idk what you guys are talkin bout rubs are the best

 

My "new" toys have some rubs... My Zag in particular. It's my own fault because I take him with me on trips and take stupid photos along the way. The paint on the tips of his fingers are getting rubbed off, but hey, it's not like I'm going to sell him. He's with me for the long haul.

 

^^^^^

Which Zag? I may just take him off your hands

 

Haha, the 2011 LB GID Zag. He was my first sofubi toy so he's sticking with me.

 

^^^^

Pft, I already got him

 

I see this taxi driving between both lanes on the highway today so I make my move & get the fuck away from him. I take the next exit & while I am waiting at a red light, I see him coming up behind me... aww man, not this fucking guy again! I am looking at him in my rear view mirror, his head is down & he isn't stopping. There are cars all around, I can't move & he plows into the back of my FIAT.



I get out and scream at him for being an awful driver. He pleads with me not to report the accident (!!!) because he has a small child at home. I let him know I was calling the cops & snapped a photo in case he tried to drive off. I am ok physically but I am absolutely seething at this guy, a professional driver, being so careless & then trying to talk his way out of it like I should feel bad for him! Fuck you taxi driver, if you weren't lying about having a son I sincerely hope someone else teaches him how to drive & I wish you the best of luck finding another job that doesn't put you in the cockpit of a 2,000+ pound cruise missile since looking where you are fucking going is too hard for you.

 

I'm no right wing super patriot but I really don't know how foreigners get licenses (and taxi licenses to boot) so quickly upon entering the US. I hate stereotypes and generalizing but it seems especially true with cab drivers. I'm sorry I've been on enough highways in Buffalo which lead out to the airport and most colleges to know that is a deadly combo. Btw these guys and the college kids constantly on their phones while driving you really have to watch out. Poor driving skills and phones- it's a no wonder we don't have Chips style pile ups every day.

I'm totally for making getting licenses harder and mandatory retesting after age 60. While the former will never happen (think state revenue), the latter might (again think state revenue).

psilo I would have told that asshole to get bent and I hope you lose your license dickwad.

 

Fuck Petsmart for selling me an aggressive fish and not warning me about it. Second time this has happened. First time it was an African frog, was told they're "super docile and shy"... Nope, it attacked my little cory catfish, raked its claws against its side, and killed it.
This time they sell me a dwarf gourami, tell me it's "a great centerpiece for a tank, very docile if you don't have another gourami"... It literally rips the face off of my cory catfish and the poor thing dies 7 hours later.

What the hell, Petsmart. Either stop lying to me, or stop pretending like you know shit. You keep killing my favorite fish.

 

I think like anything else, you are better off not going to a big box chain when looking for expertise. After the first issue I probably would have blacklisted them... sorry for your loss.

 

I'm so sorry to hear that H.I. I used to work there years ago, but left after five years of BS capped by them initiating policies that made it harder to care for the animals plus getting passed over for a very basic promotion.

I think my local Petsmarts have run off any employees that gave a shit about pet care.



P.S. - Cories are the best! There are a couple of varieties of "giant" cories available (they get about 4 inches long usually), or you can keep the little guys in schools. They tend to play around a lot more in groups. Plus they fart.

 

Giant farting cories? I'm sold! But seriously, I love cories. Such comical little fish and they do a great job finishing off any flakes that make it to the bottom of the tank. The one the gourami killed was a green cory that I had for about a year, really grew attached to him.
Guess it's time to look into local aquarium shops, not sure if I want to test my luck with Petsmart again.

 

^^^That's so cute! I had some cories as a little girl, and they were my favorite too. They seem like happy fish, always doing something comical. ...by the way, welcome back Purple Bat!

 

Fuck you sdcc for making pre registration the same day and time as DCON.

 

^

That is precisely the reason I came to this thread today.

So yeah....Fuck You SDCC for making a shitload of toy nerds scramble like mad at zero hour to find friends/family who will be willing to sit at a computer for two hours to maybe be granted the privilege to pay $220 for badges. Or....

You will see herds of geek fumble fucking around on the iphone while trying to make credit card purchases at the same time

Complete. Fucking. Nightmare.

 

SDCC is absolutely lame regardless. Everything you want can be found after or even during the con. You have to dredge through a sea of fat, sweaty goons just to get to a table usually filled with fat, sweaty goons who are ill-tempered thinking they've created the hottest piece of shit ever known to man. The only pleasure I get from SDCC are the free tix I get every year and then never use because a day at the beach is ALWAYS paramount to this slovenly, pedestrian affair

 

SDCC has blown itself out unless you collect Fu*ko!

 

I've never understood the appeal of SDCC. Just looks like a hot mess you pay shitloads of cash to be in! Then again I'm not much on crowds and you won't find vintage toys there

 

^You won't ever catch me there. Too much money, too many idiots, and a low probability of getting the toys I want....

And now with so much coverage of the event I can enjoy the perks virtually anyway. I"d much rather go to a small gallery opening.

 

You guys crack me up.

I've been to SDCC nearly 30 years in a row, and while toys are the main reason I attend, it is also tradition now amongst the homies to gather and party before, during, and after the show. It also brings the opportunity to meet legends of the craft . Folks like Mike Mignola, Ray Bradbury, Stan Lee, Sergio Aragones, Kevin O'Neil, Grant Morrison, and Bernie Wrightson are just a few names that pop into the noggin for which I am thrilled to have met.

I also bumped into Kerry King from Slayer, watched Tenacious D play, and shared an elevator ride with Glen Danzig. I find it fun to just take a break, munch down a slice of pizza, and watch all the cosplay geeks walk around.

Most importantly, it is a 4 day weekend right in the middle of summer, which is my busiest time of the year.

That being said, FUCK YOU SDCC for putting up badge sales at the exact same time the doors open for Dcon !

 

You also live there, and so are dialed into how to make the experience enjoyable. Without knowing locals, I'm looking at spending over a grand just in flights/hotels to be bewildered by massive crowds. Living there is a whole other scenario. I would enjoy it if I lived there.

But I am jealous of all those awesome comic icons you've gotten to meet. That's quite a list.

 

seriously. those fucknuts.
