You Might be a Skrull (UPDATED)

UPDATE 9/14--I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS ENTRY DOUBLE POSTED, BUT SINCE WE'VE REPLIES TO BOTH, I'M NOT SURE THAT WE CAN CONSOLIDATE THEM. SO FOR SANITY'S SAKE, PLEASE POST YOUR RESPONSES TO THIS ONE AND IGNORE THE ONE BELOW. IF GLENN CAN WORK HIS MAGIC TO PUT THEM TOGETHER, I'M SURE HE WILL. (Further update: Glenn has locked the comments thread on the other one while he tries to figure out how to migrate them here. Glenn will aslo stop talking about himself in third person any minute now. --GH)

I channel surfed past a clip of Jeff Foxworthy at around the same time I was trying to think of what I'd do for my next "But I Digress."

And I put the two together.

You know his whole "You might be a redneck.." thing? Like, "If your parents met at a family reunion, you might be a redneck." Well, Skrulls have green necks, which is close. So here's the challenge: In the spirit of Jeff Foxworthy, come up with those little hints that might make you come to the realization that you might well be a Skrull. If I get enough of them, I'll make a column out of it.

You might be a Skrull if...

1. You grasp Mike's nuances on a first reading of his comments...or even on a third.

2. You read any of my comments critical of PAD and say, "Yes, Jeff really hit the nail on the head this time; PAD should be ashamed!"

3. You come to this blog truly believing PAD's point of view will have reversed itself completely to an adoration of the current Administration's brilliant foresight since you read it yesterday.

(Apparently I'm 33% Skrull.)

* if your idea of a feel-good heart-warming movie is Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

* if you are almost as good an Elvis impersonator as Nicholas Cage.

* if you're not white but you can reliably hail a taxi.

If you have to wonder why the She-Hulk won't return your calls after you posted on-line that your favorite FF was the one where she was in the skin mag, you get the idea.

If you SITLL can't get over feeling pissy that the US Mint adding new colors to money, yeah, okay.

If you think Kermit is a friggin' whiner, need I go there?

Is there a deadline for this? There are a couple of posters here who have dumped on others for their lack of humor whose overwhelming hilarity I look forward to. I'd hate to think their skillful timing might cause them to miss out on Peter's challenge.

If you think that people mistyping while trying to be funny and also trying to dress their son to get him to the schoolbus in ten minutes is hysterical, then, well, yeah, you've got a decent sense of humor. Unless you're Jerry. If you're Jerry, then you're a Skrull.
