Is he strong? Listen bud...

My younger brother and his best friend, who I also called my brother, although he was 6'-5" tall, were obsessed comics, and with Spiderman. Obsessed.

SO much so, that brother #2 wanted to name his kid after said hero's alter ego. Sadly for him, he had a girl and decided to "save" the name for his next kid. Watch me snicker to myself as he spawns nothing but girls. I'm just saying.

Weird things come out of you when you're trying desperately to entertain a 1-1/2 year old. The other day I sang the ENTIRE theme song to the 1970's Spiderman cartoon, repeatedly, to the Kid so he'd calm the hell down. I didn't even realize I knew the words. I can only think it's from years of listening to those two fools go on and on about Spiderman. It's amazing the things your brain picks up.

NOW - is it any wonder, that my Kid enjoys nothing more, than when I sing Ramones songs to him, all day long. AND the Ramones just so happened to have covered the Spiderman theme song for and indie rock "Saturday Morning's Greatest Hits" album? Coincidence?

See how I made this post come full circle? Ah...
