Yes I know right? Like what? This actually is the SCORPIONS.
Pretty much the same exact vibe / theme / groove as FSD co-founder Alexander Zahradnik’s novel-in-progress “MAJESTIC”. Everyone who was there at Molly’s Books for Mollytronix (Italian Market, Philadelphia, Summer ‘05, Italian Festival, feat. Loren Hunt, Joey Sweeney, Sam Schwartz, Erik Bader, Adam Acuragi, and Rick “Cement” Flom plus a half-keg of freshly brewed YARDS and three in-store cats) witnessed Alex’s one-time reading from the novel, and thus knows EXACTLY what we’re talking about here. There were crowds, everyone was eating sausage & peppers, the sun was insanely hot, and everyone felt it. MAJESTIC takes place mostly in a haunted forest and a place called Powder Valley — which is real, we’ve been there — and stars lots of teenaged girls. But as far as General Ord, this vid has the FEELING.
Bjork “Wanderlust”. This is like, exactly what we’re talking about.
Here is information for you, dutiful denizen if Spring One, 2008. Four key pieces to no puzzle at all. As ever, enjoy in good health, and if you’re gonna make it, please: make it a Miltonian.
ONE: Crystal Castles. It’s Now, sure, but it’s also Meh. Atari Teenage Riot is a decade and a half ago, and you drop the needle on one of their slabs today and it’ll STILL slaps you in the face. Crystal Castles is Atari Twenty-Something Blog Hype. In Spring One we’ve got an Internet Links Limit — we try to only click four a day. Crystal Castles is number five. Do not want.
TWO: UbuWeb. Ready to KICK YOUR ASS into Avant-Garde high-gear? Head there NOW with about four free hours on your clock. Jack in. Come up for air. Back again. Return awesome. As for tonight, our Evening Ubu will be a 30-minute Dinner with Henry Miller. It’s really that cool over there.
THREE: Fassbinder’s Ali: Fear Eats the Soul is hands down the saddest and most beautiful film we have ever seen anywhere, ever. It crushed us.
This article is pretty much the Highest Level Complete Suckitude that you could ever possibly imagine, and it reminds us, those of the Miltonian Persuasion, the reason why when we hear the term “Our Generation” we always invariably reach for our revolver, only to suffer further disappointment when it gets mistaken for the Beatles album. Besides coining the term ‘Broakland’ (for Poverty Jetsetting Hipsters who live in BOTH Oakland and Brooklyn, duh), and basically saying that the spirit of DIY = Make Lots of Money that You Don’t Have to Share, perhaps the key to its ideology is this quote, “You can make money in both cities,” Ms. Levine said. “Can you make money in Portland, Ore.? It’s a cool city, it’s got lots of hipsters, but can you make money?”.Good question, right? Here’s what we always thought: free things are round (sun, stars, lakes), square things are rectangular (driveways, lawns, dollar bills), What We Want is Free, so where’s the confusion here brother? Sometimes people miss the point so hard because they’re making a new point. We were there, at the Vampire Weekend show at the Doug Fir. We know what you look like. We don’t dislike you, and we have no problems with the cash in your pocket or how you care to spend it. We just want you to know that there’s a better way, always has been, always will be. That’s the point we’re trying to make here. We’re still your friends, and you’re still our fellow Miltonians. Dig? Right on…
We’re not kidding. Thanks to the the WordPress Blogging Technology that creates your Daily Miltonian, we know for a fact that ever day, at least once but usually more than once, someone on the Internet does a Google search for Hulk vs. Silver Surfer, and they tend to find our post, made one year ago. The majority of the random traffic the DM enjoys is because of this endless search, this urge to know, not Would Hulk Beat Silver Surfer, or Silver Surfer Defeats Hulk — no one searches these things. No. All people want is the match itself. Hulk. Versus. Silver Surfer. Here are the past years worth of comments on said post. As always, we encourage you: keep ‘em coming. The fight has only just begun.

Ya’ see - the issue gets complicated when you look at the different incarnations of the hulk and the silver surfer. Let’s say we’re ignoring the “”Ultimate” versions of both of these characters (the Ultimate Galactus storyline by Warren Ellis is fracking AMAZING but it downgrades the Silver Surfer severely so we’re ignoring it). That simplifies things a bit, but we still have to deal with whether we’re talking about stupid hulk (Banner mind suppresed) or smart hulk (Banner mind present). Let’s assume b/c they’re fighting that it’s big ol’ dumb hulk who crushes first and asks questions, well… never.Here’s the deal - the Hulk is well-neigh unstoppable. You could probably kill him by: 1) feeding him a nuke for breakfast or 2)using Wolverine’s Adamantium claws (or any Adamantium weapon) and, with massive force, cutting off his head or removign vital organs. But hey now, this is a MARVEL battle - no one should get eviscerated like that (espesh not an icon). So it’s all about incapacitation. In this case, the Silver Surfer wins. Here’s why: he can travel through f***ing SPACE, dude. All he has to do is body check or yank the Hulk out into space and the hulk is outta’ the fight. Right?Edit Comment
The Hulk in contrast to other superheroes might be more powerful and stronger, but that doesnt hold a stick to the insane speed and power of the Silver Surfer. The dude travels close to the speed of light? Which is is approximately 186,282.397 miles per second! Thats incomprehensible to me! This guy is faster then Santa Claus on Christmas eve! Now Im sure it would not be the Silver Surfers intention to kill the Hulk! Which he could! The bro has has the power of the universe at his command! All sorts of cosmic shit! Fuck gamma bombs, the dude could tap into Solar Energy Alone and Destroy Thor, The Thing, Dr Strange, Iron Man, and the Hulk Together. But why would he? Forget Having to toss Hulk into Outerspace that would be a waste of time for Norrin. All he would have to do is unleash just a small tad bit of all that cosmic space voodo cryptic power he has, even just in a mere fraction of a second before the Hulk attempts to even think about doing anything, and the Silver Surfer could have been to MENOMONIE, Wisconsin Grabbed a juicy fat sizzling hamburger with our boy Julian, made a quickstop in Portland knock down a few pints of beer with Erik at the Crow Bar, Dropped off some early wedding presents for the Bones back in Philly, and then said fuck it let me pick up Wild Al in Brooklyn and take him out for a quick jaunt out to Ohio For some of those dangerously delicious dope ass Cheese Dogs I saw posted last month on this page, then gone back to meet up for the fight, even before the Hulk knew what happened.
