Team GrimJack,
Say, didn't J. Michael Straczynski once pen a GrimJack screenplay? Dig out that sucker, get Johnny O to do a brush up, brother Tim can design the soundtrack, and secure Sam Ramie to direct, and you've got the recipe for one kick-ass flick. And now, I will take up the challenge of casting...
GrimJack/John Gaunt: Wes Studi
BlackJacMac: Avery Brooks
Jericho Noleski: Matthew McConaughey
Gorden Munden: Chris Evans
Roscoe: Danny DeVito
Spook: Carla Gugino
Goddess: Halle Berry
Rhian: Liv Taylor
Mayfair: Ben Kingsley
Major Lash: Sam Elliot
Dancer: Bruce Campbell
and doing motion capture for Bob the Watch Lizard: Andy Sircus
That's the way I see it. What do you fellow's think of my choices? More later...
Keep it in your pants, Hairballs,
John Michael Decker AKA Johnny D.

To Survey a Super-Villain
Have you ever gotten one of those annoying survey's in your e-mail box? You know the ones I'm talking about. They ask you such probing questions as, "what is on your mouse pad?" or "do you prefer croutons or bacon bits on your salad?" Deep stuff. Recently, I thought that it would be funny to send one of those surveys to a Republic Serial Villain. The fiend who I chose for this social experiment was none other than Blotar the Unpredictable, the Space Tyrant who matched wits with Lance Proton every week on the radio drama, "Lance Proton and the Space Battalion of Justice." Let's see what happened...
If you choose to contribute to the stream of pointless email that saps the productivity of this once-great nation: Copy (not forward) this entire e-mail and paste it onto a new e-mail that you will send. Change all of the answers so that they apply to you. Then, send this to a whole bunch of people you know, INCLUDING the person who sent it to you. The theory is that you will learn a lot of little known facts about your friends. Remember to send yours back to the person who sent it to you.

Return to Pringle's Poetry Place...
And now, because so many people demanded it (I'm looking at you Vanessa), let us revisit the masterpieces of Thaddeus Pringle: Poet, Playwright, Scholar, and Genius...
Ode To Sheep
(Fuzzy, Fuzzy Sheep)
By Thaddeus Pringle: Friend to Sheep
~
Sheep Sheep Sheep Sheep
How I love it when they bleat
The thought doth rob me of my sleep
Fuzzy, naughty, little sheep
~
Sheep be soft, compact and ducky
Oft times their eyes are rather runny
Their fluffy tails make me feel funny
I long to smear their legs with honey
~
Buy alas, my love is unrequited
For when I approach, my hands are bited
Someday I shall win their affections
Without, I pray, undue infections

Ode to Cheese
By Thaddeus Pringle: Cheese Eater
~
I ponder all the cheese that ere I saw
I wish to cram it in my maw
By Thaddeus Pringle: Friend to Sheep
~
Sheep Sheep Sheep Sheep
How I love it when they bleat
The thought doth rob me of my sleep
Fuzzy, naughty, little sheep
~
Sheep be soft, compact and ducky
Oft times their eyes are rather runny
Their fluffy tails make me feel funny
I long to smear their legs with honey
~
Buy alas, my love is unrequited
For when I approach, my hands are bited
Someday I shall win their affections
Without, I pray, undue infections

Ode to Cheese
By Thaddeus Pringle: Cheese Eater
~
I ponder all the cheese that ere I saw
I wish to cram it in my maw
Be it yellow, white, green or smooshy
Cheese feels good rubbed on my tushy
~
~
If I could eat but one sole victual
Than swallowing cheese would be my ritual
Oh how I love fomented curds
They strengthen muscles, harden...
~
Ummm... Cheese is good for the digestion, know you.
That be all.
Begone!

Exotic Jungle Amour
(or "Ode to Monkeys" the sequel)
By Thaddeus Pringle: Cunning Linguist
~
Zebras and Elephants
Apes in the trees
Thy beauty adorns thee
Like a jungle breeze
~
Lush green trees be exceedingly fine
I should forswear their visage
If thou couldst be mine
~
Thy cascading tresses are as spun silk to me
Were I a monkey I'd gladly groom thee
~
Monkey Monkey Monkey Monkey
Monkey Monkey MONKEY!!!
