According to the AOL newsfeed, the captured al Qaeda guy is known as "The Brain."
I'm sorry...I can't pass it up.
Bin Laden and the Brain
Bin Laden and the Brain
One is a genius, the other's insane.
Send people to their graves
While hiding out in caves
Osama...bin Laden and the Brain brain brain brain brain
They run and run and run
And run a little more
By the dawning of the sun
They'll cause a major war
Bin Laden and the Brain
Bin Laden and the Brain
Their terror campaign
Is easy to explain
There's no ifs, ands or buts
The guys are nuckin' futz.
Osama...bin Laden and the Brain brain brain brain brain brain brain brain (narf!)

"What are we gonna do this week, Brain?"
"The same thing we do every week, Bin Laden: try to destroy the US and/or take over the world."
Peter...it's a genetic complusion, isn't it? Not nuture, but nature?
Scratch that question. I've decided I don't want to know.
Prior to recruiting the guy, Bin Laden had been heard singing:
I would not be such a tyrant,
Like a mad dog near a hydrant,
On a cold day in Kabul.
La da, la da da da da.
With a Brain, not in my tush,
I could lick that Dubya Bush,
If I only had a Brain.
Completely off topic here, but, whats this nonsense about Chriscross being off Captain Marvel ? Over at Newsarama someone made a comment to the effect that Jemas was removing him from C.M. ... say it aint so !
You make terrorism funny, Mr. David. I don't know whether to tush-tush you or give you a great big hug. Thanks for the laugh.
Couldn't resist, eh?
Brain: "Osama, are you Pondering what I'm pondering?"
Osama: "I think So, Brain. But isn't there already a Comic called "Marville? Narf!"
Ok maybe that's in bad taste, but Peter started it.
Peter, dude, whatever you're smoking, let me take a hit of that. Don't Bogart it!
Where did the term Bogart come from anyway? What's up with that?
"Monty Python's The Life of Brain?" Naw, I'm just dyslexic. Actually, that's kind of scary considering the Suicide Squad (especially if you've seen the DVD with the deleted scenes).
Chris
Oh, dear. Someone keep PAD talking; I'll page Leonard Samson... We'll get through this somehow. :)
K'Pinky and the Brain. Two Klingon warrior mice trying to rule the universe. Click if you dare. :)
Pfft--Phfftt..PHAHAHHAAAAHHHAHAHAHHEEEHEEHHHH (wheeze koffkoff)....

Ohhhh dear... I'll be humming that all night now... :) Thanks, PAD.

Yes, Peter, I read that too, DID pass it up, and now I'm sorry that I did!! But I'm glad you didn't!!
Somehow, though, I just can't picture that guy voicing Brain's triumphant: "Eeeeeeeeyes!!" !
Doesn't that picture of him look like they caught him after a bender....like some white-trash mook on "Cops"??

Yes, it's true, Chris will no longer be doing "Captain Marvel." I was not told specifically why, but I don't think I'm giving away any deep secrets in noting that he had trouble maintaining a monthly schedule. Number 5 was just being finished at the point when issue #6 was due, and that's with #4 having been a fill-in artist. So perhaps that was why. I doubt it has anything to do with Jemas.
PAD
"He wears a disguise to look like human guys, but he's not a man, he's Osama-Boo."
you know what's sad?
bin Laden and the Brain would be more entertaining than "Pinky, Elmira and The Brain" and "Marville" combined.
*sigh*
is that saying much really, though? a poke in the eye with a sharp stick would be more entertaining than "Marville"
Chris Williams is off the book? Man, that sucks. Well, I wish him luck. If CM continues, I nominate Ivan Reiss, whose fill-in in #5 was SPECTACULAR, or perhaps Chris Batista, whose fill-in issue in vol. I featuring Spider-Man 2099 was very beautifully rendered.
What does everyone else think? Should a "Chris" stay on the title? :)
How can you make...giggle..fun of such evil men...titter..haven't you heard what they stand for...chuckle...that's not...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
funny.
:)
Sorry to hear Chriscross is leaving CM, BTW. Any word on who's taking his place? (It's probably too much to hope for Gary Frank.)
...and this is why the terrorists will never win! :)
Thanks PAD

"I'm sorry...I can't pass it up."
I wanted to quip that maybe you should've, but then I found myself singing it aloud to my husband.
Quite funny.
So, does that make Bush into Elmyra?
At MegaCon this weekend, I asked Chris about what he was doing next, and he said he'd be doing some Avengers and some JLA -- I'm assuming fill-ins on each.
I got the impression that it was his choice to move on from Captain Marvel, though that may just have been because he's seen how work can dry up at Marvel if one is overheard speaking ill of them...
Oh, and incidentally, Chris mentioned that Ivan Reis was indeed his replacement on CM.
It was recently reported that upon closer inspection of photos released of the captured Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the State department has admitted that it accidentally arrested 70s TV staple Avery Shreiber by mistake. US officials have determined that after days of interrogation, Mr. Schriber has little or no connection to terrorist activities, however Charles Nelson Reilly has subsequently been put in military custody.
Very creative! Now if we can actually get someone to make up a mock-cartoon for it, with song, and get it posted online... Would probably be the most-hit web site for a week!
TO WILL BERKOVITZ:
The term "bogart" as in "don't bogart that joint" comes from the iconic image of Humphrey Bogart with a near-finished cigarette perpetually dangling from his mouth. Hence, to keep a cigarette or joint long enough for you to resemble Humprhey means you have "bogarted" it.
I send Kat this link because I think it's funny and she being the youngster she is doesn't get it. She has no clue as to who Pinky and the Brain are.
Sad Generation, sad.
"Brain? What is this brain!"
I can't believe no one has done the Trek gag yet.
Oh, I sat next to Chriscross at Megacon and that was the big question of the weekend. I believe the JLA is fill-in work and the Avengers work is tentative. Well, that and people wanting to know how tall he is. 6'9" for those who were curious.

This just in. The Brain has announced that Iraq has been drafting soldiers for a secret New Arab Resistance Front in anticipation of war with the U.S.
In response, the White House announced that Bush is deploying several of the new Poseidon Overland Incendiary Tracking missiles.
Said the President, "N.A.R.F? P.O.I.T.!"

Is it just me, or does the photo they keep showing look like that guy who sits on his front porch in a lawn chair all day drinking beer and yelling at kids to get off his lawn?
Brain: "Are you pondering what I'm pondering, Pinky?"
Pinky: "I think so, Brain. But what kind of weapon is a 'ChrissCross'? NARF!"
*So, does this make Osama Bin Laden "SnowBall", the evil hamster from the cartoon?*

On the subject of Iraq (figure I'll post it here till PAD starts a new Iraq entry):
DOHA, Qatar - Bitter enmity between Iraq and Kuwait erupted in a vitriolic name-calling match on Wednesday at an Islamic summit meant to unite the voices of the world's one billion Muslims against war.
In a clash caught on live television before the Qatar state broadcaster shut down transmission, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's top aide Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri departed from his text to zero in on the Kuwaitis sitting across the conference chamber.
"Shut up you minion, you (U.S.) agent, you monkey. You are addressing Iraq," al-Douri said. "You are insolent. You are a traitor to the Islamic nation," he spat out as Qatar's Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani tried to shut him up.
A Kuwaiti delegate responded that the insults were "the words of an infidel and a charlatan," as the two sides shouted and gesticulated angrily at each other.
