  1. It's ok, J. You're always funny... looking at least (stupid joke luh :luhv:v ). I'm having an extremely difficult time staying awake or focusing on work right now myself. Think I accidentally took Niquil instead of Day-Quil on the way out the door this morning. Guess that's what I get for taking it in the dark. "Little n... big F-in Q"
  2. Too bad Lebowski can't twitter on their board... You're putting evil thoughts into my head I already had evil thoughts until I saw that you had to directly e-mail their board admin to be added as a user...
  3. Let me tell you from experience... THEY ARE! How do you decide who you want to sign? Do you have multiple copies each with a different signature? If you are planning on keeping them, it's all really up to you. I like to get all of the sigs on one book rather than one book with one sig and another book with a different sig. For me, I only get sigs by people who were involved in the creation fo THAT book. Some people like to get sigs of character creators even if they have nothing to do with that specific issue. Some people like to get the actors to sign the book if the comic was made into a movie. It's really up to you... As far as Chew comics go... I've gotten both Rob Guillory (artist) and John Layman (writer) on all of the copies I have SS.
  4. or he could just hook up with this Beard... He would get huge from me on that one.
  5. did I just find a picture of TJ naked?!?! http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:JWuRKxMKcPLWuM I posted it as a link because it is just too scary.
  6. I've been able to resist to far .....just 9.8 SS copies of the first prints for me I've already buckled on the #1 2nd print and bought a 9.8 SS Who's your daddy!
  7. I feel you, my fellow OCD brother. Of course I'm having a little more trouble with "Crossed". They average 5 variants for each #. I decided to get all 9 CGC'd since I enjoyed the read so much (and as a completist collecting limited series helps the piggy bank) but 9 issues is now 45 and growing!! Maybe it's time to switch to the GA or SA. I feel you. I'm a huge GI Joe whore and was going to get the IDW series and CGC all of the issues including all variants... think I'm backing away from that one now just because of the number of books.
  8. This is slowly happening to me... I keep sending them away to try to keep from having a horde, but it keeps growing...
  9. Isn't that what we call his mountain man beard already? :shrug:
  10. They've been getting one everyday as well. Haven't heard back from them either. I think I've only got e-mails programed to go through the end of this week. Maybe I need to go ahead and write some more.
  11. I am completely happy with with WD gold label 9.8's as well, Jason can't wait until next month, have two ok copies of wd 1 ss, still working hard on guillory to convince him and the booker of bcc to get him there. i guess i'll have all three wd #61 ss along with the 2 #1s and maybe that agent #6 ss too. I haven't even got an response from Guillory. Have you, J?
  12. I am completely happy with with WD gold label 9.8's as well, Jason knew I'd get a response on that one.
  13. Go on I'm curious as to why my patients should question me. Three main reasons patients should question doctors (and in this discussion doctors was a code word for healthcare provider). Three main points. two backed up with examples from the healthcare organization I work for and one by my own personal experience. Asking your doctor questions assists you in getting the "right care", "the proper level of care" and that you are not getting "care you do not need" The right care - The company I work for had a patient about 9 years ago that was going to have their left arm amputated. When the patient awoke from surgery, the right arm had been removed instead of the left. Patient was cited in the local paper as knowing something was wrong when they started preping the right arm and put the IV in the left, but didnt QUESTION anyone why that was happening. (I'm not saying this or any other medical mistake is the patients fault. Just using it as an example) The proper level of care - We recently had an orthopedic surgeon put in a total knee replacement construct that is designed for active (read that as mobile) people in their late 40s-50s that is one of the highest cost constructs on the market into a bed ridden 97 year old woman. Her family was furious after the fact when they received the bill which included the charges for the implants and saw how much they would have been billed if she had not been covered under medicare (which made for a wonderful story on the local tv news). If they had QUESTIONED the doctor before what he was going to be implanting, they could have been informed as to what was going on. (in fact their are TONS of examples like this on both ends, receiving not enough care and receiving too much care) Care you do not need - This was my personal experience. I hurt my shoulder. Went to my GP. He had me get X-rays, scheduled me for an MRI, and referred me to the Orthopedic specialist all in the same visit. Had the x-rays that day, three days later had the MRI, two days after that the specialist visit. Specialist comes in looks at me, checks me over, "might need surgery", leaves the room. His PA comes in with his orders to get a X-Rays and an MRI (at his clinic) on a seperate visit. I balked and said I had just paid over $400 for X-rays and an MRI, why wouldn't they work. Because I QUESTIONED my doctor, I did not have to a second set of X-rays and an MRI, saving myself and my insurance company money. AND I made sure to stress that doctors know what they are talking about (most of the time ) and to make sure not to question because you want to be pissy, but to be polite and just try to get all the info you can from the doc to be able to make the best informed decision regarding your own healthcare. ahh, the great wrong arm/leg horror story. same happened at the hospital i worked at, funny though, the arm was incinerated before it was known that it was the wrong arm not funny Ha-Ha, but funny scared. In short my whole point (kind of in code) is that it is up to everyone to take an active role in their own healthcare
  14. I'll give this one a , but there needs to be a "really funny" sign
