[clobberintime]

Well you know pet lions are really more in vogue than tigers - and the Alps are so 2001!! You are such a mid-continent low brow peasant, please do not come back unless you can post in French(the international language of love) or else i will have to taunt you a second time!

You go Clobbintime! I could careless about someone's else house,car,vactions,ect.. If i wanted to go to Europe,I can afford it.But do I brag about saying I can? Nope. The only reason I can go to Europe or buy a comic that like 5K or something is because Im single and no kids.But since this is about comic books,That's what i stick to and everyone else,unlike Deletkle or what ever how you spell it.I don't see Tommy B braggin about his wealth or BlazingBob braggin about his FF 12 9.4.Im always interested in what people have.I'd like to hear some bragging going on about what people have,and yes i did sell alot of stuff to get that 14,why have all this high grade common when i can have something nice like that 14? makes sense to me,I think more people should do something like that since alot of people on here think the market is crashing.BTW comiclink sold a ASM 5 for $33,000...doesn't lool like it 's crashing to me,but hey what do i know?

[Guest]

totally, that one book is the entire market!

I thought your about me page was one of the funniest things I had ever seen - about like wearing the Boss label on your suit coat sleave kind of deals.

WTF?!!!! you can't be seriously doing this? that is supalame, you don't have to leave the label on your sleeve to try to show everybody what kind of suit it is. if it's a good suit they will know, for those that you want to impress, they'll know. besides hugo boss is not even really that top of the line, try giorgio armani black label, gucci, prada only if your fit, or even ermengildo zegna for pete's sake! of course with the sleeve labels off

[clobberintime]

I am laughing very hard! I am not a real style guy - most of my stuff is old brooks bothers. I do like K. Cole shoes though. My point was that needlessly talking about your expensive habits is akin to that guy keeping the label on his jacket to let you know it is prada or whoever. Tacky.

I am posting from my chateau in Whistler, BC, recently voted the #1 ski destination in the world. When I'm out sailing in my 60 ft yacht in Feb, I rent my chateau for $1,400/night. I keep pedigree Nic Cage cgc Action 1, Detect 27 on display at the top of the world to entertain myself & my many ladyfriends who SWOON, Yes, Odin u really are omniPOTENT. Enough hyperbole, let's talk comics.

[Guest]

Too bad Odin called a halt to Show and Tell! I was going to plug my new world class Swinery and Chateau right in the heart of Napa Valley Swine country!

[clobberintime]

aHH - NOTHING LIKE SOME PORK HUMOR! Was thinking about your post the other week about the power of snatch. Once made me get on a plane in the middle of winter to fly from Atlanta to Syracuse -spending some of my reserve student loan funds - miss several days of class and go to one of the coldest places on earth. It was worth every penny though - a very impressive venture according to the young lady i flew up there to "see".

[delekkerste]

I don't see a lot of people on here going on and on about their wealth and possessions etc - outside of comic books - except you! I don't know how many posts of yours I saw on here about you leaving for europe and you coming back over and over.

 

See, Clobberin', once again it's your pettiness that has kept you from grasping the point. I don't go "on and on" about my wealth and possessions here. But since you're so sensitive about this issue, you picked up on one or two posts and have turned it into some giant class warfare issue.

 

May I remind you that it was YOU who pulled info from my eBay bio out of context and introduced the whole jet-set thing as some ad hominem attack against me here. Check my eBay bio - all it says that I enjoy traveling and that my favorites cities outside of NYC are Nice and Amsterdam. That's it. Doesn't say I own houses or boats or spend lots of money or what not. Yet you're so worked about it that you twisted it around and throw it in our faces every time you respond to one of my posts. It's always attacking the messenger with you, never the message.

 

For the record, I have NEVER mentioned anything about NON-COMIC possessions on this Board. How do I know that? Because I don't have any non-comic possessions worth talking about. No house, no car, no boat, nothing else. I do have a substantial investment portfolio and once or twice I have mentioned that, but only because I was responding to BlazingBob or some other fool who won't take anyone seriously who doesn't have money and has made posts to that effect. I've posted over 300 times on this Board - how many posts mention wealth, vacations, etc.? Maybe 2%, if you exclude posts like this where I am compelled to respond to your ad hominem attacks?

