If you are flamable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit.

So yeah, I read a few, but am looking to cut way back-- I cannot get myself to quit X-Men. I've been reading it since I was but a lad (story of my life with my collections--since I was a lad--).
Well, it might also be more fun here because we were 'grandfathered in' as more than a sitings thread, we are much like the disgrunteled Brits, we talk about pretty much anything, but it centers around Tfs, and toys in general.
But TFPredaking is right about one thing we are all pretty old hats at being members of this site, either active or passive.
And I am not sure that crazy line correctly describes all of us, we are quirky--I mean we collect toys and comics, and come talk about it on the internet rather than go hang out with actual people-- quirky...
We do have the more frequent gatherings which as has been stated, boosts relationships.
JTK-- I have to say, I am officially jealous of your newest haul. It would be perfect if it had the 2nd and 3rd waves of 25th Joes in it.
You are quite the hunter. Huzzah to JT! "HUZZAH!"

Since you obviously have Michigan roots you are always welcome here, especially since you have an U of M alumn in your gene pool. We'll forgive you the MSU part.

If you find a way let me know. I was not aware that alcohol was a factor on the actual internet and I'd like to know how.
Stop by anytime skyblast. We don't discriminate. It helps if you talk Lions, Tigers, Red Wings, U of M, MSU, or about other local happenings, like our state's budget crisis, our state's job crisis, the state of our state's highways, or you can talk like a 'yupper' (or Canadian, I suppose).
JT, I want that gold coin Darktrooper. Heck, I just want a darktrooper, and then a UGH to keep minty...were they at TRU? And I can't believe you actually bought more Pit Droids (and Battle Droids too:P )/jk---.

Too late for me now. I took an afternoon nap. But if it is not, grab the other for me?
Highbeam, I did see at least two Blackouts at the Westland TRU today, but that was early, around noon.
Rijie Seeking:
Botcon 2009--Souvenir Sweeps
Botcon 2010--Souvenirs Rapido, Scorch/Shattered Glass Ravage
MISP preferred, but will consider opened NM/Complete, especially for older figures. Lots of TFs for trade! Please PM any inquiries, serious interest only!

Hm, I doubt they'll still be there on Monday when I could wander over there. I've got a car show to hang at tomorrow, so I can't check then.

Greetings from Ireland!

I'm over here for a week and a half this time. flew overnight. it's a 10 am here, 5 am at home, so if any of you are actually out of bed right now.... um.. there's something wrong with you
well, here's hoping I can get some caffiene here soon and stop looking like this
