Did I meet him? Well, frankly I can't remember if I was personally introduced. I was sitting there at one computer, and they walked by. Our guy said "And here's some of our copyeditors" and indicated us (I don't think he said my name but it's possible). And he pointed at my co-worker/roommate Alexis and said "here's the guy who reads the new books in Japanese to explain what they're about" and Stan said something like "but you explain in English, right?" ha ha... So thus my roommate got a whole sentence spoken to him by Stan Lee, and I got a passing glance.

I didn't want to make a big deal though. A lot of people lined up and got autographs, and his visit just was not meant to be anything like that. It was a business visit (though the subject of it is quite the mystery), not a geek fan visit. But a lot of people here totally geeked out--well, I guess that was predictable.

Signing the shield was a definite must though; I mean, seriously, who could pass that up? This is a 2 to 3 foot metal shield which cost over 200 dollars. But just random pieces of paper that will likely be lost--too much of a waste of his valuable time.

Undeniable proof.  I suggest you copy this thread and keep it posted near your cubicle, just in case someone challenges you on this fact.

So while AFK in CoH right now, reading the Jedi balance thing thread, someone came along and invited me to a supergroup named 'Women of Paragon City'.

I declined. Only too much gender bending I can take.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Well actually...when he heard Stan was coming, he ran home and got the shield. (He only lives a few blocks away.)

And yes, he got a picture of the two of them holding the shield together.

My car was smashed by a cement pumping truck and died. The insurance company is only paying the cost of buying another used car (according to their own appraisal) outright, which doesn't include the cost of actually replacing the car. It's like I've been forced to sell my only car at a loss, with no opportunity for replacing it, and someone came along and beat me on my back and neck with a stick to boot.

So sorry, Kristy and Janci, I can't kidnap you buys for after-TLE hijinks anymore. At least not until we can afford a new set of wheels (which from this point in time looks like never).

In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy my Dodge Dakota rental while it lasts. Woo hoo. A whole week until I'm car-less with appointments across Provo and Orem and three kids to taxi around.

Sometimes life just sucks.
