Happy birthday, uh...hey, wait a minute! The 1976 Super DC Calendar doesn't list anything for today. Lazy-ass DC writers, trying to convince me no one in the multiverse was born on January 6th? Uh uh, y'all, I ain't goin' out like that. I hereby declare that today is the day to wish a happy birthday to Tom "Pieface" Kalmaku

At least nothing was said of "Can We Start Again."

[calamityjon]

Also, double-check that she wasn't specifically speaking of the awesome snippet that Judas sings, because that does rule, quite a bit, a lot, etc.

[ludickid]

Judas can make any song work. Well, except "Can We Start Again".

[ludickid]

Oh, but there was. I noted that only the presence of "Can We Start Again" prevents "I Don't Know How to Love Him" from being the worst song in the universe. Alas, she is only familiar with the stage versions, which wisely eliminate that piece of Webber effluvium, and not the film, so she has been spared having her eardrums permanently disfugured. So we went back to arguing about "I Don't Know How to Simper" until she hit me in the face with a frying pan.

Well, at least you're taking me to "Elektra" to make up for it. A little antiseptic on the stitches and I'll be fine.

[ludickid]

If only the theater was showing a double-feature of "Elektra" and "Phantom of the Opera"! Then I would explode from sheer happiness, or something that rhymes with happiness.

I love how the "Elektra" trailers say 'From the team that brought you X-Men'. That carries a lot more weight than 'From the team that brought you Daredevil'.

[noodle_noodle]

I love that song. No, seriously.

[ludickid]

A lot of people do. I am not one of them.

[ninafarina]

Dear noodle noodle,

Although I took Leonard back into my bed and bosum, I herewith spurn him favor of you.

Marry me.

Yours steadfastly, unless it turns out you have a problem with hearing the "Felicity" soundtrack over and over,

That's it. When I come over this weekend I'm loading up my iPod with nothing but Merzbow and the Kids from Widney High.

[aberranteyes]

I hereby declare that today is the day to wish a happy birthday to Tom "Pieface" Kalmaku!

Works for me.

You know, speaking of the Super DC 1976 Calendar AS WE OFTEN DO, I am always amused that no two characters in the DC multiverse share a single birthday. Not even the doppelgangers. Not even in the future.

Makes things easier when they're passing the cards around the Satellite, I'm sure.

[ludickid]

Don't Superman and Captain Marvel share a birthday? Even though Supes' is made up and the big red cheese just picked his because it was Superman's?

And speaking of Shazam, I love how the calendar lists a birthday for Mr. Mind. Who remembers a worm's birthday?

[calamityjon]

Bitch, you're so low, you remembered a worm's birthday!

Also, just to make this a thread about super-hero teams enduring office humor, how often do you think the Wasp ended up passing around the birthday card for yellowjacket, but everyone thought it was (the far more popular) Beast because all she'd say is "It's for Hank's birthday?" And then Yellowjacket gets the card back and Hawkeye has written "Hey Old Timer! I guess we know who to blame when we find blue hairs all over the mansion!" And then he draws an arrow and "Fuck shit up" written underneath it.

- the gang tries to figure out where to take Moondragon for her birthday

- Reed and Sue have a big fight and Wyatt Wingfoot and She-Hulk spend the whole workday feeling really uncomfortable

- Firebrand tells the Atom to get his own damn coffee

- the Vision breaks down and while the repairman is fixing him, they bring in a temp; it turns out the week before he was working for the Masters of Evil

- the Legion puts Princess Projectra's birthday card in a manila envelope to make it look like work, but it doesn't food her for a second
