What I've been thinking about is that it would truly suck to be Spider-Man and live someone like rural Alberta/Sask. He is lucky that he lives in NYC where there are plenty of tall buildings. I can only think about how many times it could be fun to web from the barn to the shed & back.

Funny you mention that, Spidey getting trapped in the 'burbs is a rather famous issue. Written by Peter David who went on to write the Hulk for many years.
Brief synopsis of relevant parts:
Quote:
Following it across the Bronx, Spidey realizes he needs to head to the suburbs and catches a ride on the Metro-North train all they way to Scarsdale. After quieting his one-dog welcoming committee with some webbing, Spidey leaps over a fence to where no Spider-Man has gone before; suburbia.
Spidey realizes he's a fish out of water when he finds no tall structures to swing from. Trying to make like Tarzan's no good as the first tree he climbs breaks under his weight, citing his attempted citizens arrest by the neighborhood watch. Of course once the frisking turns into a sexual harassment suit via the man's wife, Spidey webs them up and continues on his not-so-merry way. He attempts to hitch a ride on top of a bus, but the driver spots him and demands a fare. Unfortunately, pockets aren't an option on the Spidey suit yet and he finds himself walking through town wishing he had brought along his civvies. In fact, he questions why he's even going to all the trouble for a two-bit thief in the first place when nobody appreciates what he does anyway. Of course, the sour beat hits a high note when two sanitation workers sing Spidey's praises and give him a lift.

Oh I see, I didn't understand what you meant by "loaded". I get it now. I thought you meant drunk when you said loaded, hence my confusion.

I don't tend to brag a lot about my grades but after getting destroyed on 2 consecutive Geography 205 midterms, especially since it is 1st year course and I took it as a GPA booster, I feel it necessary to mention I just go 102% on my Poli 431 midterm. I was thinking B at best. I feel on top of the world.

I just noticed that everyone's favorite Oilers fan has become a franchise player.

APPARENTLY my iPhone was beside his head, and he didn't like that.
As you can see I'm still a little bit pissed at how rude some people can be on the train. Don't rub your thumb and finger together indicating that I'm loaded, you pompus ass.

You should have kneed him in this face and then said, "I bet you wish you'd shut up about the device in the face, beeyotch!"

That's great! That's equivalent to what, a third line grinder by Calgary standards?

Ah, I love all the posters on here right now, even the stupid ones with single digit IQ's. I suspect that's because I'm on my twelth Cape Cod and third bar of the night. But I suspect that in the morning I'm going to hate ALL of you!
