OHHHHH! I get it! Okay, I do owe Ghoulman an apology. I just re-read his post (for the umpteenth time), and understood the part about:

Quote:
You're a dick.
A big ole' cup o' mudders milk if you know what that quote is all about.

I didn't connect the two statements in my head. Derrrr... Guess there's no mudder's milk in my future, eh?

Ghoulman, sorry 'bout my misunderstanding, dude.

"You're a dick."
is one of two survivng jokes from joss's rewrite of X-men. they'd asked him to punch up the script a little. he did. they threw out everything but two jokes, and one of them was butchered.

What was the other joke in the movie, the one that was butchered? I knew that he did script work, but I didn't know what from the movie was still his.

I'm personally excited to read his take on the X-Men. I got out of the books in the past year or so, not long after the latest re-launch. It'll be fun to jump back in with Joss and see what he does with them.

FRAY was finally finished; I think the problem was that the artist (Moline?) had over-extended himself just a tad by starting work on ROUTE 666 for CrossGen. I can't remember if there were script delays too, but I thought a lot of it was artist-related. I remember being ticked when ROUTE 666 came out. "DUDE!! Finish FRAY first!!!"

the toad lightning joke.
"You know what happens to a toad when it gets hit by lightning?
The same thing that happens to everything else."

here's some more detail about it in an interveiw with joss:

He's got that Buffy comic series ("Tales of the Vampire Slayer" I /think/) and recently a vampire-perspective one (with some touching background on Drusilla and Spike just before they came to Sunnydale). He just wrote the introductory piece, though, and mostly gets other writers I think. Still.

*Ding Ding Ding Ding!* you get a big ole cup o' the GOOD stuff! TOO JAYNE!!! *gulp* TOO JOSS!!! *gulp gulp gulp*.

No worries ASTRIANA. That 'dick' comment is the only real surviving line Joss wrote for that movie. No drinks for you.

And then I added 'why doesn't joss do his own comic?" which is neither here nor there. Just my personal desire to see Joss to something in the 'real' world. I read X-Men in high school and loved it and I liked the first movie very much.

I heard of Fray. Forgot about it actually so I stand corrected! I noticed Marvel comics is putting out a lot of money for writers outside of comics. Kevin being the most well known example, and now Joss. Makes sense... Hollywoodland has been stealing from comics for years so comics might as well get something back.

Hey, does anyone know where I can get a list of all the comics that Joss (or other Buffy/Angel/Firefly writers) have done?

Awww, thanks, Ghoulman, you're a doll!

And I have to agree, that was one of the more interesting variants of a double post!
