    The Hostess Hoard in the Land of the Neanderthals

     

    The Hostess Hoard and the small tribe of Neanderthals are sitting around a fire in a cave, eating Mammoth á l'orange.

     

    "Mm, mm, MM! This is dee-licious!" says Snowball. "I never thought I'd like mammoth, let alone with l'orange."

     

    "Glakgoo! Do grka gleet," says the Neanderthal leader, who is nicknamed 'Big Red' by the Hoard because one of them was in the mood for gum.

     

    His daughter runs to the fire pit, pulls another chunk of mammoth off and hands it to Snowball. She giggles seductively. Snowball glances up at her heavy brow ridges and receding chin.

     

    "Thanks, cutie," he says, tearing into the meat and letting the juices flow down his chin. "What's your name?"

     

    She giggles again and grunts, "Goo."

     

    "Nice to meet you, Goo," says Snowball between bites.

     

    Twinkie stops in mid-chew. "Goo?"

     

    She glances at Twinkie, sighs, pulls herself away from Snowball and tosses him some meat.

     

    Twinkie looks around at his teammates. "Her name is Goo? That's the goo Big Red was talking about!"

     

    "Holy [!@#%^&^]," says Susie Q. "He's trying to marry off his daughter!"

     

    "Man, I'm stuffed!" says Snowball, rubbing his food-distended belly. "That was great! Did you make it yourself, Goo?"

     

    She flashes a smile full of large, white teeth. "Gribbledack glorg."

     

    "I have no idea what you're saying, but if that was a yes, my compliments."

     

    "What the heck are we going to do?" asks Ho Ho. "If we run away now, they'll hunt us down and kill us. For all we know, eating mammoth is a wedding ceremony!"

     

    "How are we going to get gifts? My credit card is over the limit," says Ding Dong.

     

    "Yes, that's the real problem," says Fruit Pie. "Not the fact that we're trapped in the stone age with a marriage-minded gorilla."

     

    "Hey! They're not gorillas! They're Neanderthals. Give them some dignity," says Snowball.

     

    "Your wife wants to talk to you," says Cupcake, motioning to Goo who was standing impatiently next to Snowball, waving her arms.

     

    "What is it, Goo?"

     

    "Gribbledack glorg!" she says.

     

    "Uh huh. Yeah. I have no idea what that means," says Snowball.

     

    She points to the area between his legs, tapping her foot.

     

    Snowball catches on and blushes. "Uh... no thank you?"

     

    "Glorg! Glorg!!!!" she shouts.

     

    "Glorg!" says her father.

     

    "Anyone care for some dessert?" Snowball makes a donut out of Hostess goo and hands it to Goo. She stares at it. He makes another for himself and takes a bite out of it. The white creamy filling leaves a small moustache behind.

     

    Goo takes a tentative bite. "Whuh!" she exclaims as the creamy sweetness envelopes her tongue. She hands the donut to her father. He, too, reacts in happy surprise.

     

    Instantly, the Hoard starts whipping up fancy-looking confections out of Hostess goo.

     

    "Keep at it, lads. It's possible that with the right amount of ingested goo, they might all pass out from insulin shock. Then we could sneak away."

     

    Goo grabs Snowball and plants a huge, gooey kiss on his lips. "Mmmmm..." she murmers, her eyes filled with love.

     

    "Worth a try!" say the Hoard, stepping up production.

     

    To be continued...

    Snowball was killed in the first episode! Remember? Marge was writing the Christmas cards and she mentioned how they now have "Snowball II" after Snowball I's unfortunate demise?

    Sheesh.

    Stacked comics

    in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues

    Posted

    Spine roll. If you stack comics too high the staple side starts to curl upwards. Of course you can stack your comics, but it's recommended that you go no higher then 20 per stack (which in a person with a large collection's case could mean hundreds of tiny little stacks for them to prance around smirk.gif)

     

    This is called "PRESSING". If done properly, it can greatly improve the grade of some of your CGC submissions. smirk.gif

    Accurate DC Whitman list??

    in Bronze Age Comic Books

    Posted

    OK, I got another Whitman variant list from a local collector I know and I also found the list that Doug Sulipa put in CBM #95 and below is what I believe is the most accurate list out there. I had some that Doug's list did not and I had some that he didn't list but I know exist. The most suprising addition that Doug had was a Sgt. Rock 329 which I had never heard of before and will now hunt down. So unless someone knows for sure of any others this will be it. I hope this helps your customer out Lighthouse. Good luck finding all 164(if my math is correct). Here is the list:

     

    Action 481-483,485-492,495-499,501-508 (23)

    Batman 306-308, 311-320,323,324,326 (14)

    Brave & Bold 143,145-147,150-59,165 (14)

    DC Presents 1-4,9-12,14-16,19,21,22 (14)

    Flash 268,273-276,278,283,286 (8)

    Green Lantern 117-119,121 (4)

    JLA 158,160-162,166-169,171-173,176-179,181 (16)

    Legion 244-248,251-258,261,263,264,266 (17)

    Sgt. Rock 329 (1)

    Superman 321-323,325-327,329-332,335-345,348,350 (23)

    Super Friends 13-16,20-23,25,32 (10)

    Wonder Woman 250-252,255-262,264 (12)