All of this without having to use one of those crazy ass Cosmic Power Punches he throws.
Surfer wins. See first post. Erik knows my take on this. he can drop him in space and leave. And as I told Bader before… the Rhino once charged the Surfer and the Surfer stopped him with ONE HAND. I don’t think he’d even have to go into space. The guy is just wicked powerful.
In other news… he’s faster than light. Remember when he went and got Reed Richards to take him to Galactus’s side because the big G needed a doctor? Just one fantabulous instance of the Surfer in hyperspace.
The Hulk’s only chance is to keep the battle in an atmosphere, and to get mad until he gets strong enough to do damage to Surf. Since no being in the universe is immune to physical damage say under Eternity, then the Surfer can be beat. I am sure that The Hulk could do it. But likely not alone. On a strength level, the Hulk can surpass the Surfer for sure. The Hulk was able to go toe to toe with Thanos. The only problem might be the energy blasts. He is missing the speed it would take to avoid them all. If the Hulk were somehow lent some sort of energy damage resistance armor which was flexible enough not to resuce his movement speed, then the Hulk rules on his strength! Fun ideas for fights!
Surfer wins no problem. Even if hulk did have the resistant armour that doesnt affect his speed, he still isnt fast enough to stop him. The kind of speed that the Silver Surfer has (which as said before is close to light speed) then strength is no matter. If he was travelling that fast and head butted The Hulk he’d go flying into space. The Hulk is slow, dimwitted and although strong, no match against the Silver Surfer.
The Power Cosmic matters not; Surfer is a pacifist. He’s lost fights to inferior opponents before.
Regardless, one facet of The Power Cosmic is the ability to absorb nigh any form of energy. If I recall correctly he’s absorbed Hulk’s gamma radiation before, forcing him to revert to Banner. Hulk #250.
Incorrect Warfield, gutting Hulk would not work. Vector of the U-Foes tried that (everything save mere bone and tendon). Hulk simply regenerated it.
Hulk has survived in deep space. He’s JUMPED into orbit before.
So what he’s faster than light. HOw often has he USED that in a fight? Hardly ever. Gladiator is able to fly pretty damn quickly and Hulk absolutely destroyed him.
In a street fight, like the one when chromedome had the obedience slug on “Saakar”, and it’s brute strength against brute strength-Hulk wins. Gloves off-Chrome Dome wins.
well, the silver surfer would probably win. if SS could fly the hulk into the sun or maybe drop him off in a black hole, he’d be toast. SS is impenitrable! invulnerable to anything and that includes the hulk’s fists. SS could also suck the gamma radiation away from hulk, thus rendering him open to a blast to the face. OR he could just turn the hulk into a snail using his ability to manipulate atoms and DNA. GOGO SS!!
All of the above images were taken exactly One Year Ago, in various locations across America. Those interested in more information concerning the Daily Miltonian Across America 2007 Adventure are encouraged to check our archives from March 2007, where further evidence can be found. All in all it was a journey that confirmed our deeply felt feelings that this is a country — deeply divided as the Media would like you to think — that is worth Giving a Shit about. There’s Magic pretty much every which way you turn. There’s a People, a People who inhabit the Places that are here — the new, the old, the about-to-be-constructed — that Mean Something unbelievably important to Us, the Proud, the Few, the Miltonian. We hope it means the same to you, our friend, our Reader.
Wow, remember that? Hard to believe, but it’s been nearly one year since Fort Saint Davids closed shop at our cozy Philadelphia offices and headed west for the Last Exit to Portland. Suffice it to say you will be celebrating our One Year Mark with us on March 12th, 2008, because we’re obsessed with dates and there’s always more room for Making a New National Holiday. Updates, of course, to follow.
Now that the Writer’s Strike has ended, life for your average writer returns back to normal. The Daily Miltonian is back. The Fort Saint Davids Quarterly is now a distant possibility once again. And Lost is getting five more episodes. Good news for us because after waiting nearly a year, the prospect of a measly eight episode season was giving us night terrors. So phew, phew. This is good. Already three episodes in, all of us present in the Entertainment/Screening Room here in the comfy FSD PNW/NW Offices agree that at this point the show is completely Right On. Intricate, well-paced, rich with detail and more cohesive than ever, we’re fairly confident that this season is going to be nothing short than a triumph.
James Turrell will be at PNCA today. I mean you either know about this and got a ticket or else you didn’t and oh well it’s sold out. But that’s where we’ll be. Yep yep.
But oh man have you been outside today? Dude it’s like the sun just wants to give ya a bit bear hug, then tousle your hair, then kiss ya all over. I can’t think of a more cuddly sun, anywhere, at any time. The minute you step outside it’s like the sun became a big, tail-wagging, slobbery dog just waiting for you to open that door and P-P-POUNCE! Lick lick lick, all over your face. It’s a sun so strong, you can high five it. So go out there and get some. This video is for you, sun-lover. Accept no substitutes, this is Today’s Vibe.
