a dispatch from the land of funny

You all know I spend a great deal of time with Thea. In case you're wondering why, here's a perfect example.

Yesterday, a gentleman of the online persuasion sent me an email saying that, if I only had green skin, I'd be just like the She-Hulk. (mind you, my photo in my profile is the one I've switched to here, just for demonstration purposes.) I forwarded his email to Thea, who responded with the following (some names have been changed to Frank, just because).

To: Kate
From: Thea
Subject: hulk. and thoughts ON hulkage.

She-Hulk? wtf??? Seriously – W. T. F.

I have a few questions … but first, WHO is this person who
a) knows of the she-hulk
b) refers to said she-hulk without
b1) pause
b2) irony
b3) context
c) thinks it's a sure-fire move to tell a lady she's like the she-hulk

And secondly, WHY are you not instantly shacking up with this comics Casanova this. very. instant ???

Thirdly, see question 2. Seriously. Get on this.

Additionally -- you know I actually know a bunch of the Marvel Comics guys … and they never bring up the she-hulk … never.

Although (and this quasi-bizarre coincidence shouldn't even really surprise us at this point) while I was visiting yesterday afternoon with Frank-the-Florida-doctor-who-seems-to-finally-be-semi-over-being-in-love-with-me-whom-you-saw-play-at-that-gig-in-06, a pair of regular-joe, suity-McSuit type strangers approached us to let me know that they had decided I looked like Lynda Carter. Yeah. Um, Wonderwoman. They did not appear to be intoxicated, insane, or otherwise impaired. But neither Frank nor I knew the proper response for this. We were just blithely watching the Yankees opening game. Well, me less blithely, but you get the idea.

Is it something we're putting out there?

Let's not waste too much energy on it – now, get back to work doing dangerous chemical experiments that cause you to go all scurvy-rific and rend your garments.


See? Now you want to be friends with her, too, don't you?
