    I thought so...
    Ah well Tree, guess that means no discount! Sorry!

    I accept cash, and all major Credit Cards. ;)

    My very own thread .... Aw gee .. thanks Fysh.. *GLARE*
    If it wasn't me on the rooftops about your flat before it will be now. Or I'll at least send a dozen loyal Aardvark guards to .. keep you awake at night with bizarre aardvark noises? I needs me better, more threatening minions I think. And the damned aadvarks are always trying to eat the comics in the office anyway.

    Mind you, if you don't think Aardvark guards are enough to keep away stalkers, Miss Shelly swings a mean pimp cane at non-paying stalkers.

    Speaking of which, Miss Shelly, No Discounts! Bad Shelly. My cut sucks enough as it is without you discounting folk. And I wouldn't even wear that green nail varnish, so it's a definite no.

    I'll pay an extra 10% for Colin to wear the green nail varnish, Shelly!
    Seriously though, as the boss of a super-duper cool comic supplying enterprise you have to expect some adoring fans (read psychotic stalker-types) to want a piece of you. Honestly, I don't think anyone expected Fysh to be leading the stalker brigade though... Feel flattered, Colin, really ¬_¬
    P.s. Where did you come up with the username Longshadow? And what brand of toothpaste do you use? I need the info for my files...

    I'm not so much a leader of the stalker brigade as an enabler for the rest of you, content to watch (and occasionally laugh with evil intent) from the sidelines.

    Also, release the winged monkeys!

    Deny your love for Hawt Colin no longer, man! Join the ranks of the stalker brigade and help turn him into a gibbering paranoid wreck of a man :)

    Hey Fysh, got your PM about becoming President of the Hawt Colin Stalker Brigade, I like some of your ideas, the pics of you in the 'official' t-shirt were a bit much though.
    Will discuss more details via PM.

    And oh yeah, the name Longshadow is something a friend of mine happened to take to calling me the day I signed up to Boards. It's a faux-Indian kinda joke nickname (I'm 6 3") thing.
    Course all of the above is in my public profile..
    As for toothpaste, whatever I can manage from rummaging through the neighbours trash, mostly. This one time I found a really sweet oven cleaner that did the job real well. That was the week my last girlfriend left me, funnily enough.
    Ahhhh ... memories...

    The scent of desperation lingers in the air...

    In the meantime, I have invested in a new purty digital camera to facilitate the Hawt Colin stalking :)

    Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. whoa. This isn't my batman cup. But anyway. Who said "President"? I specifically said "tyrant and dictator for life". And those shirts have been printed up already so there's not a lot we can do about that, I'm afraid...

    He doesn't scare all that easily anymore... He's known me for a good few years now.
    Worked out all the fear of Crazy he had.

    If I looked traumatized at all it's cos I've been off alcohol for almost two and a half months now. Going out just isn't the same sober.. .. Nothing is the same sober.
    *glassy stare of the addict*
    Luckily my 'back drinking' date roughly coincides with the Dublin Comic-Con. I may have a tradestand to run, but Goddammit I'll run it drunk, or at the very least hungover.
    Speaking of which, are people going to the pub quiz/get drunk the Friday night before? I'm presuming people are, right?

    There's at least me planning on heading up on Friday for the quiz, probably a few others too. It will depend on work and the financial situation for myself anyway...
    I trust a drunk Holin will be more inclined towards conversation and less likely to go tharn when I try to talk to him, yes? :rolleyes:

    You stumbled on the phrase, then attempted to correct yourself, then agreed when I pointed out that Holin was in fact a great new name. I demand at least partial credit. (Whether I get it or not remains to be seen...)

    Have you never read Watership Down, Holin? Ye gods! You can probably get a comic version if you're really stuck...
    "Tharn is a fictional word to discribe an animal frozen in terror.
    In 'Watership Down' the term is used when the main characters, which are rabbits, see the headlights of oncoming cars and are frozen in place." according to wikipedia.

    And Fysh, that would be like me trying to take partial credit for Nextwave just because I've read it and happen to think it rocks! :rolleyes: Although, we wouldn't want you to hurt yourself trying to come up with something original so yeah, leech off my witful stumblings if you feel you must :p
    I wonder how long we can get away with calling him Holin before he stabs one of us in the eye... :D

    I'll look for a comic version. I don't understand these 'real' books. How the hell are you supposed to know what's happening if there are no pictures?
    I'm not actually a stabby person. Honest. Though I must admit a particular fondness for that good ol' solution to all problems as most famously evinced by Franky in 'The Goon' ..
    'Knife to the eye!'
    And yes, I do realize the above two sentences may have somewhat contradicted each other. But if anyone wants to argue about it, well then ..
    Knife to the eye!

    Four to a team, no? Or am I remembering right.. I'm guessing teams are best formed on the spur on the night. I think I'll be travelling up with some unfortunates I'll have roped into staffing my stand, so there may well be a full 'Getyourcomics' team. Possibly maybe.
    (note, this complement of staff will include my little brother, who I fully intend on 'throwing to the wolves' of the Hawt Colin Appreciation society in my stead. He's such a pretty, pretty boy, he is. Ye have my permission to (ab)use him as ye see fit. And he he doesn't post to boards so he won't even know what awaits him.
