Sometimes, life is funny.

I was working today when Jim called the store and told me to close up and get to this store on Route 10 right away to meet him. It turned out that he'd lucked into some really nice display racks, but only if he took them away right THEN. So, a few minutes later I'm out the door, into my minivan and driving through hamp on my way. There's a van ahead of me moving slowly through the intersection and, as a result, I don't make the light. I was just offering some choice invective to the departing slow poke when I noticed that on the side of the van was written the name "Richards".

RICHARDS!!!!



Apparently, Doom's nemesis has a day job as a plumber.

That's pretty damned funny!

*just doing a quick LJ fly-by from MI*

F.

This made me laugh twice - once when you told me over the phone, and then again, when I read it here.

Richards as a plumber by day.... Methinks you need to alert TTT about this. Perhaps they could devote their next issue to exploring this.

Wait. Does that mean that Dr. Doom's day job is as a comic book store register monkey and grad student?

Dude, it's just part of the business empire Reed has created from patenting all that stuff he creates. He's got to put the money somewhere.

Of course, he's forgotten he created that business empire. It's probably being run as a front by the Kingpin at this point.

Either that or it's really run by Keef Richards. (Who may be related to Reed, in which case Dr. Doom should be trying to kill the Rolling Stones.)

heh

"in which case Dr. Doom should be trying to kill the Rolling Stones.)"

Hmmm. Perhaps Doom should do this in any case.

Just, you know, because.

Wow, would that be a battle to see!

Keef is invulnerable to any known means of harming him, due to years of abusing substances both mundane (booze) and things so obscure Congress hasn't gotten around to declaring them controlled.

Witness the public thrashing he gave to Paul McCartney after Macca cancelled his concerts in Australia for "security reasons" in the wake of the Bali bombing. "Bring it on, Ossama!" said Keef, who also went on to say he'd enjoy his tour of Australia even if his plane got blown up. Keef knows he'd survive that, although he does not look forward to the wim to Australia. (He went on to call Macca a wuss, and stated that letting terrorists dictate whether you could rock or not was a bad idea.)

Doom vs. Keef: coming soon in a 6 issue limited series.

OMFG, suddenly I know why every accursed pirate in Pirates of the Caribbean looked so familiar: they all look like Keith Richards! (Richards!!!)

No wonder he's indestructible.

Fortunately, Doom is a master of they mystic arts, as well as of science. Doom shall crush the fool, Richards, when the time comes!!
