“Margie, wake up!”
The rotund younger sister ignored the request, turning over and darting her head under a pillow. She saw that the sun was far from rising and knew the schoolbell wouldn’t be ringing for hours. Her older sister probably just wanted to get something off her chest.
“C’mon, I want to talk to you.” This time, Vanessa coupled her appeal with a gentle swinging of a pillow. She had succeeded.
“Great, now you’ve done it! I’m officially awake!” Margie feigned supreme aggravation, shaking a fist in her older sister’s face and putting on her best scowl. But her natural joviality didn’t allow for such impressions to persist and she ended up chuckling, amused by her own antics.
“Seriously though,” Margie began after looking at the clock, “it’s just after three in the morning — what do you want?”
Vanessa plopped onto the bed. “I’m in love.”
“Oh, spare me!”
“I am.”
“With that Daryl boy?”
“He’s no boy.”
Margie halted her intended conversation. “Wait — what does that mean?”
The elder, more beautiful sister did her best to prevent the blood from flowing into her face. She failed. Blushing, she offered her explanation, “Well let’s just say he’s no boy and I’m no longer just a girl with monthly Womanly Responsibilities. I’m a full-fledged woman.”
Margie’s jaw nearly hit her potbelly. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “I can’t believe what I’m hearing. You…you let that dude bone you?”

Variant Covers: I Love It When You Deathstroke Me!
Sometimes I use comic books as a means to escape the drudgery of the daily routine. Tomorrow I’m going to be using them to escape the Furnace of Doom that is eating up the Eastern seaboard. The various nooks and crannies of my body are pooling sweat. My body smells like a refuge for swamp animals.
My air conditioner hates me.
It’s time to escape.

Kathie Lee Gifford Says Adult Gamers Are ‘Weird’. She Is A Bastion of Dumb.
It’s also a reverse compliment that Kathie Lee Gifford thinks that adults who play video games are weird. To associate with her empty husk, her pithy ramblings, and the mind-numbing brain rot for housewives that is her television show is a fate worse than death. The Dark Mark or some shit.

‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Teaser Poster Is Here. Oh Yes.
Last night I made the mistake of rolling into bed around 10:30. I don’t know when I became such an old bastard, but I need my sleep. When I awoke today and browsed the interwebz in traffic, I discovered to my horror that whilst I slept there was an official teaser poster for The Dark Knight Rises released.
You’ve already seen it a thousand times, but here it is anyways.
