Huh. Weird.

[eternalrage]

Keeping abreast of the subject.

[charlesx]

But.... Felicia Day has no breasts to speak of. Wha......?

[get_1]

Charles is a boob man?

[eternalrage]

I'd like to see his costume.

[kontrol]

Continuing the old convo, the first comic bought for me was Avengers 250. Maelstrom grabbing a bunch of Avengers through the ground.

[DroppinSuga]

You guys don't even want to know what my first comic was...

[K-ness]

You guys don't even want to know what my first comic was...

Casper #12?

[DroppinSuga]

Casper #12?

Secret Warriors #1.

[Immortal_Raven]

I think miune was Garfield #1, and since you'll probably laugh there, my first actual comic book was X-Men #192 I think.

[eternalrage]

I'm not too certain about my first comic. My mother use to work at a grocery store that had a comic spin rack. That would get comics in and some would be damaged. The store would then tell the distributor which issues are damaged and they'll have you rip the covers off and dispose of them. They would then issue a refund and either have the store send them back or destroy them. She brought home many comics that did not have a cover.

The earliest comic I do remember getting was Captain America Annual 13. Purchase by my grandmother at a local minimart. The next day I took it to school and had it taken away by my teacher. She placed a piece of masking tape on the cover and wrote my name on it. I was able to get it back at the end of class and have never been able to forgive/forget how she ruined my comic.

[get_1]

First comic I ever bought was the TPB of "Kingdom Come."

How much more satisfied could one be with a first purchase?

[Ouchmaker]

Uncanny X-Men #226-227 (it was printed in finnish in a single comic), and
GI Joe #46.

So yeah, The X-Men sacrificing themselves to exile the Adversary, and Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes marching through Cobra Island. I think my favourites were chosen right there, at age 6.

[The BoyBlunder]

My first comic was Countdown to Infinite Crisis. Damn thing lured me in with it's hundred pages for $1.

meg@tron.com would make more intuitive sense.

[Ouchmaker]

I didn't get it anyway. Why would you want meg@ron.com?

meg@tron.com would make more intuitive sense.

Because there's only one t in Megatron:

The at sign (@), also called the atmark, at symbol, or the commercial at,...In English, it is usually pronounced at.

And I'd rather be associated with "ron" than "tron". :cheeky:

[get_1]

You'd rather be associated with the seediest of prolific male adult movie stars rather than an iconic Disney family film?

And I meant it'd be more intuitive since @ tends to be substituted more for "a" than "at."

In case it wasn't already obvious, the name "Ron" is ruined for me. I can only associate it with Ron Jeremy.

Hehe, and as coincidence has it, my local venue's judge is named Ron.

Saw Horrible Bosses on Friday, good for a chuckle, and a Ron White cameo is always welcome.

Bought Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep today. Was anticipating it'd be bad (given Chain Of Memories and 358/2 Days, and the fact I hate the concept of naming the main characters Terra/Ventus/Aqua), so bought it pre-owned for £15.

But I'm so stunned.

I love how when you fight you feel like you're great at life. You feel really dynamic. You feel like you have 16 tricks up your sleeve. I'm surprisingly enjoying the story so far: new Disney worlds is so "yes", and I clapped when I realised it's a prequel to the first came. And I love how it feels hard. I'm playing it on Proud mode, and I've already had Game Over about 10 times, fighting bosses [and standard enemies -- I was tricked because I couldn't work out how to use potions]. And I love the upgrade system. Feels like you level up every time you kill an enemy. Yes.

I'm just held under. Going to have to reanalyze what I had planned for my mafia game, in light of this.

Watched Akira a couple of days ago.

Great movie.

Well, I have 2 weeks off of work and decided to go on an anime spree.

Last week I watched Appleseed, Appleseed Ex Machina, Steamboy, Ghost in the Shell, Ghost in the Shell: Innocence, Castle in the Sky, and Akira

This week I'm planning on watching Metropolis, Princess Mononoke, Kikis Delivery Service, Howls Moving Castle, and whatever else I get around to.

[Rokk_Krinn]

I bought it back around the holidays the night we admitted Kristen to the hospital and the many hours of "escape" it gave me late at night when I refused to sleep would give it a place of honour in my collection. The fact that it is stunningly good is a sweetener.

