No, not THAT kind of rating…though I was a YN…. (img: US Navy)
I was talking with colleague and friend Jason Sacks of Comics Bulletin about reviews, and he mentioned that people like to see stars, they like the neat little blurbs that encapsulate everything in tiny, bite-size pieces. Now, while I’d obviously like the readership to dive into the nitty-gritty, I can certainly understand his point (especially since he’s one of my syndicates).
So, here’s what Ah’m gunna du:

Sad that the creator now needs the creation.
You would think that after creating a successful game such as Operation, John Spinello would be a wealthy man. After all, it’s generated tens of millions of dollars for Milton Bradley and its successor, Hasbro, having been touched such cultural cornerstones as The Simpsons to Disney. But it didn’t.
And now, the creator of Operation is in need of an operation himself…but Spinello cannot afford the $25000 needed for his oral surgery.

As my friend Steve pointed out on his blog, a group of us were discussing the news about Benedict Cumberbatch being offered the part of Doctor Strange. And of course like any conversation regarding said actor, the name game immediately began:
- Benzine Charizard
Bandersnatch Cummerbund(I actually wrote “Cummerbund Bandersnatch”, but no worries)- Bumblebee Canadagoose
- Benedictine Camerastand
- Bandicoot Crabapple
- Barrelknocker Crunchlist
- Benghazi Corbomite
- Beezelbub Cocacola
- Boomstick Curtaincall
- Bubblegum Casablanca
And then added later on by me and Steve:
- Bumbershoot Cabbagepatch
- Beetlejuice Clydesdale
- Babbletongue Carbonation
And still added later by the group:
- Benedict Bumblesnatch
- Babyboots Cucumber
- Boobyhatch Cucaracha
- Butteredbuns Conflagration
- Bridezilla Chromium
- Bricabrac Cuttlefish
The fact that the actor takes it in stride is just proof why Bubbagump Cantaloupe is one of the finest thespians of his generation.
