THE MELDING HAS BEGUN
AS IT WAS PREDICTED IN THE SCROLLS OF PYTHIA, the geek/jock melding has begun,
COURTESY BETHLEHEM SHOALS and, impossibly, The Sporting News.
BEGIN QUOTED TEXT
“Shaq, still one of the league’s biggest names, joining forces with LeBron James in a meeting worthy of Marvel Team-Up. And, not to get all John Hodgman on you, but that’s not necessarily a good thing. Yes, it’s two forces of nature, larger-than-life characters, improbably huge talents put together on the same time-space plane and, for these purposes, wearing same color jerseys. But like Marvel Team-Up, it’s fleeting, a fantasy, and could have very little bearing on the future…”
END QUOTED TEXT
WHILE THE PERSONAL MENTION is nice, what I really wish to draw your attention to is the incredibly apt Marvel Team-Up metaphor.
MEANWHILE: “SHAQ” AND “LEBRON JAMES” are sports players, FYI.
That is all
Shaq is actually a martial arts practitioner and part-time sheriff’s deputy. Lebron James is a professional commercial actor.

Taking a moment to remember Marvel Team-Up #74: Spider-Man and the Not Ready for Prime Time Players.

Do they have mutant powers or alien technology or what?
Comment by Andrew — June 25, 2009 @ 1:57 pm
What a terrible comparison – it’s really more like “Marvel Two-In-One” featuring the ever-loving Thing.
Comment by Jesse Dorje Irwin — June 25, 2009 @ 2:36 pm
I am willing to entertain that possibility, but will need a better argument than “what a terrible comparison.”

After a few consultations with my peers at Nasa, I would submit the neologism “jeeck” to describe the combination of a jock and a geeck.

Yeah so I know I mean I don’t know Amy Sedaris’s sister she is a very private person so fuck off okay.
Does Anyone else think that Ryan Oneal spent a lot of time chewing up the dirt road with his Hogwarts Express?
You know his wand is wartwood.

The cost for P90X is about three months of a paid gym membership but you get to keep the program forever,
P90x . You can try many of the online sites, but it will be the same as buying from the company or a Beachbody Coach. Make sure you are getting original DVD’s. People are selling copies all over. The problem is how long will they last, P90x workout ,and you truly need the exercise and nutrition guide to even follow the program. You can go to any site or you can go and click on products.