 

And I have never mentioned my vacation in the context of "I can afford this and you can't", which you are clearly making it out to be. I posted a couple of times to let people know I would be away for a month and made a couple of posts indicating I had returned. Some people were actually curious about my vacation and so I responded to them as well. We're a community here, and I'm interested to hear if Scottish gets a new job or if RickDogg has a new girlfriend or whatnot. The only one who seems to have a problem with it is YOU, and the people whose opinions you have tained with your half-truths about me and my posting behavior. You've clearly the one with the issues here.

 

And I don't mind you calling me "Mr. Smartypants". I admit it. I'll always be Reed Richards to your Ben Grimm.

[clobberintime]

It's clobberintime - smartypants!

[supapimp]

clobberdyousilly- don't know if you wear a suit to work, but i can understand if your suits are brooks bros then. as for kenneth cole shoes, i've owned 5 pairs over the last 3 years, and all 5 went to shreds, now i just wear prada (formal) or prada sport shoes (casual). ....pimpy

[delekkerste]

Yeah, Supa, I hear what you're saying about the Kenneth Cole shoes. I've worn out many a pair while dancing the night away in Rio with my Brazilian supermodel girlfriend, playing Baccarat in the "salle privee" at the Monaco casino, racing my prized thoroughbreds in Dubai, playing golf on my private course in Edinburgh, cutting billion-dollar movie deals in Hollywood and all the other stuff that Clobberin' is always saying I'm boasting about.

 

I guess I can only aspire to become the man Clobberin' accuses me of already being!

 

Gene (that's "Mr. Smartypants" to you)

[clobberintime]

Hey - there could be a lot worse things to be called by one such as I with so eloquent and voluminous a vocabulary. How bout Pretentious Pants!!!

[clobberintime]

I really had no idea that prada made mens clothing. Guess i will have to tune into to fashion network to get a clue with that sort of stuff. I only wear a suit when I have to go to Court which is about once a week -it is way too hot and humid to be wearing a suit too much here. When I worked for other people I had to wear a suit every day and I decided when I opened my own office, i would wear what I wanted to. On Fridays I often wear Levis and a polo - if I have any clients that don't like it, I tell them they need another hired gun than me. Best part of being self employed is i can tell anyone that walks thru the door to walk right back out if I have a problem with them.

Yours may be bigger but I associate w/ more important ppl. Just flew the following VIPs into Vancouver on 1 of my private jets to have the best dim sum in the world: Steve Geppi, John Snyder, Nic Cage, Stan the Man, J Kirby, J Byrne, N Adams, S Ditko, J Buscema. Think I'll let my good buddy J Parrino write this off as a business expense as I show him the complete Kirby orig art to FF 1 including cover.

[FlyingDonut]

Oh you pikers.

 

After I finish lighting up the Mile High Action 1 to start the fire in my huge Charles Foster Kane-esque fireplace, I casually reflect upon the original artwork hanging on the wall. You have to remember that I must rotate it, as sun tends to fade these works. I do have a debate, though, as to whether or not Jerry Robinson or Bob Kane was the artist on that Detective piece. I think its 27, but I'm not sure. It is often obscured by the Michelangelo and the two Da Vincis.

"You have to remember that I must rotate it, as sun tends to fade these works."

 

nah, just throw them on the fire too, its only money

[FlyingDonut]

No, we try not to throw the artwork into the fire as the ink tends to make the flames leap. My daughter uses the Picassos to color on, as she can stay within the lines.

Not replying to anyone in particular...

 

What I'm finding interesting about all this is that on this forum, real wealth is the comics you own. No one cares about Eurpean vacations (heck, I spent 6 months in Europe once and the entire thing cost me $2,500. Lived out of a backpack, and had the time of my life, but it sure as heck wasn't about having any wealth!), or bags of money (well, I'd like the bag of money. If you want to send it to me sans fighting, Meth -- just because it's in the way, or something -- I'll take it), or yachts or any of that stuff. What matters here is what comics you have and in what grade. That's the yardstick. And the bragging isn't always about how much was paid, but how little. That's, after all, the true measure of things -- didja get a good deal?

 

And does it count if you know the creators of comics? Not so much. Own the art? Only to a few. Here it's all about the Spideys.

 

Personally, I'm thrilled that I'm never a player in these numbers games. It's more fun to watch you guys duke it out over keys while I sift through my longboxes and hope someone will give me $5 for this, or $10 for that. When I make rent, I'm the wealthiest gal in the world. I don't go to an office, or have a boss, or answer to anyone, I just sit here in my poverty and enjoy life.

 

Oh, and I've been to John Byrne's house. Beat that.
