			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://pcphd.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/img_0138.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1227" title="IMG_0138" src="http://pcphd.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/img_0138.jpg?w=224&#038;h=300" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>For months I have been reading about an item on the secret McDonald&#8217;s secret menu called the Land, Air, and Sea Burger. According to internet lore this sandwich contains a hamburger patty, a chicken patty, a Filet-O-Fish patty on one bun and can be requested but is not on the regular menu. An Esquire article about mysterious burger can be found <a title="Land, Air, and Sea Burger" href="http://www.esquire.com/blogs/food-for-men/mcdonalds-land-sea-air-burger-6561908">here</a>. Today, after talking about it for months, two of my friends and I went to a local McDonald&#8217;s and attempted to order this culinary monstrosity. We requested the Land, Air, and Sea Burger by name and the McDonald&#8217;s employee taking our order claimed to have never heard of it.</p>
<p><span id="more-1226"></span>When we explained what it was she passed us off to her manager who also declared ignorance. He explained that we could order three sandwiches and put them together ourselves though, so we did. Actually, we only ordered a small hamburger, and a crispy chicken patty, and a Filet-O-Fish patty. We found out that this was a suitable option because the chicken and fish patties cost about half what the entire sandwich does. All total the Land, Air, and Sea Burger cost $4.09 (not counting the cost of the Tums that I took later.) It burger was much better than I thought it would be. Unfortunately, the chicken and fish flavor overpowered the hamburger and I wish I had gotten a Quarter Pounder instead of the small burger. Maybe we&#8217;ll try the Angry Leprechaun next time.</p>

The contrivance is that my tweleve-year-old self, living in 1984, is reviewing comic books and coming to vastly different conclusions than I do. The first column can be found <a title="My Twelve-Year-Old Self Reviews Kingdom Come" href="http://pcphd.wordpress.com/2011/02/16/my-twelve-year-old-self-reviews-kingdom-come/" target="_blank">here.</a> In today&#8217;s posting my twelve-year-old-self reviews all ten volumes of Brian K. Vaughn&#8217;s <em>Y: The Last Man</em>, a wonderful series that I encourage everyone to read. My twelve-year-old self appears to feel differently though in his writings below.<span id="more-1197"></span></p>
<div>
<div>
<p>I&#8217;m back writing another review of things I read. It took me so long to do this one because I just finished the last book and because I&#8217;m mad. I was told that I could read a series of ten comic book books for free and all I had to do was write this. I knew that it was too good to be true and I was right. The dude who gave me the books lied to me. <em>Y: The Last Man</em> isn&#8217;t a comic book. It&#8217;s a book with drawings and nothing else.  There are no superheroes in it. No one has superpowers or saves the world. No super-villains try to take over the world. There are no hot superwomen with big boobs. Nothing. A comic book needs to have all of these things. It&#8217;s part of the definition of a comic book. Look it up and you will see that I&#8217;m right. This story has a lot of walking and talking. Why would anyone buy a book that is about walking and talking? It&#8217;s like <em>Lord of Rings</em> without the cool stuff.</p>
<p>I think when people get old they start to smell weird and they forget what is cool. It&#8217;s like this. Every week we have to go to my grandma and grandpa&#8217;s house. While I&#8217;m there I can&#8217;t watch tv, I can&#8217;t bring my electronic football game, I can&#8217;t even bring toy cars. What can I do? Sit at the table, eat dinner, and then listen to my mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa talk. If I start to talk too much my dad gives me a look that means that I shouldn&#8217;t talk about cool things. Instead I should listen to them talk about boring stuff like old people they know and how things were 100 years ago when they were young. On top of that, we have to eat lots of vegetables while we are there. My point is that they could do anything they want. They could eat hamburgers and drink orange soda and watch TV, but they don&#8217;t. They could buy a Donkey King machine and play it for free, but they don&#8217;t. Instead they eat Brussels sprouts and pinto beans and talk. Sometimes we have to take a walk after dinner (I think it&#8217;s because the beans give my grandpa gas and my grandma doesn&#8217;t like him to fart in the house.) So, they walk and talk when they could do anything. That is like these books. The writer could do anything, but he decides to have the characters walk and talk and not fight monsters or have superpowers.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what I liked about the book. First, the main plot is that all of the men on Earth have died, except one, and now the world is ruled by women. It&#8217;s a good idea and it could have been a good story. I also like that the women in the story are very real. Most people think that women are very nice and I know that this isn&#8217;t true. I have two sisters and both of them are really mean. Most books and television shows show women to be very nice but my sisters are mean just like many of the women in the story. If my sisters ran the world then it would be terrible. I don&#8217;t even want to start talking about my teacher Mrs. Schultz. It would be bad if women were in charge.</p>
<p>The problem is that this writer has a good start but he doesn&#8217;t do anything with it. He doesn&#8217;t seem to have many ideas. Why doesn&#8217;t he put in more hot women in bikinis? Why doesn&#8217;t Yorick, the main character, get to be king of thing world? Why isn&#8217;t the story about Yorick fighting the women for control of the world and then making them do what he says? Why doesn&#8217;t he take over and tell everyone else what to do? Why doesn&#8217;t he get to fight monsters or demons? Where are the dinosaurs and flying cars? That would be cool. See, I have a million ideas just sitting here and yet the story&#8217;s writer doesn&#8217;t have hardly any. He should let me write this story. His pet monkey is cool and I like that he throws a lot of poop, but  why doesn&#8217;t have the monkey do more cool things? Why can&#8217;t they go on adventures together without the women? Maybe meet some space aliens or cavemen? Women can be in the book but don&#8217;t make them the main characters. Hasn&#8217;t the writer read science fiction before? Women aren&#8217;t they main characters, they are just there from time to time. It is not realistic to have women as the heroes. This book would have been really cool if it had more action and less ordinary women. No one wants to read a book that makes you think of fighting with your sisters or visiting your grandparents&#8217; house. Hopefully the writer will keep that in mind for future stories and he will have more ideas by then. I&#8217;m sure lots of people will tell him what he should change though and his next story will be better.</p>
