Have you ever run across anything about YOU that you didn’t know about?
Nah. I get Google alerts for Roger Green but it’s usually some Brit or another, although it might be a Denver musician or a high school teacher in Texas.
Just recently, someone told me there used to be a New York state assemblyman named Roger Green, as if I didn’t know. I started adding my middle initial or name to distinguish myself from him, for he, like so many other state legislators, got into legal and ethical problems.
There was a time I used to write more regularly a blog for the local newspaper. Since I was usually behind in my reading, I’d discover that the paper had excerpted part of my post, not from reading the paper, but from people telling me they saw it.
Jaquandor inquires:
Favorite Len Wein character?
#1 would have to be Swamp Thing. I know it better from the Moore-Bissette-Totleben period that Wein edited. But I discovered the Wein-Wrightson origins after that.
#2 is probably Storm, which he and Dave Cockrum developed in Giant-Size X-Men #1.
Interesting that you asked the question on the very day there was a Final JEOPARDY! answer about Len Wein.
Only the defending champion, who had been in third place, got the correct answer, which got her the win.
So Wolverine is probably #3.
But I also liked the characters he wrote that he didn’t create, such as Spider-Man in Marvel Team Up.
What do you think of egg salad? (I thought it was gross for years but I’ve recently converted.)
I ALWAYS liked egg salad. You NEED mustard if it’s to be any good.
When I was a kid, I ate it on white bread, or as we called it in those days, bread. As an adult, I developed a preference for it on seeded rye.
I like almost anything with eggs, BTW. When I’m eating out, I often order an omelet, not because I can’t make one myself – I surely can, and have since I was about 10 – but because I usually don’t have the variety of ingredients I’d need to keep fresh on hand.
