Re: I was a friend of UltraSpice, Dominos, Lisan and frybrea

Holy shit, what a massacre that just occurred at DN! Did I miss anyone who got banned? :shock: Lisan Al-Gaib - what the hell did you do to get banned over there? I thought you were pretty civil.

Anyone else remember a cartoon series about Thor, doing a kind of Superman/Clark Kent thang (IIRC) in the modern world? Can't remember the title, but I remember watching it as a kid.
