Having grown up on a farm, I've seen many animals die that I've grown attached to but it's never easy for a child to see their first pet die. There's not a lot to console a distressed child but it's helpful to let them know that the pet lived until it was very old in pet years and had a whole animal life. It is the curse of keeping pets that we will always see them die, what seems to us very quickly but is actually their natural lifespan.

That's only Before they get married. Then it's semi-annual after that. Next month is "hump month" for me, I'm not sure whether to rename it "Humpuary" or "Humptober".

I haven't humped anything all day.

Really?! Didn't know that..: I'm just gutted that I spent time reading the comic, Dark Reign; The Smartly Furnished Barn.

Life is too short, find something more worthwhile to spend your time on.

Yes, work is "time consuming". It can be tedious, but it is work. I'll take my wrist slap/strike if you want to throw one my way. Let's play a little game I like to call, "A Time to Kill" with the star studded cast of the ever sexy MM, Sandy, Mr. Spacey and Mace Windu. Close your eyes while I read the above post by Blowie. (Rereads post) Now open your eyes. And imagine that those words were spoken by a little black girl, i.e. RMA. Your honor, the defense rests. Well played, sir! Well personally I thought that BUTM's post was over the top but still nowhere near as over the top as RMA's usual ones and BUTM certainly doesn't have a long history of posts that I consider over the top (just in case a reply to this was hoped for). Ogami's statement/question was put out there as if he wanted replies, I was not intending to make a dig at you, merely trying to answer the post as honestly as possible. I've made my reply and unless directly replied to about it again, will hopefully not start on it any further.

What makes you think you're in the Cabal? Cheeky, I'll make sure your membership is revoked. I'm putting myself forward for the position of cabal treasurer.

I'm just thankful I'm not on that cabals list Be afraid, the cabal approves of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

Well, at least one positive thing came out of this thread. I'm in a cabal. I'm quite excited, I've never been in a cabal before.

Is this the part where a dozen or so boardies try for the next 24 hours to get the thread locked? Seems to be the appropriate time.

At the end of the day, this is CGC's forum and they can moderate it as they see fit. Anyone who doesn't like the style of moderation isn't obligated to spend their time here. Personally I think the mods do a decent job. Having said that, I echo the wishes of those that would love to see a "true" ignore function.

Basically you're asking for people to use common sense? Um...... good luck with that.

+1 I can't believe he just ripped into Architect like that. It's not like it's the first time.

I just got a response to my PM from about a month ago about why I got wrist slapped. Here's the content of the original post along with my offending post: THAT'S political? I must misunderstand what the issue with talking about politics in society is. Talking about abortion or guns or partisan stances is politics, but if you take the broadest definition of "politics," it applies to anything related to interaction between two or more people. This thread itself is about politics--or, more specifically, politics within these forums. A comment on how almost everybody fails to pay their state use taxes in a thread about taxes is political? Sheesh. Politics is talking about controversial topics. Going by this strict a definition of the word "politics," then Arch's metaphor above about cops giving speeding tickets is political because it relates to laws created by the government. Looks pretty harsh to me. Then again, if I was a mod and had to read through all the threads in CG and the WC, I wouldn't just be grumpy, I'd be suicidal. Being a moderator on any internet forum is not easy. It's easy on your forum, you only let nice people in.

1st appearance of Flash Thompson is going to cost just a liiiiittle bit more than 1st Flash Thompson as Venom.

No, definitely the 1st series.

Not a Silver Age book but the 1st appearance of Domino in New Mutants # 98 was an imposter with the real Domino not appearing until about a year later.

Wow, that doesn't even look shilled.

I will tell you what I've been told in so many words here. Shut up and enjoy it. You should get down on your knees and kiss H'Wood's ring for even making movies based on comic books. More like, everybody's entitled to their own opinion and you're entitled to yours but it's not nesecary to repeat it over and over and over and over and........

Now there's a sentiment I can get behind.

Garry's the curator for that one. Who says I'm not cultured?

Well, the marketplace is supposed to be for comic related items but I guess you could make the argument that Amazon is a large stockist of TPB's and graphic novels.

Not being a DC guy, it wouldn't be for me but looking at GPA, the price isn't too bad for it. You could probably find a cheaper one after a while if you wanted but if you just fancy the book then, why not? (thumbs u
