CI would have a field day with this week's Comic quiz

[FlyingDonut]

PLEASE do not associate me with JENS' answer. I actually looked at Showcase 22 (or the reprint thereof).

 

 

[Darthdiesel]

Wow - I missed and day and the whole Jens25e incident...seems like our German buddy has been ostracized....sorry Donut....

 

Let me clarify - it was the fact that YOU (whom I regard as having an in-depth knowledge of old "fogey" books ) answered Broome that made me dooubt the validity of Gemma's answer.

[FlyingDonut]

I still think it should be Broome - he created the Hal Jordan character, but given what we've heard from above, I can live with it. Like I need more boxes, anyway.

i think CI is just hibernating for the winter

[greggy]

Too bad, it would have been fun to see him rip jens yesterday due to his stupid threads!

[BachelorOfComix]

Remember when CI laid into Jens when he was begging for stars??? That was the most insulting, vile post I have ever read here. And there have been a lot of insulting, vile posts! Kinda felt sorry for Jens after I read CI's post.

 

Cheers,

Yeah, it was bad. Too bad I missed the responses because the thread got pulled when I returned home!

[supapimp]

i think that was the infamous "nazi" post

[BachelorOfComix]

Yeh, it was REAL bad. CI sure spit venom with that post.

Note that CI said in that thread that he would be investigating his emphatic challenge to the claim of Metropolis's discovery of this very minor collection.

 

I figured he was currently in a hotel in Devil's Lake, investigating the whereabouts of the house where the discovery took place to find the stick of butter and have it carbon-dated by a lab to prove that it hadn't really been sitting there for 20 years. God bless him on his crusade, he's really walking with the angels through the valley in the shadow of darkness on this one!

Actually, he did proclaim that he would be back to prove Metropolis wrong. He never did. Maybe you're right and it's because he's on the road looking for the definitive proof. He really got into that one, so somehow it wouldn't surprise me.

CI is off getting a geritol enima.

Or battling with his alzheimers syndrome.

In reading his past posts, I note that he kind of reminds me of my uncle that has severe post dramatic stress disorder from Nam....or hes always drunk.

Sad, really...because now we may never know what happens to a block of butter after sitting out in the open on a table for 25+years!?!? And to think, the integrity of the world's largest comic book dealer, and indeed, one could argue, the very legitimacy of the back-issue comic book industry itself, hung in the balance - was there really a "dirty yellow brick", or not!

"I still can't believe that we lost CI to the forum over a stick of butter though."

 

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. I actually agreed with some of his views, but after hearing the same things over and over again it just got old. Like a one trick pony.

 

Cool, two "horse" references in the same post. Don't worry, I'm sure he'll be back to say "I told you so." one more time.

[greggy]

Yeah, I read the first post and made the first reply. Then MajorKhaos jumped in and all hell broke loose! The thread was pulled quick!

[greggy]

Yo Banner, what the hell is your avatar right now?

[Bugaboo-migration]

Then MajorKhaos jumped in and all hell broke loose.

........seems like that's always the recipe for a disaster.

I miss my poor ablue!

 

! I miss you "missing" him.
