Thank you. I've been reading it all weekend. It's amazing - up there with Schlock Mercenary and Casey and Andy. Which is to say, I think I like it even better than Order of the Stick.

The palindromedary notes that at first they seemed to be conflating chaos and evil, then made it explicit that the bad guys aren't evil because they're chaotic, they're evil because they're chaotic and out of balance...

I just finished catching up to today's addition.
I was planning to continue reading 5ER this weekend . . .
OMG. She said "Yes."

I should be reading. Instead of that I've been catching up with Something Positive, and I don't even remember why I started reading it, it isn't normally my thing, but it's been darn funny.

Did you guys catch the strip from last week with Firestorm? That moment during the card game killed me...

Ah, yes! I thought I saw that somewhere! I was surprised when I didn't see a post here about it...

Ah.
Now I get it.

It would be wonderful. It would be like that scene in that movie that everyone quotes where the one guy says something awesome to the other guy.

Firestorm is a third tier DC superhero. Popular during some runs, but not well known enough for most non-supers geeks to recognize him.
He was the red and yellow guy at playing cards with Green Lantern and Batman.
I think the joke was that if the name Firestorm does mean anything to you then it feels really funny calling the spell by that name. Kind of like naming an armor spell "Ironman" or a strength spell "the Hulk"
Cause a joke is always funnier when you explain it....
WW: "We have Einstein's Brain? I thought that was at Princeton Hospital?"
MM: "Transylvania 6-5000 Dubbie! Do you really think we'd leave that hanging around a bunch of Frat boys with Mono?"
WW: "So, whose brain does Princeton have?"
MM: "The only woman smart enough to kill Einstein"
