I didn’t read it. I’m content to imagine.
Mainly because if I imagine, I get to make up my own story, which is probably a better one than the real deal.
Back in the day when I used to drink energy drinks, I’d fall asleep 15 minutes after chugging a can. Didn’t matter what brand. I knew that was going to happen because the same thing happened every morning I drank coffee before school.
Nothing like thinking you’re going to be awake for the first two or three periods of middle school, only to be woken up by the bell in each period.
How does one… get into comic books?
Serious question.
And @shaft-a-calf: Spot on about nerd conversations. I have found myself guilty of this exact thing. I’ve since learned from my ways. :tup:
Also, energy drinks suck! :wasted:
Depends on what you’re looking for.
Honestly, if I wasn’t already into superheroes and thought about getting into the genre today, it would never happen. I think you have to be a kid, have zero taste, and indiscriminately buy stuff that looks cool. Then, as you age, you develop a sense of what you like and what you don’t.
Outside of superheroes, there are comics about pretty much anything, for pretty much any reader. They don’t get pushed as hard in movie theaters and with Happy Meals, so you have to talk about the things that interest you with people who are in the know.
hey, remember when i said you were Opposite Day incarnate? yeah, fuck you. :mad:
when you get into your late 60s consider shooting yourself in the head. you might actually reverse-age 
ol’ immortal ass :mad:
i hate energy drinks too. i only use them when i have to do something that requires my full attention. i don’t really drink soft drinks either. just water mostly.

You are probably right, but I still trudge on for some reason.
Comics? Like Goody said I was a fan of Batman as a kid so took to reading them when I could, as I aged my tastes changed but Superheroes still dominate my collection. I do get a lot of Horror and rarely some old comedy stuff though. But it’s a medium not for everyone and most people are pretty content with the source material being used in other media (Movies, television shows, games and such).
About the only comic I know of that most people seem to read is The Walking Dead.
There’s some stuff that manages to wed high quality with a lot of appeal to the non-comics person.
The Sandman, for example. Everybody loves the Sandman… and it’s awesome.
You don’t need to know a lot about comics to get it, either. If you’ve lived on Earth at some point in the last 400 years, there’s going to be a common bit of culture orstory material it draws upon that you can recognize and latch onto. It’s a story about stories for people who love stories.
dammit AYO, at least look at what i wrote
So yeah, craziness abound again.
Was at a department store, had to pick up light bulbs (long story on why I hate light bulbs to come later.) Took the escalator down from the store, and to the immediate right of the escalator was this really hot chinese girl working at a jewelry store. When I say hot, I don’t mean, she’s ok. I mean OMFGWOULDHIT, wearing a really short miniskirt with hair up in a ponytail and down to her hips, black hose. OMFG.
About this time, I get a text, and stop next to the escalator to check it. I hear off to the side, “Hello!”
I turn around and it’s her, staring intently at me. I say hello back. I continuing fumbling through my text, and she says “Where are you from?” I tell her from America. And then a few seconds later, she asks me other questions. Now I’m locked in a convo.
We continue to talk, and I’m just continuing to internally drool. When all of a sudden she asks me how old I am. I tell her I’m 28, she says she’s 23, then says, “Oh, 28! You look so young!”
I ask her how old she thinks I am, and she says, “I think you look handsome.”
We seemed to skip some levels here.
Then she asks me if I think she’s pretty. I say yes. She hands me off some jade looking necklace beads (pretty sure they’re fake), and then asks me if I’m married or have a girlfriend. I tell her I’m married, either that didn’t get comprehended, or she didn’t care, because she asks if I would like a girlfriend and like Chinese girls, then asks again if I think she’s pretty. Then says whenever I have free time to visit her. Didn’t give me her #.
WTF?
But at this point, I’m not sure if I care. Get me?
This might be my best bet.
I have a few rares and exotics… some autographed, but I don’t know what I can get for them. I think I have the issue of Xmen where Scott and Jean get married, autographed by Fabian Niecieza(sp)… I have that Mutant series with the holographic cards attached to them… and Spawn 1-9… I have some older ones, like that UXM with Wolverine and the “wanted” list in the background from… I think Days of Future Past? And I have all of the Infinity Gauntlet, Maximum Carnage, and the Onslaught saga. That said, I might be able to get something for those, but the rest in bulk.
Thanks for the tips… and thanks for the “Trash can” responses. Unfortunately, that’s what I was thinking as well.
Word, being an “atheist” nowadays equates to being a militant atheist.
When people ask I just say I don’t believe in god and my reasons.
ROFL @ dude’s facial reaction: Bitch, is that a pellet gun?

Even his body guard looks like “Oh shit, I just got fired.”
edit ~ I just watched the video and OMG, his reaction and the MUSIC makes it sooooo comical. This is hilarious and almost makes up for drag of the guy shooting himself yesterday. :tup:
Game is so fun dude, I fux with Remy and Q. Fuck tiers.
I thought that was from I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream? The PC game named after the science fiction short story?
I’ve read it, it’s in an anthology I own IIRC.
Oh and on that video, I never read Civil War and I know Iron Man was a total asshole in that event.
Really been sleeping on Moore’s Swamp-Thing.
What a waste of nice hair for that girl in the vid.
Fucking LOL at the girl saying comics aren’t mainstream and earning “cool points” and “feeling rad.”
Bitch probably only plays Zelda.
I am scared of good Qs. Mah nigga! <3 Third Strike. :tup:
I am not a good Q.
That quote is indeed from Must Scream. Haven’t played that one or finished SS1 so I was confused. I needs to do this. :tup:
Run down that list for us.
Sent from my thumbs, using SRK technology.
Inner City Busing, and acquiring a black best friend.
Serious answer. 
LOL that was awesome! >:(
