1. Your laidback nature, which has turned curmudgeonly in your old age. Oh, and you have nice eyes.
2. Donal McGillavry (Scottish Rising war song. If you haven't heard it, I'll see if I can find it somewhere).
3. Just see each other again and hang out, damnit.
4. He was a buddha baby, wasn't he?
5. Sitting on my couch and flirting with two women, thinking both "wow, that's... interesting" and later "he's how old? You're fucking kidding me."
6. "To go for a drink is one thing. To be driven to it is another." -- Michael Collins in a letter during the Anglo-Irish Treaty negotiations.
7. Are you planning to have more wee ones, or are you content with the wee revolutionary you have?

Favorite comic EVAR?

I'm almost embarrassed to admit this.

Marvel Star Wars issue #56 (http://www.rebelscum.com/photo.asp?image=/comics/mvsw056feb.jpg&text=Star%20Wars%2056).

Lando returns to Bespin after Empire and discovers the Ugnaughts have staged a labor revolt, placing bombs around the city; apparently the new Imperial administration is not particularly good to the blue collar space aliens.

A damaged Lobot, shot in the head and left for dead by the Ugnaughts or Imperials, I forget which, hunts Lando and an Imperial bomb squad unit through the city.

Great cliffhanger ending, with Lando being kicked over the side and plummeting towards Bespin, below.

Bought it when it first came out in the '80s, long before I was anywhere near a comic store; I had to buy them at grocery stores and drugstores off of spinner racks.

The following issue? Didn't get a copy. Had no idea how the cliffhanger resolved. I knew it DID, since Lando returned in Jedi.

Finally got the next issue when I was in my late twenties.

Oh, and it totally sucked. Hated the resolution to the "Lando plummeting" problem.

In terms of pure set-up, though? Marvel Star Wars 56 was a wonderful issue.
