    To paraphrase Chuck Klosterman, that's not just cool in a comic book context. That's cool in every context.
    I thought your moniker was a reference to those new environmentally-friendly rechargeable lanterns that give you hours of camp light without creating battery waste or fumes from kerosene.

    You are named after a comic book character of some sort?

              Yeah but what is the deal with Green Lantern's big weakness being the color yellow? That's sort of lame.

                One thing that is interesting about the ring... presumably the ring would give super powers to anyone that might wear it. Perhaps there might be some people that would make better super heroes than the current possessor. This means that to wear the ring is really either an act of incredible self-confidence (and naivete) or an act of selfishness. Why should one believe that s/he would be the best person in the world to possess the ring? Until one has looked for a more qualified ring bearer, the choice to wear the ring is an act of selfish self-righteousness. The true act of a noble hero would be to fight evil while simultaneously seeking out a bearer more fit and able than one's self. Did the Green Lantern do this?

                Welcome!

                    In true noble comic book fashion, the ring selects only worthy candidates.
                    Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...

                    None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.

                    I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.

                      That's actually no longer the case.
