Manicdote has had a bit of a makeover. As Terry said in his last post - we were shocked to realized that people had no idea that (TWO) different people were the posters on manicdote. If a post was about the pugs, scrapbooking, cooking and random life stuff…it was probally by me, Allison (Nevis). However if it was crazy, about comics, Star Wars, movies or video games…it was probally written by Terry (Van Redd).
After months of debate we’ve decide to split out our two identities to two seperate blogs. Obviously each of us will continue to post the stuff were interested in, but now the posts will be on different blogs. I’m still here but Terry will now be posting on Van Redd Online.
Also I’ve got a new look to manicdote. Hope you like it! Personally, I can’t decide if I like this better or not. There are elements I like better than the old theme. Let me know your thoughts…
A lot of people have been complaining about the new Indiana Jones movie. They say it is the worst movie and now makes Temple of Doom the second worst. People who prefer Raiders and Crusade have only one valid point, that they are stupid. I am here to tell you that those people who put TOD down are turdburglers and are not to be trusted.
Temple had a much darker story then any of the other films. It delt with an evil cult, child slavery, and asian sidekicks. The main villain, Mola Ram, pulled a guys heart out with his bare hands…his BARE HANDS! If you don’t think that is awesome you obviously have no idea what awesome means (FYI: It means pulling someone’s heart out with your bare hands). This is also the film that created the PG-13 rating. So suck on that G and PG!
I will now show you with indisputable proof that Temple was the very best of the Indiana Jones films and had it all. Including:
So there you have it. If this is not enough to convice you then you are hopelessly lost.

Hello land dwelling miscreants. I am Prince Namor of Atlantis. NO! Not Atlanta you moron! That would be Ted Turner and I shall not begin about his assbaggery here. I am also known to you as Namor the First, the Avenging Son, Imperius Rex, the Sub-Mariner. What I shall say to you shall be short and sweet. I want to be your president. I am the Atlantian for the job. I have ruled my undersea kingdom for years and I can do the same for your pitiful masses. I could go on but my accomplishments speak for themselves.
- World War II Veteran
-Attacked America numerous times
-Son of a highly respected Sea Captain Leonard McKenzie
-Most likely not a skrull…maybe.
-The First Mutant…and the last!
-Pro Green Hulk / Anti Red Hulk
-Vulnerable to oxygen imbalance in my blood that trigger manic-depressive mood swings which make me an unpredictable leader and thus leave our enemies in constant confusion.
-I can fly.
-Nailed Sue Richards like a hammer…if you know what I mean.
-STILL knows that Spider-Man is Peter Parker.
-I have personally been to the DC Universe, kicked Aquaman’s ass, and slapped the one they call “Super”man like he was an unloved child.
-Member of the secret Illuminati. I know I should probably not tell you that but you see I am far more intelligent than you so you probably don’t even know what that means.
-Pinball Wizard.
-Personal friend AND enemy of Doctor Victor Von Doom!
-Plus I already have the perfect running mate. . .
Normally there isn’t much traffic at all when I come home - but today there was some sort of accident/gas spill and it completely clogged up our highway. This part here of my commute normally takes me 20 minutes - instead it took 2 hours. Crazy, huh? I thought I’d left traffic like this behind when I moved out to Alabama from Los Angeles.
My birthday is tomorrow. My awesome Mom sent me flowers (and a balloon!) and it arrived today. Here it is next to the new couch cushions I got last night. What a wonderful birthday I’ll be having tomorrow!
I have found myself, by chance, in the midst of a precarious situation yet again. First it was the knife fight with a bear on a trapeze wire and now this. It seems I have stumbled into some sort of fisticuffs between Spider-Man and his Ne’er do well friends. Shame on that bloke but at least it give me a chance to write faux british like with my daper sunglasses!
On the topic of comic books what is with Marvel these days? It is a constant up and down battle with them. I love the Skrull Invasion but I hate the Brand New Day for Spider-Man. Oh well.
In other news I am now done with my first full year of teaching and I have been rehired for another year. WOOT! Stay tuned as I am preparing the sequal to An Interview with Dr. Doom with…..
