I was thinking of Sarge Steel) I met Ray Palmer, but aside from a science assist didn't really get any action out of it. I'll try again. And yes, I love code! I really enjoyed the Earth S (or whatever number they're giving it now) Shazam stories of recent years with the monster society code. Awesome!<br /><br />And for the record, the Lizard Men are just COOL.mathematicscorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439579069513071094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-13833839137934922192010-01-19T22:12:17.107-06:002010-01-19T22:12:17.107-06:00You know Liss, M.C. and I do seem to have formed a...You know Liss, M.C. and I do seem to have formed a simpatico. While it's nice to have some affirmation that my mind is not completely aberrant from the rest of humanity, I much prefer hearing about the readers who went far astray from the path I'd walk. As for the Lizard-Men, they're performing surprisingly well in this month's poll. Readers seem to want more, but between the Vile Menagerie entry and the lengthy <i>American Secrets</i> synopsis, what else was I to do? Make stuff up!Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-33547378988524113102010-01-19T21:51:29.877-06:002010-01-19T21:51:29.877-06:00That was fun--I'm so glad you chose American S...That was fun--I'm so glad you chose American Secrets as the backdrop.<br /><br />Plus this gave me some ideas for my activity. Maybe I'll try my hand at a challenge like this. I use to loooove Choose Your Own Adventure books when I was a kid, but somehow I always managed to wind up dead when I read those...in fact, the first ending I choose here The Atom died. I didn't get to decode the message until the third time around because I figured with my luck I'd cut my losses and "leave well enough alone."<br /><br />"I think a series set in the past along the lines of that Christmas special could be 18 kinds of awesome."<br /><br />mc, add me down for four more counts of awesome to bring that to a nice round 22 counts.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-42756638569831904882010-01-19T16:35:56.143-06:002010-01-19T16:35:56.143-06:00I'm all about bringin' the fun.

Also, did you decrypt the Venusian message? Finally, I totally always thumbed my last choice page on "Choose Your Own Adventures," to see where else I might want to end up later.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-51857893897067065472010-01-19T10:21:23.204-06:002010-01-19T10:21:23.204-06:00Okay, so first of all, FUN!

I'd prefer J'onn to be a part of the current DCU, but even if he wasn't alive, I think a series set in the past along the lines of that Christmas special could be 18 kinds of awesome.<br />I don't know if I've been hanging out at your blog too much or what, but we clearly think alike, because I totally chose my way to a "happy" ending on the first go round. (being OCD I of course went back and looked at the others.)mathematicscorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439579069513071094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-34559250983755733032010-01-19T03:39:36.268-06:002010-01-19T03:39:36.268-06:00This was fun!
