Are they r..."But CAW makes no mistakes!" Are they reading the same story we are? Because I'm honestly not convinced they've made anything that wasn't a mistake.<br /><br />And Joshua, I'm also pretty amazed that the lost ancient thingy was "lost" as in "did you check under the sofa cushions." Speaking of, dibs on whatever's behind the monastery sofa cushions!<br /><br />But basically, what we've learned from this excursion is that it has everything but Yul Brenner. And that monk needs some mood stabilizers: "Nuh-uh, it's mine! Hey, did I tell you about this other thing we used to own? OK, I trust you with my Thing of Importance! Happy day, pillage our temple as you see fit!"<br /><br />I do have to question the utility of the Humanliminator, though. Why are their clothes and weapons still visible? Isn't Hawkgirl not human? Why <i>aren't</i> they bumping into things? Why aren't the now-invisible wild jungle animals not mauling what's left of Niles's disfigured remains?Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-49921259860606515692016-08-30T15:53:21.782-05:002016-08-30T15:53:21.782-05:00"Or maybe there's a conspiracy against th..."Or maybe there's a conspiracy against them lead by Zahi Hawass."<br /><br />Good one!

Did the tree offend them in some manner, or are they just taking the opportunity to clear-cut some local flora? And would shooting through the tree reduce the potency of the protonic amplifier? What possible reason could they have to shoot through the tree? <br /><br />Sorry, I tend to fixate on things. I need an Absorbascon, too.

1...Things That Make Me Happy in Today's Post: <br /><br />1) CAW Agents Frasier and Niles. Which makes sense. After all, they ARE...wait for it....CRANES! <br /><br />2) So the Wonder Weapons (tm) are too slow for the Hawks, but faster than men with guns? I simply don't understand this technology. Apparently, neither do Frasier and Niles. <br /><br />3) "Exposition Fairy" is the name of our next quartet....<br /><br />4) ...or "Miss Sparklejuice".<br /><br />5) ...or "Semi-Dickish".<br /><br />6) Wait, so the Monk's Lost Ancient Thingy was, in fact, just shoved in a drawer in the basement? Don't these folks clean up once in a while? Not to mention, they had the Magic Solar Lamp all along, so why couldn't they use it to find the Monk's Lost Ancient Thingy? *tsk* <br /><br />7) Everyone deserves a portable Absorbascon. <br /><br />8) Um, if it gave you their location AND their angle of fire, what more information do you need to take on the CAW agents? Or are you miffed that it's MAKING you fight them before letting you decode the Culture Bomb?<br /><br />9) Portable Absorbacon over Hawkgirl's shattered body: "Recalculating". <br /><br />10) Hawkgirl is shot with lethal energy and it merely sends "a tingling sensation" through her body. That's hard core. And hot. <br /><br />I love me some Rebirth, but this, right here, is what made comics great. CobraMisfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00254323816960257073noreply@blogger.com
