  1. Oooo...subliminal. I think there might be a hidden frame in there. I'm going to deconstruct and see if I can find it. Found it. Dat's what I said, Booty Traps!
  2. I just finished reading the new posts...I'm overawed at the sanctimony, and the misrepresentation that goes with it.
  3. Anyone who lives in and around Hollywood will have run into a celebrity here and there.
  4. My coffee just came out of my nose. That's awesome! This made it worth the three minutes it took to make the image. You ever run into a situation where the obliviousness is so complete, when *you* read it, you're not quite sure at first why other people thought it was funny...? Took me a minute to realize that Jaylam actually thought Blowie's self-made 6.9 was legit.
  5. Some people lose their newb status quickly. Some people remain newbs for years. Newb is a state of mind.
  6. I typed up a lengthy post for the new forum, but I don't know if I will post it yet.
  7. That's going to be an entertaining thread. Check out the question I just asked I was going to ask him if once a month we could vote someone off the island based on a poll. That would be both massively entertaining as well as useful. You blitches wouldn't last a week against me in Survivor.... First voted off? Richard Hatch, baby. Russell Hantz. Tony Vlachos.
  8. About 3 weeks to a month before. You would think the insufficiently_thoughtful_person who professes to be so knowledgeable about Star Wars comics would know that? Nice catch. Not sure what I was thinking when I posted that. Actually 6 weeks to be exact...Star Wars #1 began shipping on March 8th, 1977 with a street date of April 12th 1977. The first two issues of Star Wars were out before the movie opened up. Jim Do we have any documentation for that? From the US Copyright Office database, all I can find is this: http://cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=15&ti=1,15&Search_Arg=%22star%20wars%22%20marvel%20comic%201977&Search_Code=FT*&CNT=25&PID=-ilrWPUU_MbSauLjDyyU7d8aJwgfq&SEQ=20141119171658&SID=5 Star Wars 4 was published on 06/14/1977. Assuming a monthly publishing schedule, we would have: Star Wars 1 03/1977 Star Wars 2 04/1977 Star Wars 3 05/1977 Star Wars came out May 25, 1977. It is probably reasonable to assume both issue 1 and 2 were on the stands when the movie came out and 3 was on its way. But I don't have any hard proof of this. The information shared by jim came from the wookipedia: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars_1 I would love to know where the exact dates came from, but the US Copyright Office information seems to support the months at least. But US Copyright info isn't "on the street", just when it's filed with the office (most likely when the completed OA was sent to the printer, meaning another 2-3 weeks to print.) The most reliable info we have is the cover date: 7/77, at that period, the books were roughly 10-12 weeks ahead of the cover date. The book wasn't on the stands in March, for sure. Marvel has (almost) never been four whole months ahead of cover date, and certainly not at this time period. April 12th for an on sale date is within reason. You should re-read my post again. I was supporting the dates supplied by Jim, not refuting them. (thumbs u I was neither supporting nor refuting either post, just adding to the discussion. Whatever you saw as a challenge to what you posted isn't there. No need to re-read, I understood it perfectly fine the first time.
  9. Either there's a spate of self-awareness, or ears have been reached.
  10. Something's wrong with my computer; it won't let me past the first round.
  11. Cat bowling Think of the variables involved. This could be Mankind's greatest achievement in gaming. Intriguing but the pace would be too slow. You have to set the cups up again after every try and you have the unpredictability of the cat to consider That was done by a guy named Schrödinger, so the cat's used to unpredictability.

  13. I made a couple other posts, but I deleted them, so this is my "official" 40,000th post. This is proof, by the way, that no post is ever really deleted from the database. Something to consider.
