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?

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.
