Of course, I'll have to post something in 2008 to warrant making the change. Good catch, my friend. Of course, I’ll have to post something in 2008 to warrant making the change.

Wow. I was so happy with the "The Road" parody- I read it on Xmas vacation because, in spite of how heavy I figured it would be, there were no other books worth reading in the Target @ St. George UT. It was one of the giantest bummers EVER. So thanks for the levity. And. Plus I loooorve sangin cowboys (Sons of the Pioneers anyone?) But the Superman story in the comments has changed my life. wow.

I... but... er... Silver age Superman was soooo trippy and out there and stupidly excellent. And yet every time they make a Superman movie, it's just Lex Luthor with a wig and a real estate development scheme. That is… just… I… but… er…

This planet conforms to visual images it receives, and had been left with old monster movies being shown to it on a nearby projector. So the entire planet is filled with tiny vampires, mummies and werewolves, who apparently can travel to our earth and grow to human size in coffin shaped spacecraft. The now regular sized monsters are scaring people off and causing problems, so Superman decides to swap the monster movies for the only other movie in the lab. Which happens to be the most wholesome, family friendly, goodnatured film Superman can think of: Oklahoma! Then Superman just leaves the planet there. So there is a tiny planet full of singing cowboy vampires and squaredancing werewolves sitting in some abandoned building in Metropolis.
