Summer of Love: Calla Lily Division

The final quadrant of the Summer of Love bracket has been revealed!

• Claw Society (SecSoc/Weapon X by Kamiza) vs. Adamantium Skrullmate (Checkmate/Skrulls by KansasHoops)
• Hitler’s Wristwatch (Thule/Kang by Stubarnes) vs. Box Full of Evil (BPRD/Legionnaires by Jaxxin)The
• Looney Bin (Arkham/Alpha Flight by Captain Spud) vs. Pâté de FOES IG-ras (Injustice Gang/Future Foes by Flashback81)
• /r/ moar cards (Infinity Watch/Negative Zone by Soshi Kenpachi) vs. CrimeWatch (Underworld/Crime Lords by Majestic)

This is a really fun division– it has the BPRD squaring off against the Thule Society, but even more entertaining: Claw Society and Adamantium Skrullmate, two decks we paired up before we had any decklists, are both Wolverine legend decks attempting to exploit different versions of the Short Stack to maul their opponent’s face. That is going to be one seriously brutal match to watch.

Note that with the last division up, the Prom choices have now opened up, as has the Gamblin’ Circle. Head over and start making your picks!

Summer of Love: The Prom

Ah, the prom. The glory of neo-debutantes and social climbers, the bane of geeks and nerds. Is there any other place where worlds collide with such… oh, I don’t know the word, but it’s certainly such.

And now, with the Summer of Love rolling out, it’s time for everyone to cast their votes. Couples are filing in, gossip is circling through the social cliques - which couple are going to take the crown as the 2008 Summer of Love Prom King & Queen?

SUMMER OF LOVE

There comes a time each year, a special time, after the rebirth of Spring, with its bouncing baby bunnies and fragrant blossoms, but before the cool touch of Auttumn, with its kaleidoscope of leafy colour and the gentle promise of snuggling by a warm, cosy fire.Yes, I’m talking about the heady, lazy, crazy days of Summer. When a boy’s head turns to thoughts of baseball in vacant lots, swimming holes and thick slices of watermelon, while young girls slip on their poodle skirts and skip down to the malt shoppe to listen to the juke box… hang on, I’m totally out of era, aren’t I…

Caption Contest #9

After a week’s hiatus, it’s time to get back to the shenanigans.

I make no apologies for this week’s picture. Seriously. You should have seen what Professor Power was originally yelling… at least I *think* it’s meant to be Professor Power… I’m pretty sure the guy on the receiving end of Cap’s… um… exertions is the Controller.