Surprised you didn't already have it. Next time I'll be sure to let you know. :)

Gotta go with kontrol on this one. She honestly pales compared to her Gossip Girl co-stars, who aren't even that hot to begin with. I don't know why, but make-up and dyed/colored hair tend to be turn-offs for me.

So, my daughters and their father went camping this weekend. He text me to let me know that our dog, who went as well, was sprayed by a skunk last night. They were all gagging all night long. Kinda funny. I have giving her a tomatoe juice bath to look forward to when they get home. I had a Samoyed while growing up who got dowsed once. He was pink for quite a while. :laugh:

My wife used to keep her hair long, and I loved it. Now with the kids she keeps it short, which is a direct violation of our agreement. I promised to keep mine short, and she promised to keep hers long and never shave her head again. I may have to grow out the mane again.

hm, someone suggested mint mouthwash.

Mostly though, a combination of peroxide, baking soda and dish soap seem to be the common remedy for skunk smell. Going to try that (in a while, she's really beat) and see how it works.

Good luck with that, one of the reasons I don't own any pets. And my son usually gets dirty enough to suffice.

Actually, I just looked "created gem" up and it doesn't mean fake. It is the real deal, just not naturally grown. There are different qualities, depending on the method used, and that determines the price. Much like naturally occuring, the quality of a created gem will determine the price. But there are some methods that create poor quality gemstones and those gems should be avoided, just like any low quality natural gem.

My wife's got a man-made diamond in her engagement ring. It's not cubic zirconium or anything like that. It's chemically identical to something that a Congolese 12-year-old would pull out of the ground and then sell to De Beers for a thousandth of its market value (a market value created by De Beers). We like science (http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.09/diamond.html), so she's got the man-made diamond in a tension setting (http://www.titaniumrings.com/product/ring/867090/1), and all our rings are titanium. We're like an advertisement for advanced materials science as it relates to the weddings industry.

Thanks for agreeing with me, Truff. You are quite the agreeable person.

QED.


On a completely unrelated and separate note, it is ironic that my wife is having foot surgery tomorrow and yet I am the one walking around with a cane. I don't know how I managed to hurt myself over the weekend, but my knee is painful. I get bursitis from time to time, but it's never been this bad since I had knee surgery. It's off to the orthopedist for me on Friday. At least until then I can practice walking like a pirate.

You ask so nicely. How can I possibly refuse? :)

"Q.E.D. is an initialism of the Latin phrase quod erat demonstrandum, which means "what was to be demonstrated". The phrase is traditionally placed in its abbreviated form at the end of a mathematical proof or philosophical argument when what was specified in the enunciation — and in the setting-out — has been exactly restated as the conclusion of the demonstration.[1] The abbreviation thus signals the completion of the proof."

See, this is the thing about Wizards. Wizards can act like a jackass one second, and very wise and serious the next. Which is how you played Zemik. You also played him like a Hero. Maybe not a goodie-two-shoes, but a Hero nonetheless.

Drawing penises on people's faces with Prestidigitation is one thing. Asking whether it would be possible to kill the party and resurrect them as undead slaves(and, when asked, are not really kidding about it), is something else entirely.

Basically, Zemik is a funny character.

KC is a caricature.

An Ogre is a member who has a freakin high Rep score =P

In all seriousness, I started a thread a while ago called "Rep Goals?" that started completely innocent to tell funny stories about Rep comments. It escalated into in a Rep Farming thread that morphed into a player group. After it hit about 6000 posts, the mods deleted it (not just closing it down), so a thread titled "Ogre Slap" was started (an anagram of "Rep Goals". Every thread since then has had the words Ogre and/or Slap in them. Lately, the Ogres and Made members have been fusing together. Several MafiOgres include me, Suga, ERage, K-ness, Bossy, Hail (a past ogre who posts every once in a while), get, tpchid, phoneixfire, Wade (a past mafioso), Alien Flanders, and a few others like coyotejack who are dabbling in ogredom.

I've always hoped that the irony inherent in creating a multitude of artificially inflated rep scores to bump one artificially inflated rep score off the map was intentional. :cheeky:

How the heck did you guys get past the limitations anyway? I remember somebody repping me a crazy number of times in one day -- way more than I'd initially thought was possible.

