"Chair."

I wonder if maybe I haven't been confusing Metron's Mobius Chair: didn't Zodac have something similar in the early DC Comics Masters of the Universe comics? For some reason I keep thinking the chair should have runners that are almost like the nacelles on a Star Trek ship, but also convenient for other riders. I kept thinking the chair could hold, um, like a dozen or so X-Men and Teen Titans, even though I know it doesn't!

We don't have Waffle Houses in this neck of the woods, which is kind of a shame but also doesn't really matter, since I haven't gone out for breakfast in a long time. Unless you count like Burger King 2 for $5 breakfast things, which you probably shouldn't.  I know Waffle Houses are a kind of emergency marker: if they're closed, you need to evacuate, like yesterday; but I also think if they sold booze there would be few survivors. I'm pretty sure the guys that make Tekken wanted to have a Waffle House stage, but for some reason were having trouble getting ahold of whoever held the license. Seems like they should've been able to knock it off, though...

And we'll probably discuss more video game figures next time, but do I remember who made that Mortal Kombat Raiden? Ah, we saw him some time back, and he was from Mezco. Do they make mid-range figures anymore? I've seen previews for a One:12 Nightcrawler that I will of course cough up for. But, I think McFarlane has the Mortal Kombat license right now; and I'm mildly curious if it's like Transformers can be: anybody doing the license, starts with the same few guys, and doesn't necessarily get real deep into the roster.

Thankfully I do because of course the Southeast has Waffle Houses. Hell in my town, I have two of them plus a Huddle House, which is like the Kmart of Waffle Houses.
I haven’t been to one since the pandemic, so I’m long overdue myself. Honestly, and just going off prior experience, they kinda really are enjoyed best if it’s late & you’re drunk or high. Just saying.

So what’s the deal with the chair? Because if you’re going to travel through time & space, the chair would have to produce a protective shield around it, providing the rider with plenty of oxygen and protection from the cold and potential friction burns right? Probably why only certain people are equipped to handle riding in it.

What if riding the Mobius Chair is like riding (New) God's own rocket sled? No protection, just propulsion, and Metron is way more hardcore than we gave him credit for.
