I am a sick, sick man.
« on: September 26, 2003, 09:41:32 PM »
Now that I've given everyone on the forum fodder for teasing (that's my job, despite what MoD thinks of herself)...

In the last two days I have won two auctions for old school GI Joe Figures. Jinx and Scarlett. I only paid $3 for Jinx, AFTER shipping. I paid $8 after shipping for Scarlett, but she has the "file card" and all the gear too.
I needed more ninjas for my desk. Also, if I'm ever going to do the digital camera comic, I need more girls, so everyone can have a girlfriend. The problem is, I need more villains too. Maybe I'll just say all women are evil. That will even things up a bit.

You can never have too many ninjas for your desk. Or penguins, for that matter.

Hum.  Wish I had some figs to give you.  The only one I ever realy kept ahold of was Snakeyes, and I lost him somewhere a few years back.

Oh, well.

PS--not everyone needs girlfriends.  Watch an action movie sometimes.  The sidekicks rarely get a girl.  Some sort of Darwinian action-hero thing.  One has to wonder, if they never let the poor comic-relief characters breed, then were with the future sidekicks come from?

I think their the runts of the superhero litters.
actually, the girlfriend thing was something I was developing but I've since abandoned. That doesn't however, mean that i"m not still using it as an excuse to buy more toys

And thanks for the offer. I actually have the 2003 versions of "Snake Eyes versus Stormshadow" which is one of the few examples where both figures in the set are actually big improvements over the old versions.

ok, now I'm really sick. As in, with a disease. My body won't stop aching and I can't breathe

So my wife leaves me alone with the kids. She's really too kind.

Anyway, I should be working on resumes at least, but apparently, i'm just waiitng for someone to play Buttonmen with me.

Thats how I felt when I first got my cold. Then I started saying I have a tumor in my head. Which it may still be there, I dunno. Anyone know how to use an x-ray machine?

Actually yes, I used to work as a Vet Tech before I went to college. I know how to use the machine, develop Xrays and avoid life threating radiation.

You can actually make an Xray machine from a microwave.. but only if you put it under the bed.
