Memes? Who doesn’t love em? The power of the internet to force feed funny (or unfunny) things down its own throat for extended periods of time is totally awesome right? Because it’s not a thing on the internet until it goes viral!

Everyone has a sidekick. That buddy they seem to always pal around with. The Yin to their Yang. The Peanut Butter to their Jelly. The Brodie to their T.S. Or the T.S to their Brody, for all I know they could be your sidekick instead of the other way around.

I haven’t really done any gaming marathons in a long time, since I was a Destruction Warlock in WoW running Kara and Gruul’s Lair waaaaay back in the day. Star Trek Online isn’t really a “marathon” type game, as it doesn’t have any content that takes longer than 45 minutes. But I’ve marathoned Star Trek or Planet of the Apes or Clerks movies many a time.

What can I say, my taste in cereal is like my taste in drinks. Things that are fruity and taste good.

With today being May 4th, even though I’m at the Star Trek Con, I thought I would do something Star Wars related.

I used to be huge into Star Wars. Back when AOL was only 5 hours a month, I spent those 5 hours in a 1 hour Star Wars trivia chatroom each Friday night. But then the dark day came on May 19, 1999, and I decided to switch my primary allegiance to Star Trek.

Cell phones are ubiquitous these days. Everyone has one, and just about everyone thinks they have to best ringtone ever. I’m here to tell you, no, no you don’t. Pretty much every ring tone is annoying. It’s that way by design so you pick up the phone as soon as possible. Some are just worse than others.

I’ve always been a big X-Men fan. The Animated Series came out when I was in 6th grade, and I’ve seen every episode multiple times, including at least 3 times I sat down and watched all 76 episodes in a row in a short span. I still have my VHS Tape, cup and placemat from the Pizza Hut promo. It was also one of the few series I read regularly at the time, I had all the issues of Uncanny from 281 (coincides with X-Men, Vol 2 #1) all the way up through and past Jean and Scott’s wedding to the Age of Apocalypse and most of the corresponding X-Men issues until I lost interest in comics the first time.

In the spirit of Avengers vs. X-men, for this week and next week, I’m gonna draft my own Avengers and X-Men teams respectively.

Most of my exposure to the ‘A’ team was through their West Coast Branch, because for some reason I bought a copy of Avengers West Coast #1 simply because I could when I was a kid. I’m gonna try to avoid the big names and go with a more offbeat list. While I could just use the Fantastic Four and Spider Man (really, look it up), here’s my list.
