I think "Suicide squid" goes back to the old pre-www usenet discussions. It's truly a classic game! "Suicide Squid" is indeed from usenet, but it was originally a typo, not a one-letter-off game entry. From www.ibiblio.org/netcomics/faq3.html:"Short answer: Suicide Squid is the de facto r.a.c. mascot. Squiddy was accidently created in April, 1991 when a netter wanted to ask the question "Can someone tell me what's going on in Suicide Squad?" and typed an "i" for the "a" in Squad. Many netters responded with what had been going on in the Suicide Squid comic, which was a pretty good trick since it didn't really exist. People then tried to reconcile the different versions of the comic, and it mushroomed from there. Suicide Squid is now used in r.a.c. posts for a generic comic book title when one is needed, or as a way of commenting satirically on various events in comics. The current writer/artist of the book is usually said to be Alonzo Mori, and the SS fan club is the Black Ink Irregulars. The annual r.a.c. Awards are often refered to as the Squiddies, and the r.a.c. team in the last three San Diego Comicon trivia contests has gone by the name of the Black Ink Irregulars (and won all three years)." note: "r.a.c." = rec.arts.comics, the name of the usenet newsgroup where comics discussion took place. |

Reading Bleeding Cool yesterday, I realized that Rich has been playing this game for years. There's a current article that refers to Half Jordan... I guess Half Jordan is an alien GL trainee under Hal's tutelage, whose culture applies the "Half <teacher's name>" moniker when you are mentoring under someone. Half Jordan  |

Half Jordan Actually, not the first time that happened to Hal: Twice? I see it, but I don't believe it. And here I thought I was doing the concept some dignity by not making Half Jordan a "short" joke. But no, there's gotta be two literal Half Jordans running around out there. |

Wouldn't half a Green Lantern be either blue or yellow?
Could be a conundrum fixing that either way, given the ring's helplessness against yellow.

We've no doubt mentioned the lonely, frustrated Cimmerian here before, but I couldn't find the poor devil. I speak of Onan the Barbarian.
