AOMM:

You are much too kind. I can still remember coming to Wonkette as a wide-eyed kid, reading the comments and wondering if someday I could ever do that.

Of course, back then I had a job...

His power is he moves super fast and can shoot a blinding light. His secret identity was a professional skier. He was one of the X-Men. I'm not kidding.

But can you explain why Clark and Jimmy Olsen were eating breakfast together in those old cereal commercials?

Many years ago I heard an interview with the widow of Nat "King" Cole. It was often pointed out he was the first Black performer with a national tv variety show.

She said the iimportant thing wasn't that he was the first one. The important thing was he wasn't the last one.

W.C. Fields was on Broadway with the great Bert Williams, at that time one of the highest paid performers in America.

Fields asked Williams to go out for a drink. They picked a posh New York hotel, figuring they both would get served.

Fields was charged fifty cents for his drink. Williams was charged $50.

Williams pulled out his wallet, laid five $100 bills on the counter, and said "I''ll have ten more."

This...THIS is why I love Wonkette. Only three types make me laugh: Myself. Professional Comedians, and Wonkettes.

It's only you folks that keep me from being a complete auto-erotic whore monger.

Alas...this was back in my 20s. My middle-aged compatriots don't want to talk of such things, and it would be creepy if I sought out folks young enough to appreciate such antics.

Archie has become incredibly progressive, actually. It's kinda weird, but wonderful.
