YOU MIGHT BE A DROOLING FANBOY IF...

[Red Hook]

You've seriously discussed with a friend how cool it would be if Yankee Candle created an "Old Comic Book Scent" car deodorizer.

...you can tell the difference between a 9.8, 9.9 and 10.0

 

...you claim that you can tell the difference between a 9.8, 9.9 and 10.0

 

....you know what MMMS is, and sing the tune in the shower.

 

....a comic reference comes up in a movie, and the person you're watching with misses the following 20 mintues of the movie because you're busy explaining why the reference was inaccurate, and berrating the insufficiently_thoughtful_person writer for not doing his research.

 

.....you put someone in the hospital for saying "aren't comics for kids", after admitting that you collect.

 

......you end up in the hospital after trying to put someone in the hospital for saying "aren't comics for kids", after admitting that you collect.

 

.....you're out with a hot girl, and all you can think about is if you set a high-enough bid on your sniping software.(I'm an insufficiently_thoughtful_person )

 

.....you see Alley Bagget on the street and say "look, it's Alley Cat!"

 

.....your mantra is "At least I don't collect magic the gathering".

 

......your sole motivation for career advancement is to further your collection.

 

.....you hear about an upcomming comic documentary on the discovery channel, and spend 3 months preparing.

 

.....you start comparing the size of your biceps to Captain America's.

 

......you'd like to be able to compare the size of your biceps to Captain America's, but a comparison with your little sister's is more apropriate.

 

......you check this message board in the morning before you shower or shave.

 

....when hearing about or watching a catastrophic event occur somewhere in the world, you find yourself wishing that Superman, or the Avengers did exist.

...you've won more than one no-prizes.

[COI]

...you've won more than one no-prizes.

 

...you know what a no-prize means, and find yourself wondering if 2 no-prizes = a prize, and if people who have won an even number of no-prizes, and recieved "no prizes" should get together and consult a tort lawyer. (2 negatives = a positive).

The only reason you put in Overtime at work is to help pay for the next book you really really want

 

You buy the Justice League figures and then tell your wife "I got a good price on them and they'll be great gifts for (place childs name here)'s birthday present" then secretly opening them and taking them up to work as desk trinkets

 

Your co-workers ask you why you have super hero figures at your desk and you tell them that (place childs name here) didn't like them as birthday presents.

 

You visit your LCS 3 days after picking up the new releases just to see if there's anything you might have missed

- you work in a large office (not in the mail room) and yet are still on a first name basis with all 3 delivery guys.

 

- you move across country and devote 80% of your carry on luggage space to HG comic books and look suspicious to everyone in the airport as you keep the carry on close to you while avoiding ppl within 25 ft. of you (I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ESP. IN THE US)

 

- your comic price guide has more sticky notes on it than any document on your desk at work.

 

- You know that Daniel Dupcak is AKA Hammer, AKA, Richard Koos, AKA Comic Keys and why that is a bad thing.

 

- You and your insurance agent have had long arguements over the price estimate in your collection.

 

- You take the comics in your LCS account and proceed directly to the racks to compare copy received with best copy available.

 

- You undstand the terms - PLOD, BA, SA, GA, BSD, LCS, ASM, MTU, DD, 'TEC, HOM, HOS.

 

- You can name the real names of all the Green Lanterns that have fronted a comic Book.

 

- you can rattle off the first and or cameo app. of at lesat 100 comic book characters.

 

- You could play comic books trivial pursuit against all of your coworkers and their families combined and win before they got 2 pies.

....you based the purchase of your new home on whether it has a large cool & dry storage place.

 

....you finally recognize that the other people in your LCS really do look like the unwashed masses that you've heard about. But you still fail to see this in yourself at the mirror.

 

....you can finally pick up a comic with any female superhero in uniform and actually read the story, not just stare at the purty pictures.

You ARE a drooling fanboy if you actually understand the majority of these replies!

[chrisco37]

....You have paid more than cover price for any comic.

 

....the "highlight purchase" of your last comic show was Peter Porker #2 to "finish the run".

 

....you actually bid on the Simon Bisley "Lobo: Paramilitary Xmas Special" artwork in the last Heritage auction w/ the intention of winning.

 

 

I'm a drooling fanboy.

No matter how old you are, you're a kid again when you walk into a comic book store.

You've got two teenage daughters, work on a Mac, and wonder why Freedom Force is only available on the PC platform.

Great game! Still haven't completed it though.

One thing I did was went on-line and got skins for Wolverine, Captain Marvel and Green Lantern.

I think I made Captain Marvel a bit too powerful though as he was knocking whole buildings down with one punch!

[metropoliscomics]

-if you call Borock for notes more than once a month

-if you sit and ponder what would happen if galactus really existed

-if you think about who is the better archer Green Arrow, Hawkeye, Yondu or The Archer?

-If you wish Mark Haspel and Paul LItch were your drinking buds

-if you stand in line at a con to have your pic taken with Sonny Schroeder the guy who played Enos on the Dukes of Hazard

-if you have fantasized about an orgy with Lady Death, Shi and Vampirella-guilty as charged...

Look for Freedom Force 2 , to come out in the not to distant future.

 

 

And you know you a comic geek when you make fun of Trekkies.. for knowing which Episode the Tribbles took over the Enterprise.

And yet you find it perfectly normal to know every outfit change Wolverine went through, and how long his costume "ears" were at their very highest point.

And are actually shocked to find out this is not common knowledge to the free world.
