Aquaman, Aquaman/Does whatever an oyster can…

Whenever my wife and I are discussing DC Comics superhero Aquaman (which happens more often than you might expect), she always refers to him without placing any emphasis on the “man” syllable in his name. So, instead of Aquaman, noble King of Atlantis, you’re left with just plain aquaman–like it’s an occupation no different than a policeman or fireman, or a last name like Gilman (heh) or Schwartzman.
“Frank Aquaman, could you please come to the white courtesy phone? Frank Aquaman to the white courtesy phone.”
Personally, I find it rather appropriate considering Aquaman is universally recognized as the lamest superhero ever. Speaking of which, this seems like an excellent opportunity to link to Seanbaby’s hilarious Super Friends page. Be forewarned, however, that the site contains a fair amount of rough language and may not be appropriate for all audiences.
Meanwhile, the two-disc release of The Two Towers is out on DVD today. I won’t make the same mistake I made with Fellowship, though. I’m waiting for the Extended Edition–no matter how badly I’d like to see it again right now.
