Overheard at the Justice League Holiday Party
"Jeez, Aquaman, that's like your fifth appletini."
"I can fly. I can see through almost anything. I'm practicaly immortal! So don't tell me there are no more freakin' crab puffs!"
"Was it a smart idea to invite spouses and children? Y'know, considering the whole 'secret identity' thing?"
"I don't care if we are a non-profit organization. You don't have a cash omelet bar!"
"How the hell could we have called this a 'Christmas party'? This one worships the Greek gods, that one looks to the native spirits, that guy isn't even from Earth and Robin won't shut the fuck up about the Kabbalah!"
"Nine sugar cookies! I ate nine sugar cookies before you told me Gleek baked them!"
"High metabolism or not, The Flash is not having a 14th brisket."
"Tell Green Arrow and the other second-tiers to be quicker with the appetizers."
"We stick together, okay? We support one another. We're friends, got it? We're Superfriends! Now help me hide the body before the authorities arrive."
"We ran out of ice. Inform Zan it's time to make the ultimate sacrifice."

I always knew Aquaman could drink like a fish.
am I the only one who thought Wonderwoman was LAME? But then, aside from Batman, I thought all of DC's superheros were lame....
Wonder Woman was
a) superpowered
b) hot
No, I did not find her lame at all.
Hey! How can a non-profit afford to hand out appletinis and brisket? Every non-profit I've worked for has given us cookies and punch (because apparently only eight-year olds work for non-profits) at the annual "Winter Party."
And how come in a world of nigh-invulnerable super-beings, I'm harping on the incongruity of the party offerings of a non-profit? Super geeky.
And I don't want ice cubes from Zan, if you know what I mean.
"...So then Superman was all like, 'What? You don't think I can tall a leap building in a shingle bow after a couple of drinks? Wash dis...' Then he staggered forward a couple of steps and made this lame ass jump. I thought I'd piss my pants when he got hung up in his cape and landed in Aquaman's bowl of crab dip."
