of Britain’s Sun tabloid, which warned its readers that “Nazi raccoons” were “just across the Channel” and “on the warpath … in a furry blitzkrieg”.

“Gang members were nothing compared to these girls,” the teacher told Jones. “They believe they cannot be touched.” The girls were apparently just as ornery in their cheerleading activities, leading five coaches to quit in the last three years. The principal’s daughter flipped off one former coach. But instead of kicking the daughter off the squad, school administrators allowed her to quit so she could try out the following year.

Some years back, Dr. Andrey Geim succeeded in levitating a frog through magnetic fields. Briefly, we lived in a world of hovering frogs. The other day, it was revealed that a parallel line of research has achieved the levitation of other small creatures through ultrasound. From my perspective, that was a strange day. Yesterday, animals were floating on music you cannot hear.

In 2004, The Monarch & Dr. Girlfriend gave us their take on the Bowie/Crosby “Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy“, while 2005 brought the tender trio of The Monarch and Henchmen Nos. 21 & 24 belting out Dolly Parton’s “Hard Candy Christmas” while The Monarch was still incarcerated.

This year, Dr. Venture has pulled together family, friends, and enemies alike for a very special holiday single, sure to solve all the world’s problems – or at least that’s the idea.

Best SOLICIT TEXT – ONSLAUGHT REBORN #5 (of 5) Fifteen exclamation points, ladies and gentlemen. I have to stand up and applaud this one. From the solicit: This is it! The heroes have assembled!! And the greatest evil the universe has ever faced is ready to take them on!!! Who lives?!?! Who dies?!?!?! And what will be the final fate of Onslaught?!?!?!?! It’s like someone gave the copy editor a basket of pixie stix and you know what? I like it. Say what you want about Onslaught Reborn, but it’s a darn fine book for the hyperactive teen set (and those looking to regain those years once more). This solicit is one step away from 1337 speak and that’s a-OK with me. Honorable Mention for PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL #5, for promising “The ending of this issue will punch you in the face and laugh at your tears.” That’s a Punisher book to me.

I won’t describe the plot ’cause it doesn’t exist. I won’t make fun of the shittiness of the actors because it’d be like throwing a battery at a dying hobo. But I’ll warn you not to smoke too much pot before you watch it, or you’ll laugh yourself five new assholes.

In similar circumstances, others might have seen a doctor immediately. But Castro slept overnight on his predicament and woke to launch himself on a course that guaranteed his private horror would spiral into a humiliating public spectacle.

As last year (and every year from now on), December 5th is the Day of the Ninja. Plague your co-workers with ninja-ness and wear a ninja mask to work! Got the day off? Run wild in the streets, or dress like a ninja at the mall! Just show the world that YOU ARE NINJA!

The reason you feel the need to “Larry” something up? Because you are not that dumb. I mean you, Dan Whitney, the guy who’s name the bank account is under. You were born and raised in Nebraska (hardly The South), went to private school and moved to Florida when you were 16.
