Cryptic Spam, And A Fannish Item

Okay, during the night an anonymous commenter wandered into my journal and posted a comment in the previous entry. I’m set to screen comments if they’re from someone that’s not on my friends list, or anonymous. I believe it was spam. The text was hitting the limits for how big it could get, all caps, and bright red. I deleted it. The words were basically gibberish, but slightly entertaining. This (sized down, removing the red for easier reading—still in caps, though) is what was posted: “THE BIRD OF THE SUN MUST BRING AN OFFERING TO THE LADY OF THE LAKE, FOR IF THE STEEL MAN HIDES THE KEY, THE ARMIES OF JUSTICE WILL MARCH TO SESAME STREET.”

I thought it was a reference to something at first, but a Google search turns up nothing. Although, it does sound like something The Question would mutter while discussing conspiracy theories, and in between saying that aglets are designed to kill. Or some obscure password that spies would mutter to gain entrance to a forbidden club.

That, or Piotr Rasputin is going to lay waste to Sesame Street after locating the sword Excalibur and getting access to the Phoenix Force. Your call.

Io9 lists The 5 Most Tear-Jerking X-Men Deaths. Little Illyana from the Legacy Virus, and Doug are two that I definitely agree with. If we weren’t only counting X-Men, I would have added Aunt May in Amazing Spider-Man #400—even if it was retconned into being an actress pretending to be Aunt May.

If you haven't already seen The Nostalgia Critic's latest video, you need to do so. He's reviewing The Room, and through the course of the video he does a skit relating to Back to the Future, and a "This is an ex-parrot" homage. The whole thing is great.

I’m leaving the poll open until Thursday afternoon. As of right now, it looks like Renee Montoya is winning with 7 votes.

I've just received word that my old elementary school principal has passed away. I don’t think I had seen him since middle school, since he occasionally popped over for a visit with the principal there. He was 73, but it wasn’t old age, it was pancreatic cancer. Mom says that when he retired, he became a beekeeper. From what I gather, he did that until the day he died.
