There should be a word for that sneaking feeling that you get that you've somehow gotten on the wrong bus.

Two syllables.

"Oh, fuck."

Being daily reminded of one's humanity is probably the single most humbling experience.

I used to watch The Flying Nun when I was a kid. Now I only remember two things about it:

1) There was a nun.

2) She flew.

At work, I have become used to finding coworkers more aesthetically pleasing with masks on, so when they remove their masks I'm always like, eww, you should keep that on all the time.

Superheroes are basically gods, but they still don't do what gods ought to do. They stop the occasional bank robbery, but it's mainly just them against the super villains. When a superhero rights the actual wrongs of the world, then I would I be impressed.

When the cats meow at me, I usually say something like, 'I know, sweetie,' but in reality I have no fucking idea.

That's an interesting topic in its own right.  Back in the 70's comic book writers began to write stories centered more on real life issues like drug use and race.  This is generally considered the beginning of the bronze age of comics.  It wasn't so much the superheroes taking on the drug world as them being affected by people they were close to having drug additions or being victims of racism.  In the 40's of course Captain America took on the Nazis.  Superman did as well to a small degree, but of course those stories can't be very realistic since Superman could have mopped up the entire German military in an afternoon yet the real war continued.  The best way comics have dealt with issues of social relevance is through allegory, such as the X-Men dealing with prejudice against mutants.  I no longer keep up with current comics but I have read a lot about the current generation of comic readers being quite annoyed at writers who inject social justice elements into their stories.  They see this as an intrusion and altering the format.  Meh.

Unhappy with the storyline? Want things in your made- up reality different from the traditional?

Go make up your own shit and try to sell it.

I have thought now and then that Prozac or something similar should be fed through the ventilation system in places where I have worked.

Now I ponder how we could do that on the forum...there's some people in serious need of medication that they either aren't getting or aren't getting enough.