[ChiRocker]

The limitations at one point were that you could only rep 25 people in one day, but you had to rep 24 people before you could rep the same person again, allowing you to rep one person twice in 24 hours. Eventually, Typhon gave up (or so we guess) and changed it so you only needed to rep 5 people before you could rep the same person again, and you could rep 50 people in one day. At that point I tried my darndest to get you back on top, but I got tired of the rep thing shortly afterward and now rarely give it out anymore (unless I feel a post deserves it).

Squirrel Girl and Quasar are the only two SRs I will feel cheated if I pull them, though I'm pretty sure I could price gouge Quasar pretty well.

Ironically, Armor and Captain were the ones I didn't want from GSX. But I have the whole set now, sans exclusives. Currently have my Frost Giant chasing Thor's Chariot above my computer at home.

I'm stuck somewhere between buying 6 boosters and a brick of Cap. On the one hand my venue gives discounts on bricks, on the other I'm not interested in the generics aside from maybe the SHIELD ones. Ah, decisions, decision.

[Silver Lantern]

Well I caved (god, I'm weak!) and totally impulse purchased a case despite my trash talking to Pax that the set would suck hairy donkey nuts... You win Pax! ;)

So brick #1 I pulled Squirrel Girl (who I don't really care for), Quasar (Score!) and Malestrom (okay I suppose, but I don't care for the character). I also pulled the WeaponX chase (which while not my #1 choice, is better than Rojhaz I suppose). But didn't get a Red Guardian or Crimson Dynamo (and SSS/WG were my #1 want), I also didn't get a Falcon, Viper, Quake, Hellfire, Fixer, Armadillo, Gorgon or Steve Rogers. This prompted me to open up brick #2

Brick #2 I pulled Kitty, and the Storm siblings, but I did manage to fill out all the CUR except for Fixer & Gorgon (neither of which I care much about). Now I need to unload this terrible chase and these terrible SRs...

Having three hours to kill while the procedure was done and then my wife spent time in the recovery room, I decided to abscond. This is the part that should illustrate why Satan has a special place for me in the pit. I took off, drove to the nearby LCBS, bought a case of Cap with my birthday money, and then went out to lunch.

PS - I have not yet opened my case of Cap. I have it sitting in the car, under some stuff, out of sight.


Are you on penalty of death if you buy heroclix in the near future too? Honestly, it's your birthday money, use it how you want. I'm currently putting together some clix to sell so I can buy a brick of Cap. If I sell some stuff to buy new stuff, my wife won't touch that money.

You may try buying her favorite ice cream or dessert for this evening, or perhaps prepare her favorite meal. I made my awesome breakfast potatoes the other night and made my wife's day. Just some suggestions, though I am wondering why you are going to hell.

Well, atleast it was worth it. Also, any extra Cap pieces... *cough cough hint hint* :p

Sure thing, Ouch. I'll let you know.

I never forget about my very good friends in the Klingon Empire. :laugh:

Fellas, I am going to hell. It's official.

My wife is currently undergoing minor foot surgery. It's outpatient and she more than likely won't need crutches. After she got prepped, I spent time with her. Then the OR nurse came for her and I left the outpatient surgery center.

Having three hours to kill while the procedure was done and then my wife spent time in the recovery room, I decided to abscond. This is the part that should illustrate why Satan has a special place for me in the pit. I took off, drove to the nearby LCBS, bought a case of Cap with my birthday money, and then went out to lunch. I am having lunch at Hooters, where they have free Wi-Fi. I had hot wings. A Hooters girl just brought me a pint of cold beer.

You could bring back some hot wings for your wife.

First off, I'lls ave you a seat anytime. Second, I left my wife at the hospital in labor with our first child so I could go to Krusticlese's comic shop and watch a clix tourney for the first time. I came back with a bag of comics and sat down and read while she was breathing funny to try and aleviate the pain of a semi-stalled labor. So yeah, I'll save you a seat. :laugh:


Capwolf is tots legit

Is it a chase?

Oh, I am being facetious, mostly. :cool: It's my money, after all.;)

Woops! Just got a call from the medical center - gotta go get my missus!

Cheers!

Yes, Cap Wolf is a chase.

Later!

I think it's less -how- he spent the money and more that he's playing and hanging out relaxing staring at Hooters waitresses while his wife is in misery and in surgery.

I mean, sure, it's just "routine out-patient surgery" but Lord knows the number of times we've tried to go out and find/page/call the "emergency contact" because something routine has revealed a deeper problem and the patient is in emotional need...or sometimes...

