I think my first post was a subconscious way of asking Mr. Busiek not to do anything remotely close to that. I know there are alot of writers out there whose first instincts are to go for the cheap jokes, or to exploit past history of the character to make dumb plot points. I guess I just hope that Kurt Busiek isn't one of those writers, and I don't think he is!! --Previous Message-- : Well, I thought you were blaming Busiek for : using clear as a connection to the drug : because he was a baseball fan. : : All I'm saying is that Busiek didn't invent : the concept. But, Busiek usually does use : past history very well, so I guess we'll : see. : : --Previous Message-- : : Anyway, I just thought it was funny. I : don't really expect to see mention of : "the clear" in an Aquaman comic : again. Then again I had hoped we'd seen the : last of that water hand before OYL. So I : guess anything is possible ... even if it : shouldn't be. : : --Previous Message-- : I believe the clear was mentioned before : Busiek came on board. : : --Previous Message-- : : : Well, according to a new book called : "Game of Shadows" that (further) : details alleged drug use among certain : baseball superstars, I found it rather : interesting that one of the drugs used : extensively by said players was called : "the clear" (to differrentiate I : suppose from another referred to as : "the cream"). : : Anyway! Would anyone LEAP with me to the : conclusion that it's no coincidence?? Come : on Busiek, you're a baseball fan ... : wouldn't it be possible this Orin DNA Geist : absconded with might have other uses than : turning people into water breathers?? : : And in a recent issue Orin (yeah, because : you can't just say "Aquaman" : anymore ...) was wearing a Padres ball cap, : so he's a baseball fan too. Although you'd : think he might root for the Marlins or Devil : Rays instead ... : : : : : : :
