Image hiked from this impassioned defence of Matter Eater Lad. Oh, and some embarrassing screencap of Jonah.

Forgive the rushed Photoshopping, I'm still blaming the graphics card for everything.

It's OK, I just spent 3 days trying to figure out which pictures to post from Sunday.

Luckily, I wasn't under a dead line.

Works for me too. The graphics card got completely rat-arsed at the pub, came home late, and fell in the dishwasher.

herr doktor bimler said...

Is it my imagination, but haven't you referenced "Matter-Eater Boy" in the past?
Given my dubious diet, I'm automatically on his side.

HMDK said...

Very off topic, but I saw your comments in the whiskeyfire thread about the recent blog-slapfight about "liberal circular firing squads", and while the concept itself is worthy of discussion, I gotta ask, man: Do you seriously consider either Althouse or Sullivan liberals? I guess they are, at times, according to how the polls go or how much it pays. But in the end they're worthless shits.
I dunno if you'll accuse me of engaging in the same circular shooting, but in my opinion some people really do deserve to be metaphoricaly "shot".

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Ann Althouse is perfectly bi-partisan, as has been documented at 3Bulls.

Substance McGravitas said...

Do you seriously consider either Althouse or Sullivan liberals?

Not at all. Just makin' a joke.

Substance McGravitas said...

Adding that I dunno what a "liberal" is the first place, but Matter Eater Lad could eat 'em fer sure.

Substance McGravitas said...

I think so, maybe elsewhere. A list of lamest super-heroes figures in my memory, no doubt an important thing to keep in there.

fish said...

I am so going to buy the glitter cape.

Capcha thinks I'm a trantie.

mikey said...

I'm just wondering if the galaxy would implode into a singularity if Matter Eater ate his Odor Eaters, which of course are comprised of Matter, complete with Higgs field and everything. And if he did, and it didn't, where would the odor go?

Capcha has a magic necklace to help him with sexual satisfaction - he calls it his amulo

mikey said...

Also. For those North Americans who might be watching the baseball playoffs on TBS, have you seen the commercial with the talking pothole that gave the porsche a flat tire?

'Cause the way that pothole talks is identical to every woman I've ever fallen passionately in love with, including the one I accidentally married that time in tahoe...

I've just finished reading "Mates and Lovers: a Gay history of NZ" so I'm noticing 'stuff'. Matter Eater lad has a big package. Is this connected with eating ray guns and such? And why, in his little introduction to the JLA, does he say that microbes poisoned our food? What a fabricated smear! Microbes are our friends, except when they kill us and even then there is no malice intended.

Substance McGravitas said...

Captain Marvel has the original superhero package.

B^4 said...

No way would Jonah eat a hat with that many vegetables!

Substance McGravitas said...

Is Bouncing Boy obviouser???

fish said...

What's the matter eater lad?

I'm just not hungry today.

herr doktor bimler said...

Bouncing Boy needs the face mullet.

Rusty Shackleblart said...

Damn B^4 for thinking of what I wanted to think of before I did, and then posting it before I could.

I need new glasess

HMDK said...

Ahhh... cool.
I was taken in by meta-concerntrollin'-fakeposting, then. Which is nice. If you love things like 4chan and other juvenile shit, I guess.

Substance McGravitas said...

Jokes you don't get = juvenilia. An easy formula.

HMDK said...

yeah, yeah, I know.
I should spend my time getting to know all the in-jokes and idiosyncracies of the personal blogs of all commenters on leftist american political blogs before I dare ask a question about a fakepost.
Hmmm... Indeed.
Or maybe, as an outsider/non-american with an, admittedly, strange obsession with american politics, I just asked, you know, a fucking question. Chill, man. I like you. But if people have to get some kind of convoluted joke by following three links and gargling ballsweat, it isn't so much a joke, but an obstacle course.

Substance McGravitas said...

Please do not eat Irish children.

mikey said...

Unless they're all out of the darker, richer Indonesian children at Raleys...

herr doktor bimler said...

In-jokes? Here? Why was I not apprised of this?

fish said...

You mean he wasn't serious? There goes half my cookbook.

Another Kiwi said...

Always with the cooking of the Irish children. Frankly, I think it is an unhealthy fixation.

Substance McGravitas said...

Raw foodies walk a dangerous path.

What happens when Matter-Eater Lad has to take a dump? What does he excrete? Concrete? Lava? Ice cream?

Substance McGravitas said...

Superheroes just don't do that. It's in the rule book.

B^4 said...

What happens when Matter-Eater Lad has to take a dump? What does he excrete? Concrete? Lava? Ice cream?

Matter

It's a POOP Ouroboros.

J Neo Marvin said...

POOP Ouroboros

When I do my 40-minute one-song instrumental prog-rock instrumental album in the style of Tubular Bells,, that will be the title, I promise.

J Neo Marvin said...

That last comment will be referred to the Department Of Redundancy Department. Meanwhile, I shall have another glass of cabernet.

M. Bouffant said...

mikey, I do believe the hawt-sounding pot-hole is one Amy Sedaris. You could look her up, & decide if she's wacky enough for you. I think she's at least a little odd.

Substance McGravitas said...

This is a pretty funny book.

Depending on your fabilities.

Rusty Shackleford said...

What's all this about gargling ballsweat?

Another Kiwi said...

Garglin Ballsweat: A Norwegian Black Metal musician whose on stage persona conflicted with his Mormon beliefs culminating in a devastating appearance at the Flea Vomit Club in Oslo when he wore a Polo neck sweater and encouraged the audience to "Clap your hands for Jesus".

mikey said...

Damn, Bouffant, that's simply amazing.

I NEVER woulda thought that the pothole was, like, SOMEBODY.

Now, if you can hook me up with the blonde bartender from the Budweiser commercials I'll be outta your hair in no time.

And there'll be a nice li'l sumpin on the drivers-side front tire of your car...
