->''"It is hard for the new-class person to realize that Manhattan is not the world. Or as the somewhat alarmed Philip Rahv said to me after he had taken a drive across the United States, 'My God! There are so many of them!' In theory, Rahv had always known that there were a couple hundred million of gentiles out there, but to see them, in the flesh, unnerved him. I told him that I was unnerved, too, particularly when they start showering in the blood of the lamb."''

->'''David:''' The TV then reports [[BlueBeetle Ted Kord]] talking about the stolen scarab, and then refers to Kord Industries as, and this cracked me up, “The [[PrivateMilitaryContractors Blackwater]] of the Midwest.“\\
'''Chris''': Oh man. “The Blackwater of the Midwest.” That makes it sound like from Ohio to the Dakotas is just some Post-Apocalyptic War Zone with roving gangs of mercenaries, which… well, it’s not ''[[OnSecondThought entirely]]'' accurate, anyway.

->''"The new Vikings stadium will come with a clear roof that will cause the deaths of thousands of birds simply by existing. So I'd like to thank the Vikings for supplying me with the greatest metaphor ever for Minnesotan [[PolitenessJudo passive aggression]].... This is the shitty team and criminal organization that Vikings fans like me deserve. These people never get excited about anything except when they have a chance to whisper 'I hear it's very Jewish' under their breath to other people. They can't get enough of that. Minnesotans are as fickle as Sun Belt-area fans, without the justifiable excuse of having better things to do. They hate everything and everyone, and if you aren't from Minnesota they'll treat you as if [[NoTrueScotsman you aren't even there]]. You may as well be a fucking ghost. It's like you speak a whole other language if you didn't grow up six blocks from the Hansenjohnsons in White Bear Lake. The most exciting thing about Minnesota is when people get shot there in various iterations of ''{{Fargo}}''."''

Jonathan and Martha Kent, his adoptive parents, raised him on their farm in the town of Smallville, Kansas. Clark grew up with strong moral values and a desire to protect the people of his adoptive homeworld. This led to a willingness to sacrifice everything for even the smallest cause...Since that time anything that is labeled as ''[[BizarroUniverse Bizarro]]'' is thought to be diametrically opposed to the 'normal/real' thing.
