    Some of you guys in here could go professional. I'm convinced of it.

    If i was a SNL writing talent director, i'd at least give ya a shot.

    Sorry but if ya couldn't write funny under pressure deadlines, i'd have to fire ya. That's show business. 😉

    Going out on a limb here because this guy was a tremendous athlete,
    and had one of my favorite comic book catch phrases of all time.

    Livin' thing - ELO
    The thing.

    Also 'Turn to stone' by ELO would be a complimentary bookend song for the Thing as
    it describes what happened to him. B) Shades on and feeling pretty full of myself right now.
