Best story of the month.

Oh C'mon ...seriously!??! I have a serious case of the "mehs" this week.

I'll take a pic if I can summon up the will.

Tough book. I only have one, and it's a touch mangled. Also, Shadowhawk #1 White Variant. All the news stands are pretty tough, except union Not a newsstand. Actual variant. There are THREE different Shadowhawk #1s in existence.

He knew exactly what he was doing. Others are called out when it's noticed. Bio-Rupp was tarred and feathered not long ago for acting like he was selling PGX books. He should have received a strike for it as well. "Tarred and feathered"? Really? Was that how you remember it? Oooook then... it appears that "strike" you got must a zinged the ole Watson noggin' there. That said Watson... try not to get anymore strikes until after December because Clooneython 11 is gonna start on Thurs Dec 15th. Remember you are still entitled to your 10% off Torch-Bearer discount until the end of 2011 This post made me Having everyone either A. love Watson, or B. fear Watson makes for a terribly unbalanced board. It's nice to see him get some of his own medicine. I fear that...that I may love him Who doesn't?

Of course, Trey's wrong. There has been AT LEAST one other situation where someone tried to sell PGX books and they were called on it. And of course, had not Trey completely flipped out and started threatening everyone with lawsuits, this NEVER would have been a big deal, and he wouldn't have gotten a strike. But, hey, blaming everyone else for my problems is cool, brah.

Too tough for you.

Dorks, one and all.

Interesting angle. I'd like to know that too. (thumbs u I went and pulled up his Sig Room thread. He states that he was in the Air Force from 1997-2005. I'm waiting to hear back from him. He's been reading the threads and I asked if I could post his email to me on here as it might explain a few things. Or not. Isn't it amazing what a mess a little dumbassery can create? I actually find it comical in a way. You couldn't -script this stuff for Hollywood. One lie started a bigger mess. Which is exactly the breakdown of the first fiasco. The dude clearly loves comic books, but i wouldn't trust him with a transaction involving a Snickers bar. He lied in both cases (the PGX book and the special needs brother fiasco) but in both cases he was trying to save face from what he thought was an embarrassing situation. I personally don't believe anybody's money was ever at risk. Still comical as hell as an outsider looking in. And I agree that one small lie create this entire mess. It's the way most messes start. You form a small crack and it widens out of control. As an interesting side note, we saw "The Ides Of March" starting George Clooney last night at a local, privately owned movie theatre that we like to support. If you haven't seen it, it was a pretty interesting take on politics. It has nothing to do with Caesar or Shakespeare. What struck me about the movie was how much grief, pain and deceit one little lie creates as it grows like a web and causes people to sometimes change their values just to minimize damage. Always better to be 100% truthful from the start. Ironically, one of the people that we went with has a real problem with lying and it was a surreal "I hope he gets it" moment at the end of the movie. Hopefully Trey gets it, too. I know you feel some need to defend this guy, which in and of itself is commendable, but your continuing attempt to dismiss and diminish the "circus" by calling it "hilarious" and "a comedy" reveals just how fundamentally you don't understand the problem. Let's break it down to its essence: Two men. Both walking across a stretch of grass, which has a "KEEP OFF GRASS" sign posted. Neither sees the sign when they begin walking on the grass. The first guy sees the sign, and immediately gets off the grass as fast as he can. He didn't intend to trespass, and fixes his mistake as fast as possible. The second guy sees the sign, walks up to it, kicks it over, and says to himself "I can walk anywhere I damn well please." Both men trespassed. Only one man rebelled. Trey Cannon is the second man. Lying to "save face", while tempting, reveals a moral deficiency. His continual disregard of the rules further reveals a moral deficiency. Someone said this once: "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much."

How did that song go again? Heart breaker, thread breaker, brubaker.... You're the right kind of sinner To release my inner fantasy The invincible winner and you know that you were born to please...

Mmmm...sea roach...

It's kind of like the "Team Edward" of threads, as compared to the "Team Jacob" AF15 thread. That is the gayest thing I've ever seen you post. And the most sparkly, too. My comment was gay but these threads aren't? Oh, no, these threads are the epitome of manly fortitude. These threads were endorsed by Rip Taylor. And Wayland Flowers.

This line made me

Oh but they are mutually exclusive. The sales forum is a place provided by CGC for buyers and sellers to interact and buy and sell. It has specific rules. The rest of the boards are where we all get to express opinion. It is already a matter of fact that opinions expressed in the sales forum can't cross the line of thread krapping. There is an entirely different etiquette to the sales forum. That etiquette is there to help buyers and sellers. So if there is no issue between buyer and seller the issue must be between the seller and the boards. That, to me treads the line of a popularity contest. Joey is one of the most beloved board members. He is certainly one of my favorite guys around here. Trey, on the other hand, is not so highly regarded. He has brought much of the disdain upon himself with some of his past actions. Let's face it, he's a knucklehead. But in this instance it seems to me there is a ton of piling on for something which, in hindsight, was a fully consummated and satisfactory transaction for both parties. 1. joeypost was willing to let it slide. That's not exactly a satisfactory transaction. 2. the PL is not here just to punish folks, or even just to make sure that a specific transaction ends well. Its greatest value is as a warning to others not to deal with the "knuckleheads." Its most definitely a tool for the community. Yep, the PL is like a warning label/sign. Beware of Dog Doucheebag. *Can't believe they cersored person_who_is_obnoxiously_self-impressed* I was abusing it.

I like spooning, personally.

Wait...I need more

Damn straight, hold that thought. Accurate observations on your own behaviour. The best approach that could be taken followed... But then insanity returned and the blessed become demonic... Suddenly Metro becomes demonic and, despite your own about face, others here hypocrites. No chance pal, she wrote the insult below in her little black book and cursed you forevermore. Why would they bother? You said it was all over and now you're in here with these ridiculous quasi religous ravings. What a flipping joke. Them's some hot newb-on-newb action goin' on rightcheer....

I like to think so. My mother's womb. There is no such thing as "the goddess." Sure, go with that. I'm not much of a hugger, with exceptions. Who? What about curses...?

I will. He's been getting uppity lately. Plus, he didn't buy enough of my variants.
