Your most obnoxious encounter with a non collector.

[Paratrooper]

Hey Paratrooper, did you know Jimi Hendrix use to jump?

 

I knew I liked him for some other reason than his fantastic music

The only story I have is from a customer. He had a date over to his house and she saw his action figures and his comics and she kept making comments about how can he read them, he's an adult, comics are for kids, etc. At some point she went to the bathroom so he had a minute alone. A few minutes later there was a car horn honking outside. "Your cab is here," he said. He then put her in the cab and paid the fare and she was hopping mad.

She clearly wasn't very bright; he was never likely to put out after she'd ridiculed his stuff - items he obviously thought enough of to display. It's right there in Dating 101. Slightly amusing is that the guy then told other people the story - I guess you were in comics too so you'd understand.

 

There was a story I read here about someone buying a comic for about 2 bucks from a dealer who had annoyed them, perhaps by not letting them handle his valuable Image comics, and then tearing it in half in front of him. Pretty obnoxious all round!

 

I avoid such encounters by not mentioning my collection and treating it as my secret shame. Some people drink alone...I buy Archies.

[Scrooge]

That's got to be an instant classic!!!

A true sig line if I saw one.

it was a dealer getting frustrated with a guy asking about Secret Wars 7 - and how the copy the dealer was selling was overpriced because of a myriad of tiny flaws. the dealer, who had already offered it to the guy for like 1/4 of guide, took the book as if to examine it, then tore it in two, and asked the guy how much he thought it was worth in that condition

It just came to me at work, who do you guys consider a civilian? All you pukes are civies to me, so who does a civilian consider to be a civilian?

[The Black Hand ®]

Just a nickname for non collectors, no offense to those currently active military men and women.

Pukes is not a word.

I'm sure all of the board members enjoyed being called pukes. You've got a way with words.

There are plenty of people on the boards who are active or prior service (including myself). I certainly used the term "pukes", and "leg", when I was in the Army speaking with other soldiers, but you're on a non-military board here and folks here might not take kindly to your copping an attitude. So chill out, dude.

[The Black Hand ®]

He was just joking, I PM'd him, I served as well and mentioned That I was just fooling around with that term, so it's cool, he was just yankin' our crank. Nonetheless, for the sake of harmony, I'll change the title.

They call me Mr. Puke...

[Paratrooper]

You guys take things too seriously, in no way was i serious when I called you all pukes. So chill out dirty nasty legs

Dirty Nasty Legs. I think I'll change my name to that. Sounds kinda kinky. I'll try it out on the wife tonight and see if it works.

See somebody gets my humor, although using dirty nasty legs in the bedroom sounds kinda wrong. Don't be surprised if she gives you a nice kick in the dirty nasty gonads
