Oh...Drat.
Well, the new books are in, but my car just drove off with my son in it, since he managed to lose the clutch in his truck somehow, and needed to get to school.
*sigh*
I can console myself with the fact that I'm not actually getting a whole lot of books today anyway. Nevertheless, I do feel something of a pout coming on.
So...to cheer myself up, and for the perverts among you, I present the cover to one of my absolute FAVORITE stories:
Oh yeah. The time that Guy Gardner got turned into Gal Gardner. The actual whys and wherefores really don't make a whole lot of sense, all you need to know is that Dementor did it...somehow...and that hilarity ensues! This was towards the end of Warriors, when Beau Smith obviously felt that he had nothing left to lose, and it really is an awfully funny issue.
I always have wondered how Hal would have reacted to the same situation, and my feeling is that he would have gone completely to pieces...and who could blame him? Guy on the other hand, although QUITE pissed, manages to acquit himself/herself with a certain degree of aplomb..not to mention grace under pressure.
But you know, that somewhere, Ted Grant and Zinda have photos of this whole episode hidden in a safe deposit box somewhere.

Nah, Hal wouldn't go to pieces. He'd just forge ahead like he always does. EXCEPT he'd:
- STAY the HELL AWAY from Ollie, Roy, Wally, and most of the male Lanterns.
- Spend a WHOLE LOT of time naked in front of the mirror.
and
- Grill Cowgirl extensively on how she ranks on the Kinsey scale. ;-)
Actually, Hal WAS manifested as a woman once, when he was the Spectre, but he/she was too busy fighting with Stigmonus and "Sinestro" to really give his transformation much attention. (He/she DID startle the hell out of "Sinestro," though! ;->)
Hal as a woman should happen again, just because his fellow Lanterns need to see it this time.
John would try to be mature about the whole thing, but would keep cracking up at inappropriate times anyway.
Guy would keep hitting on him, even if he knew it was Hal, just to see him squirm.
Kyle would propose.
It's always good to find some dirty laundry on Guy Gardner. The Blue Beetle might use it sometime, you know--
Nya-hahahahaha!
I MUST find that story with Hal as a female spectre, and I must read it.
Heh.
I think that you're all right about Hal's reactions. Being Hal, he would of course make a huge deal out of it. Guy surprisingly, did not. I mean, he was obviously annoyed, but he didn't let it slow him down. And he was even wearing MORE as a woman, then he normally did as a man, which I found refreshing.
Guy really does make a startlingly good-looking woman, doesn't he? Hal would probably be hot too, in that leggy brunette way, and Kyle would clearly be a knockout. Clearly, the Lantern Corps needs to get hit with Grandin Gender-Reversal Disease sometime soon. (I'm thinking the odds that Hal would manage to restrain himself from hitting on ridiculously-pretty-hipster-chick Kyle are kind of on the low side.)
The scary thing, that Kalinara pointed out once, is that a female version of Kyle would look astonishingly like Carol Ferris.
Which is why Hal keeps hitting on him.
