And best of all, it has black rubber soles that let you wear the costume outdoors too!

Just make sure you wash 'em tomorrow morning.

ROFL!

Wouldn't that go perfect w/ "Apartment Turned into Starship Enterprise" auction that ricky found a couple weeks ago?

That's nothing. Who wants to see me in my Rawhide Kid costume?

[drbanner]

Dude, I think saw enough of the Rawhide costume in the "new" Rawhide book!! Now, if you had a WW costume there are some here that might be interested...anyhow, who's gonna offer me the big bucks for the shirt??

 

[yertle]

Sadly I don't have a WW costume but I might be able to throw together a Conan costume. Any takers?

Have you seen the commercial for that deodorant that is so great it practically hypnotizes women? It makes it so that you can say or do anything and women are still ok. The first scene in the ad has a couple eating dinner and the guy stares at a hottie walking by and his date says wow, she is hot. The 2nd scene is a couple talking and she says - threesome, no problem. And there are a couple other scenes like that. But the final scene has a really hot girl giggling loudly and she says" that is soooo funny - I COLLECT COMICS TOO !" Maybe this is the guy from that ad. Made me think back - my wife had no idea I had any interest in comics until after we were married. We met in college when I had no money and had lost interest in coimcs - so it wasn't until I had money and had been married about 6 months that comics became an addiction again.

Ahhh...one of the truly great aspects of this hobby is that long boxes are easily concealed in a closet or basement....hidden from the eyes of unsuspecting prey!

 

Great Commercial, BTW.

There's only one thing you can collect that'll hurt your dating life as much as comics, and it's severed heads... and even that's debatable.

 

I remember one time in my halycon university days, I had a hottie over and it was all wine and roses, we were talking over where to head for breakfast, etc.. She asked if I had a brush, and I told her to look in the drawer, while I headed for the shower.

 

Immediately she said she had "something she'd forgotten to do" and the door slammed.

 

I tore out and sure enough, I could see a stack of ASM issues I'd bought at a show that weekend, visible from the half-opened drawer. Nice books to be sure, but from that day forward I boxed those buggers immediately and tossed them in the closet.

 

Full disclosure is fine for most things, but comic collecting has a stigma that just won't quit. Even porn isn't a big deal compared to a comic.

Too true. I'll take a couple of "strategically placed" Playboy's over a stack of ASM's any day.

Its actually not a bad looking costume; the mask looks like it was rushed -- for my 30th, my wife organized a surprise b-day party where everyone dressed-up as a superhero... that black alien costume would have been a pretty neat one to have lying aroun; it was by far the most fun we ever had at any party. It was in the summer months, so everyone ended-up in the pool -- its also worth noting that despite the division between Marvel and DC, everyone wanted a piece of wonder-woman..

[joe_collector]

Now there's a story to keep Greggy warm during those cold Canadian winters.

[musicmeta]

Amen to that. My wife had no idea I collected comics until AFTER we were married. There's a time and place for full disclosure and comics came after the knot was tied.

[FlyingDonut]

You know, this is the attitude that keeps us all looking like geeks. Mrs. Donut knew very early into our relationship. Be open, boys! If she can't deal with you collecting comics, you don't want to be with her!

[musicmeta]

I'm pretty sure it would not have made a difference, but I wasn't ready to take that chance. When she found out, she just said "OH" and that was about it.

 

 

[awe4one]

Ditto....in fact my wife (girlfriend at the time) bought me comics and sent them to me when I was deployed right from the get-go. She never had a problem with it....though she would never read one. She still does to this day...I received a package two days ago with a month's fill of comics.

Amen to that! Different story in middle and high school though, but after you "grow up" feel free to share the real you...if you know who that is.

 

In fact, comics became cool again once I was in college as I could show others that the artistic and literary arts were alive and well in pop culture! And it's definitely a Yuppie hobby when you start spending money on it ($100+ books), so like many of us once were, there are probably lots of collectors-in-hibernation that would be willing to get back into the hobby if they saw that their peers enjoyed it as well...
