Not entirely sure how, but I think Toby may have hurt himself while Googling.

Wow

Watching Captain America in preparation for the Avengers tomorrow.

....Holy Hopping Hand Grenades, what a horrifically clumsy attempt to subvert national and ethnic stereotypes in his task force!

Hmmm

Watching Thor now--we are fortified by iPads to entertain ourselves during the boring bits which is, admittedly, most of it. And I realize that all these movies are in the same continuity--as much as that word can be used--and I notice that people are baffled when this guy claiming to be Thor falls from the sky.

In a world where Captain America hit the headlines two generations ago, Tony Stark is flying drunk in power armor, and I don't know what all else, supers should ALWAYS be a working hypothesis!

Hey, Thor waxes.

Hmmm pt. 2

So now that Thor has been wrested from the Feds and is sitting in a bar drinking boilermakers with the random fatherly thesis advisor, we're talking about the next step in getting Thor settled into the modern world and getting a job.


"AT&T, this is Thor. How may I provide you with excellent customer service today? ... I'm going to have to ask you to unplug your router, blow on both ends of the cable, and plug them back in again."



That is possibly not as funny if you're not here with us. :)


ETA: if you haven't seen Thor, please be advised that there is a ninja in Asgard.
