Man, the guy even looks like The Comic Book Guy . I hope he has the same kind of witty sarcasm too

I'm not sure if the comic book shop's manager has the same sarcastic wit as the comic book guy since doesn't target the shop's customers (as far as I know).

Yes it is...

Speaking of which, since you are quite a comic-book fan I was wondering have you read yesterday's Dork Tower: Be It Resolved 2008 (second try) | Dork Tower

I thought you might like it

I liked it. I blame them for everything also..... (well no but still....)

Lol.

One of the funniest things to do is go to a comic book store the day new comics normally arrive on a week after a holiday. At least with the local store the first thing you hear when you enter the door is "new comics come tomarrow" which is usually followed by the person who entered leaving the store.

and without so much as a hi or goodbye.

We don't have many comic book stores here. I know of one and it is on some obscure little street in our capital. I'd wish there were more here, but then again our whole country has a population of something like ½ of New York City

Are people in those stores actually like the Comic Book Guy in Simpsons? He's prolly my favourite character of the show

I have never seen the show (no TV) but I can tell you that shop owners and the people that go there almost all have some sort of dyfunctional social talent.

Nerds, tweeps, punks, air heads and so on. I feel i can say this since I used to hang out at comic shops every day (local ones) and every friday (non-local).

We have our own language and dialet that confounds any that are not a part of the convent. Its much like gamers really.

The shop owners I have been friends with generally are not sharp witted and very poor with money (thus why no longer open). One owner was down right cruel if you annoyed him. Since he was the only store within 2 hours drive (early 90's) he knew he could get away with it.

Well, Happy New Year Hive!

(It has been 2009 out here for almost an hour already )

 

[megamania]

nothing much. Just listening to the Art Bell's yearly prediction show (which just started).

I have not yet decided still if Art Bell is good for paranormal acceptance or not. meaning.... is he a quack or not.

I've only heard his show maby three times in the past 8 years and they always seem a bit farfetched even though I believe in most of what he has to say or the subject matter.