Okay, okay...I'll stop.

My sister just uploaded the pics from the softball game on June 3rd. I never realized how muscular I've become... :confused:

Ok so I finally have a few minutes to get this written down.

My wife's been complaining about two "old people bushes" that stand sentinel (Can you tell I've been reading SoIaF nonstop since some time in April?) at the end of our driveway. My dad hears these complaints and decides to do something selfless and generous for a change. he calls in a favor with a friend who owns a landscaping businuess to come and get them torn out. Well apparently they've grown a bit since 1965 when they were planted so the cap to our sewer vent was completely hidden by the bush on the one side. Needless to say, when they tore out the bush, they also tore out a section of our sewer line.

So my dad calls me on my way home and tells me what happened. It sucks but I'm ok with it. He says it's a small break and that he'll patch it tomorrow. He says that it's ok to use the toilets and stuff still because he checked and everything still makes it's way into the other end of the sewer drain. I get home and it's a 2 foot gap with the dirt in between dug down deeper than the break. Anything that comes out of my sewer line pools up in my yard before going into the sewer. It has to be about 9 inches deep before it overflows to city waste. This is where I flip out. I'm sure you can imagine why without my graphic details. Anyway, I run to Depot and grab about $30 worth of stuff and in an uncharacteristic feat, I patch it together so it's usable for at least a day or two. Who knows what I'm going home to today. He hadn't even left for my house as of 1pm. That gives him 4hrs to get to my house, assess the damage, buy supplies, and fix it before the family gets home and we all use the bathrooms/sinks/showers. Wish me luck guys. I foresee another night of stress. *sigh*

Rock on, brother!

Ugh, dude, Stan, that just sucks ###. Surprised your pop didn't fix it ASAP, that seems like a quick fix for him.

That was my main gripe. Depot was open at 4pm when I got the call. Go grab the stuff and fix the dang thing. Don't leave me stranded. Accidents happen. That's fine. Don't borrow my car, get a flat and just get a ride home leaving my car there.

[K-ness]

Rock on, brother!

Thanks Stan. Sorry about your misfortunes. :surprised

[Rokk_Krinn]

We have friends/neighbours like that. Such as when guy who borrowed a pick-up from my father and came back a few days later to say it wouldn't work and Dad would need to get it fixed. Turned out the guy's kids were playing and literally kept funneling sand/dirt into the fuel tank until it was overflowing. :confused:

Hope you get things under control without too much of a nightmare. Emergency plumbing is never enjoyable, especially when you've already got enough on your plate.

My dad's a master plumber...when he's sober...and properly motivated. The problem is that those two stipulations don't usually coincide.

[Immortal_Raven]

From helping my neighbor with a similar problem a few months ago, that stinks. Sorry to hear about that Stan. The good news is that it's a relatively simple fix. The bad news, I bet your kids are home for the summer.

Good luck.

[ChiRocker]

heading out for my usual Wednesday Madness. probably be back someone time between 10-11pm.

My wife works, so they've been spending their days at my mother-in-law's house. That's a plus.

Indeed. I can't wait for my mother-in-law to quit her job so she can watch her grandkids, as if she didn't already spoil them to death.

Fixed. :grin:

Sorry for your woes. Remember, this too shall pass.

You are correct. I "listen to them".

Why do audiobooks not count as reading? I mean if I said I listened to the book, I'd get made fun of for the mental picture of me holding a book to my ear. EDIT: This is just something I constantly catch crap for at the lunch table at work. I can move through a bunch fo books while it takes others forever to read them, but I'm somehow the lame one for doing the whole audiobook thing. FYI, yeah I think I might be a bit stressed today so don't take offense to me being overly sensitive. :laugh:

Wrong. Winter is coming and the Lion's will be well-fed during it. :devious:

[Truffle Shuffle]

Hardly. Listening to a book is just as acceptable as reading. I know a lot of people who prefer to listen to books than to read. It is a great way to pass time in the car.

I just couldn't pass up the chance to rib you. Back to lurking now; I function better there anyway, silence, it seems, is a better state for me. I tend to open my mouth and make people uncomfortable or insult or hurt. I've been thinking of becoming a monk once my girls are grown, but I'm not sure about how the hair cut will look on me. :cheeky:

Don't leave. We love you. I'm just off my groove today. See? I edited above, but I think I was too late. And the haircut works for me. Why not you? ;)
