The Tofu Z does move. Just saying...

Kicked Scott's Z to the grass so my Z could come out to breath some fresh air!


And yes the hood still doesn't close yet.

IB is smart, they're ramping up the mods in this section with the anticipation of Shins return in 2 weeks. 1 mod was ok before, but now that there's a new Shin in town....

Long time ago in the Batman series they introduced a new Robin that most of the true DC fans eventually grew to hate. They wrote a story where he was involved in an explosion and then let the fans vote to decide if he should die or not.
Maybe we should vote on New Shin or Original Shin?

There have been several Robins: Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake and Damian Wayne.


"A Death in the Family"

In 1988, Dennis O'Neil suggested that an audience might be attracted to the comics by being offered the opportunity to influence the creative process.[7] Settling on the idea of telephone poll via a 1-900 number, O'Neil had decided due to discussions with DC Comics president Jenette Kahn that the poll should not be wasted on something insignificant. O'Neil settled on using the poll to determine the fate of the new Robin. O'Neil said, "The logical candidate was Jason because we had reason to believe that he wasn't that popular anyway. It was a big enough stunt that we couldn't do it with a minor character."[8] Even though Jason Todd was unpopular with readers, O'Neil could not decide what to do with the character, so he opted to present the choice to the readership.[7]

The vote was set up in the four-part story "A Death in the Family" that was published in Batman #426–429 in 1988. At the end of Batman #427, Todd was beaten by the Joker and left to die in an explosion. The inside back cover of the issue listed two 1-900 numbers that readers could call to vote for the character's death or survival. Within the 36 hour period allotted for voting, the poll received 10,614 votes. The verdict in favor of the character's death won by a slim margin of 5,343 votes to 5,271.[9] The following issue of Batman, issue 428, was published featuring Todd's death. Years later, O'Neil would admit hundreds of votes in the "Jason Dies" line came from a single person, adding a large degree of uncertainty to the honesty of results regarding a poll designed to determine the character's popularity. "I heard it was one guy, who programmed his computer to dial the thumbs down number every ninety seconds for eight hours, who made the difference", O'Neil said in a Newsarama interview conducted alongside writer Judd Winick during the "Under The Hood" arc.[10] Based on O'Neil's information that figures out to 320 votes over 8 hours from one person or roughly six percent of the death line's total calls. O'Neil would later repeat the claim with further specifics: "I heard it was a lawyer who was using a MacIntosh and lived in California — I obviously don’t have hard information on this, but I heard someone out there programmed his computer to dial it every couple of minutes, and since there was only about 65 votes that made the difference, if that story is true, that guy, that guy killed Jason Todd!"[11]

Nope, Jason Todd was brought back to life by Ras al Ghul and in the process went insane. He then took up the Joker's old alias as the Red Hood.

Just went there today. It's a pretty friendly for the non Asians. Lots of room between isles and pretty big open place, they even have 4 sofas for the me-dangs.

Prices were pretty much on par for a non nva Asian market. Chicken breast 149-199/lb beef in the 3.99-7.99 range. Be nice if they had fish tanks rather then fish on ice. Over all it's not a bad option. No better then going to lotte but closer.

I'd say it's on par with the one in laurel.

I think it's safe to say I'll be going down the road to Giant from now on...

With a Giant discount card I'd say it's no different from Safeway's prices. And I walked in and literally couldn't find any of my "go to" items when I do my grocery shopping. And since I don't really cook Asian food at home I had no idea what I was looking at or should look for. Perhaps you'd say this is a time to learn new things, but when I grocery shop I can go to any Safeway-get what I want and be back to the car in under 20 minutes.

I'd gladly drive a few miles up the road to Giant solely for the convenience and peace of mind. But that's just me...
