The Real Reason

The real reason behind the break-up:

Fuckin’ space mantis. Goddamn.

I knew I should’ve recharged my Atomo-Ray before I got into a new relationship.

    Hmm. Are you sure you didn’t prevent her from recording a hit song with Pat Boone? ‘Cause if there’s one thing that spells relationship doom, that would be it.

    Well, I am sad to say that despite my best efforts, she did manage to record a song with Pat Boone. Luckily, though, it did not catch on with listeners and quickly fell off the charts and into obscurity. It was briefly mentioned on VH1′s “I Love the 70s!” by Michael Ian Black and Judy Tenuta.

    There’s just no trusting space mantis..es.. manti? Anyhow. It’s a shame you didn’t have a really big shoe.

    Space Mantises usually don’t give me any problems. The ladies usuall “appreciate” being saved and it looks more manly to rip them apart with your bare hands.

    No, my big problem is this: http://www.mutanthigh.com/aliens/brood.html

    Nothing worse on a relationship than when your woman suddenly metamorphoses into a brood. It just kills the mood when they try and impale you before you can climax.

    Surprisingly, I think that’s the very first Brood comment on Tales to Astonish! I didn’t expect it coming from you!

    Dude, I collected X-men comics (and many more Marvel titles) for going on 16 years before I finally entered rehab, I mean quit. I collected Uncanny X-men from issue 165 to about 400. Issue 165 has the cover of Storm turning into a Brood. So you see, the Brood and I are old pals.

    I remember that great awesome cover of Wolverine half-Brooded. It was gruesome and neat. My brother had that one, being a bigger X-fan than me. I was still going strong with Spidey.
