Getting close to the next topic. Are we keeping on the COVID theme? If so, we could use
* The Continued (Natural) Self-Quarantining of the Geeks
* The Geeks Don't Go to Camp
* 28 Geeks Later

Or we could go with Twilight of the Geeks, if it hasn't been used. In general, I don't think we'll see many new things around the corner.

Geekerdammerung

(Or, to go for an even geekier combo reference, Twilight of the Planet of the Geeks)

I actually like 28 Geeks later, though. Not only is it thematically appropriate, it's a good pun. The timescale isn't entirely accurate (it should be more like 16 Geeks Later, if we count from when shutdowns started in the US, or closer to 33 Geeks Later if we count from the end of November), but it kind of averages out well enough.

That one was easy, since I never liked him before. In fact, it seems like it's almost always the ones I don't like that turn out to be monsters (whereas the ones I do like merely turn out to be assholes or creeps). Maybe I have a super-power. Do you think it's too late for me to join a school for gifted youngsters so I can hone my ability?

Considering how Marvel's retconned their characters over the last decade or two, you'd never be able to join any School for Gifted Youngsters with that power, because it would start pinging the moment you met any of the Headmasters or teachers.

As for Benoit, I also sort of fall into the "I never really cared all that much about him" in the past, because I always went more for personality than workrate, and Benoit only really had one of those things. But at the same time, I don't recoil in horror every time I see him show up in an old wrestling video game or PPV or similar sort of deal.

I wouldn't go actively seeking any of his matches out, but on the other hand, I wouldn't be doing that regardless.
