So I purchased the Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Vol 3. It collects issues 154-175 of Claremont's run on Uncanny X-Men (more or less the Brood Saga) but that's not all. It also contains the Wolverine and Magik limited series, and "God Loves, Man Kills". This is the first time I read some of these stories in glorious colour, since I had read most of them in Essential format before.
The Masterworks forewords by Louise Simonson are included, as well as the letters pages, and in the back there are OHotMU entries for most of the X-Men related characters who had been relevant in the book from 1963 to 1983. There are even entries on Cerebro and Cyclops' visor to geek out over.
It's a wonderful omnibus.

95 °F here today. There is a smog alert for the region I live in, and they've warned us that the tap water might be a bit brownish due to overuse of water draining the reservoirs to their lowest levels.
Also I'm sweltering.

As a Canadian, I wish to apologize to the rest of the universe for the existence of this woman. She throws a tantrum because the clinic she took her kid to doesn't have "white" doctors. "What kind of a horrible country do I live in?" she asks. The horror, the horror... what will it be next? Being seen by a ginger doctor? An overweight one, a southpaw, or even a doctor who roots for the Boston Bruins? The horror! Won't anyone think of the children? I am f**** ashamed to be a human being right now. sorry to read this, sounds like this woman is a philosophical cousin to Pauline Hanson. Personally I've always actively-preferred a Rainbow Medical Community for reasons beyond morals or ethics; medical advancement and improvement of treatment-techniques have always been faster-and-best when a melting-pot of ideas, practices and traditions sit down together for a cerebral buffet, arguably proven by the 'La Convivencia'.

Signs you are getting old:
When getting up from your seat, you uncontrollably say "Oy"
Signs you are getting even older
When getting up from your seat, you are now saying "Oofah"

Signs you are getting old:
you know who 'Placebo' is
you know what prog-rock 'was'.
you don't accept that classic horror films began after 1983
you know that 'slasher' and 'horror' are separate genres.
you prefer horror to slasher.
you dig rob zombie music clips but can't stand his use of the 'f' word in lieu of viable script in his films (except El Superbeasto).
you are more turned on by 1950's Frazetta G-rated illustrations of people vs recent iterations of Harley Quinn.

Placebo, as in the guys who did 'This Picture' and 'Pure Morning', or is there a different Placebo?

This looks like it's gonna be a pretty sweet seventh season.

Can we leave the Politics thread permanently locked? That would make me ever so happy.
Cei-U! I summon an end to the acrimony

However the only problem would be if that type of comments/posts started to sneak in to other threads more so then now. Which I think would be worse if that happened.

I strongly disagree. There is a way to have a civilized conversation where people argue (strongly at times, even passionately) without insulting each other. In fact, the thread has managed to do just that for a very long stretch with only a few flare ups. My hat is off to all the posters, on both sides of the political spectrum and in the middle, who contributed to so many spirited and generally respectful exchanges.
I also think that having a politics thread helps us keep all other threads politics-free, thus ensuring that if an argument degenerates, there's only one thread to lock.

My thoughts on Cei-U & bor's posts:
I went into the politics thread a few times. I have decided to avoid it because it gets toxic. And I may be wrong but haven't we lost some posters over that thread? But if the thread is gone then it will spill over into other threads.
And I do get annoyed when politics spill over into other threads sometimes derailing them. And that would be very disruptive to the overall board.
