Ditch Fahrenheit

I laughed at that too. Every time I think that show has jumped the shark, they do something to make me want to continue to watch. The joke reminded me of (maybe someone can remember the name of it) some comedy show that featured a family of dinosaurs. Dino suits worn by the actors. The father was a T-Rex. The big asteroid strike never occurred in their reality, so the Dinos had evolved to the same level as humans (sort of). In one episode, their house is destroyed by a rock from space. The T-Rex father argues with the meteor insurance adjuster about it. The adjuster points out that it was a "meteorite" that had struck the house, not a meteor; and, therefore, the claim would not be paid. And if I remember correctly, he even points out that technically the house would have to be orbiting the planet for it to be covered. This one? That's it! Man...that show was a lot funnier in my memory. Anyway, I found the clip...

Here's all his posts in that blog. A little easier to read. Troy Hickman Posts He blogs more about mini-comics in the Saturday, June 9, 2007 blog post.

Check this out. lurkingrhythmically.blogspot.com Go down about halfway to the Sunday, July 15, 2007 Troy Hickman post. Some good info in there.

Sean, thanks for taking the time to photograph and post those. They're cool as hell. I'm jelly. I'm going to start looking around for the Common Grounds books. I really want to read those stories. I wonder if Holey Crullers variants exist, since they used different colors of paper during the series?

That is from the Common Grounds series - which was originally the Holey Crullers self-published comic. I am probably the biggest fanboy of these stories ever. They always had a Twilight Zone/ Outer Limits twist to the stories. I LOVED them. I still have two complete sets of the originally published pamphlet-style comics. Troy Hickman wrote a lot of really good stories like this! Dangit. Now I want to collect them. Do you have any pics? Not in my photobucket, but (wonder of wonders) I think I know where they are. I will try to get some pics tonight. Awesome! I would love to see those. I'm assuming that the pamphlets wouldn't qualify for SS. I pulled this from Wiki... I'd be curious to know the estimate on how many copies actually exist today. You should probably get that Wizard magazine too (if you don't already have it).

Here's the official announcement. CGC Expands “No Grade” Designation Into “Page” and “Cover”

@CGC I'm assuming you guys had a minor tweak with the thread and will be reposting it soon. If that's not the case, and you'd rather not announce today, then just delete my posts here. I can keep a secret.

Did anyone else see this temporary thread from CGC in CG? Evidently, the encapsulation and grading of covers and pages using the new designations of CVR (cover) and PG (page) starts 11/17. Anything more than one cover or one wrap would continue to receive the standard NG grade. Sounds like a good idea to me.

You could mind your own business and get on with yours. Too easy? thanks for the insightful advice noob How is someone who joined 5 years before you a noob? http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7759855 I forgot about that one.

Definitely. Or a Watchman spin-off.

I like this.

Yeah, I saw it when it first came out. The Edge's pedal board is incredible. He's one of the few guys that can actually call up his effects accurately and repeatedly without problems. I know what your talking about and was unable to pull a clip. This kinda bugged me. Yeah, he's heavily into delay and other tricks. I don't mind that once in awhile, like David Gilmour's "Blue Light," but it's pretty much Edge's signature sound and I get a little tired of it sometimes. I'm just amazed he can process the signal that much through all those racks and pedals and still be able to call up the sound he's looking for repeatedly. Most guitarists can't, and it becomes the number one studio time waster; or they can't replicate the sound live. Here's a deleted scene where you can see all his gear. You can get a real sense of his delay when he's playing Pride.

So you're a Foo Fighter's fan. Plus one, sir! They are one of my favorites, I can't wait to pick up Sonic Highways, the HBO series has been really good too! I'm really enjoying the HBO series. I love studios and the lore that surrounds them.
