  1. Come on man! He's a newlywed. You know what he's working on!
  2. I love Nord's work and yearn to own a page. Any word on whether or not he will be releasing more than just the one book?
  3. That compilation is weird... It is only $3! It must have somehow fallen into the public domain. I also saw a copy of one of the original Gnome press Books, Conan the Conqueror: The Hour of the Dragon for $1.09! I am wondering how they can sell these so cheaply! It has to be public domain stuff. The books are more costly, but I would highly suggest the current Del Rey series. Over the years many editors have taken their hands to Howard's yarns, some with censorship & others with almost disastrous effect. The Del Rey series adheres to the current growing movement of a return to the pure essence of Howard's stories as they were originally published in Weird Tales and other magazines. With editing spearheaded by Rusty Burke, a noted Howard Scholar, the stories have been re-edited and returned to a state of closer to how they were when Howard originally wrote them (due to research gathered from original manuscripts). It is a retro movement that in many aficionados eyes, comes closer to the true essence of Howard than the earlier Grant or Lancer editions. This work is being done with the knowledge that some of these folks have been collecting on Howard for the past 30 years or so. They sure have been selling a lot of these paperback editions and im sure more might be sold after the movie drops, so you might be better off getting a used hard copy on ebay. I think it is funny that the Kindle edition of these books costs MORE that a paperback copy on amazon.com So, in closing, I think the ebook for $3 would be worth it for starters, But you must get your hands on the Del Reys to get the best experience
  4. you know better little man? Yes. I know much better. It will be delivered to its new dwelling place soon. The plot thickens. The suspense of it is drawing me away from the Casey Anthony trial...
  5. Yeah he did. He got an "offer he couldn't refuse" and sold the cover off of ebay to avoid the fees. Hence the expression SillyPuss Just gat PAID! The cover is no longer listed or for sale. Perhaps in the future I will spice up my American Slang expressions with some identifying ebonic flava so they can be better understood by Caknuckleheads In any case i was more making fun of dudes Ebay moniker "SillyPuss" you silly puss! According to Sillypuss he did not get an offer or get paid. He will be listing it again shortly apparently. Your American slang was well understood. Then I stand corrected. I guess I got the silly puss (funny face) now!

  7. The feeling is quite mutual with your video links. To interpret my emoticon use. = funny guy = we both know you did not buy the cover. SillyPuss has not been paid. Smoke less weed there video boy. Either that or smoke Canadian weed. Just like beer the American version is watered down. There is so much to dissect here. A) My video links are usually quite clever, I think. B) Lookwhoitis wasn't implying he bought it. He was just saying that SillyPuss obviously got a sizable offer to end the auction, hence $"SillyPuss just got paid!"$ C) And there's plenty of American beer that isn't Budweiser/Coors/Natural Light swill. There are breweries down here that'll put your Canadian beer to shame, I dare say. Oh, and D) Anytime you'd like to send me a "special care package," well, hint hint... Correctamundo... ( wish I could afford to buy that cover and/or wish I would have bought it when it was originally sold!) You should check out Colorado. Fine Flowers abound. New Belgium Brewery has some awfully nice swill, too.
  8. This. Though I think a new section for off-board transactions is a little overkill. Leave the probie/HOS the way it is. I concur
  9. Currently reading both Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army by Jeremy Scahill and Tinkers by Paul Harding (Pulitzer prize winner)
  10. It may have been that way but they changed it. It is specifically noted in the item description now that it is only the Ghost Key and not the HC included http://www.dcbservice.com/category.aspx?id=37 probably listed INC (Mistaken for Included?) instead of INCV (Incentive) in the original listing? I really wanted to buy a Ghost Key + HC for $20
  11. DCBS has 2 pre-order options for the Keys to the Kingdom HC. One includes a Ghost Key and is priced at $20. Just checked the DCBS website for this and it is ONLY The Ghost Key, not a Key and HC combo
  12. Man, after i finished The Passage i freaked the hell out because I read it soon after release and I knew I had to wait a long while for the next book. This series got me more excited than I have been about a book in years.
  13. anyone got an extra Head key they would sell? Shoot me a PM, please
  14. I don't have a custom title yet. Let's see... It takes 6,500 posts to get the "TOTAL NEWBIE" tag. It has taken me over 7 years to get to 50 posts. At this rate, I will be eligible in approximately 903 years. I had better put some coffee on! So whose shill are you then? Registered on 12/26/03 then first post on 1/03/11?
  15. recent pickups: and one I got this summer at Heroes Con: Guess that means I am looking for a 64 30c and all of the 35c variants now!
