2) (while watching Mary Poppins, scene where she flies in) “AAHH! It’s Julie Andrews! Here to destroy us all!”
The funny never stops. Just got back from mandatory fun. Pictures tomorrow.
Seriously though, the car port has been nothing but trouble. They used to be unmarked, so our first neighbors and us used to have a silent battle over the spot closest to the door (about 3 feet closer by the way). Then our neighbors moved out, and they labeled the ports, but got ours backward, labeling ours as the one further from the door. So when our next neighbor moved in, we accepted our fate and used our mislabeled spot. Then he moved out, leaving us with the port. Today we got a call from housing, asking us to move our car to the other spot, because our new neighbors were moving in. We could call and complain that every other house on the block has the ports labeled the other way (putting us closer to the door), but to keep this battle going will only suck us further into the hole.
And if Mary Poppins wanted to, she could burn London to the ground. I guess you could classify her as a telekinetic and a telepathic. She can fly, she can animate objects, she can shrink objects, she can induce hallucinations. Amy and I just finished the Dark Phoenix saga. I’d say a fight between Jean Gray and Mary Poppins would be quite a spectacle.
…i’d love to see Mary Poppins eat a sun.
Well I’d like to see London destroyed by the chaos of their battle.
And I’d love to see Jean Grey’s Boobs…that’s really all i want to see…boobs…ever….
Mary Poppins is a total drug movie.
we were watching it last night, and I guess I haven’t seen it since I was young or something, because all I could think was HOLY CRAP this is so trippy.
And Jean Gray has a slammin’ rack.
3 more days…..*gush* my parents want to meet Alan by the way…apparently my father feels that he needs to “Meet the man that has taken away my Amy, and make sure he’s good for her.” lol i love my dad.
awwwwww I <3 yr dad, too. I SHALL COME BEARING COOKIES, probably Sunday. ZOMG SUNDAY.
Perhaps I’ll wear that adorable Christmas sweater, you know, with the elastic waist and the embroidery of Santa leading his reindeer.
People get really upset when I tell them Mary Poppins is a drug movie. It’s like I’m ripping their last bastion of childhood innocence away. But come on, she gives them a “spoonful of sugar” and then things start moving on their own and they start seeing shit in the street tiles.
well that’s what started the whole xmen vs. poppins argument. Alan would argue that she can obviously conjure/manipulate objects telekinetically. If it really came down to blows, and somebody really pissed her off, she could do some hard core damage.
I would argue she’s just really really fucked up on something.
This is where being a geek changes your perception of things, apparently. Everything is a super power to that guy.
she doesn’t actually do any of these things, it just appears to the drugged up people that things are happening…they are all fucking high because its the only thing they can afford…toppins a bag.
Agree with the drug thing. There’s also an anticapitalism theme (the father’s name is George Banks).
Yeah, there is a socio-political undertone to the entire movie.
it amazes me that you guys picked up on that!
Look,
Mary Poppins could do anything she wants… but Jean Grey, she’s got red hair, which means she’s certifiably crazy. Hence,the Dark Phoenix, and hence all the hell fire she would reign. I love M.P. but she’s no match for the pure destructive power of Ms. Marvel.
I’m with Jeff on this one. If you look at the stats, its pretty clear but say it came down to reinforcements. So Mary Poppins has what. Dick Van Dyke, a bunch of skinny heroin chic chimney sweeps, an old guy that does enough opium he thinks he’s floating like bubbles in his extremely high roofed house and the ever so popular Pigeon Lady with her army of rogue pigeons (who I would like to submit is Mary Poppins’ evil twin).
So we’ll have to look at Jean Grey pre-bonkers (cause after that she had the x-men the Shi’ar and the rest of the universe wanting her destruction). Let’s see. Her boyfriend shoots fucking optic blasts, a big Russian guy with metal for skin, short hairy bezerker rage filled guy with adamantium claws…….well, its pretty fucking clear.
And if it did in fact come down to a wet t-shirt contest (as it probably would) Jean Grey definitely has the killer rack.
Game. Set. Tits.
Ian, you’re my hero.
In Mary Poppins’ defense, she is a benevolent woman, so we’ve never seen the true extend of her destructive power. Maybe she could actually consume a sun, destroy a shi’ar warship, or defeat Gladiator’s Imperial Guard. We just don’t know.
Mary can fly. Mary can snap her fingers and make objects move at will. She wields control over the animal kingdom, after making them cartoons and thus indestructible. I saw this other movie with Mary Poppins in it where she made the hills alive with only the sound of music, thus she has control of the Earth. And finally, boobs, at age 46 no less:

I do believe I just looked into the eyes of God…
Jean Grey doesn’t stand a chance.
[...] you all have seen this, but in response to that wacky Mary Poppins vs Jean Grey thing that happened a few weeks ago, please enjoy this Scary Mary [...]
