And I am a Keanu fan. Contrary to what most believe, he is capable of acting. One just needs to watch more than bill & Ted and the matrix to see it.
Still, why don't you read the comic more often?
Follow = Twitter, Like = Facebook.
Great episode guys!
In this incarnation I am Eamonn from England.

Same goes for Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Fox's original agreements with Marvel state they are allowed to use a number of specified X-Men characters, as well as any unspecified character associated with the X-Men, created before or after their agreement. Because the Maximoffs are closely associated with the X-Men, they fall under Fox's agreements, but because they aren't directly named, Marvel also has access to them.
Anyways, judging by how bad Ireland is doing these days with people leaving the country and unemployment back to being as bad as it was in the 80's...Mike should apply for Citizenship. Ireland will be looking for people.
:-)
I wasn't commenting on the heritage thing.
Mike said I was from Ireland because I sent him some Irish Zombie comics.
As it happens my parents are from Dublin which is where my name comes from, but like my icon I'm a Brit.
1. You don't read Hellblazer
2. You're not Irish
3. You're whiny.
I need to keep listening to see if we can add a few more to that list. Keep up the good work.
Here's your first look at "Arrow."
My dad's name is "Stephen" spelled with a "P" and an "H" but he pronounces it like Steven.
And for those playing along at home, no, Rogue is not my mother.
And there is the stigma of being an American. Being an American has more negative connotations than positive.
As I have been studying Irish history I have learned that they have had their ups and downs. For me their history is far more interesting than America's. It also covers more than 200 years. This makes a significant difference on its own.
Even the Irish are descended fom somewhere else. I think it might be the region we call Spain today. So, at the end of the day...we all come from somewhere else.
Americas history is written in blood, tears and sacrifice by the immigrants that came here. A truly great nation. There is no greater sense of belonging than being an American citizen. It was America that became a beacon and a guiding light for the world to follow. Irelands constitution was based on the United States.
Fuck the world if it has a negative connotation of what it is to be American. Be proud and hold your head up high. America has offered the world more positives than negatives. History proves that. America is still a work in progress.
And if it wasn't for the US...we'd all be speaking German.
