Goings on
It was my nephew's birthday yesterday. His wife and kids have been out of town for 3 weeks and everyone forgot to wish him well, so we took him to a gormet burger place and to the comic book store so he could pick something out for himself. He's 27 now but I've been buying him comic books since he was 8 and it's hard to break the habit. The burgers were good..and they better be for $13 bucks each.. Fries and drinks are extra. I had a vegetarian burger on a kaiser roll with cheddar, mangos, spinach and roasted red pepper. They are also the only place I know that can make good sweet potato fries.
Oh yeah as a side note, comic book geeks are more breast obsessed than ordinary geeks... damn near every action figure, statue and comic book cover in the store portrayed giant boobs barely restrained by a skimpy costume. Hell, these dudes in the comic book store loved boobs so much that many of them had grown their own.
I had to kick in the door to my garage yesterday. The doorknob mechanism broke and even when I removed the parts the latch wouldn't release. I hardly had to put any force into my kick and a solid core door split into about 3 pieces. It took a whole bottle of elmers and 5 C clamps to put it back together. I don't know what that says about home security except for the fact that doors are pretty much a social barrier more than anything.
The doorbell rang yesterday and I was like "holy shit what now?" I fucking hate surprise visitors. In fact I hate damn near everybody that disturbs me at home. It turned out to be the mail man..he handed me a trial size box of maxi-pads shrugged his shoulders and walked off.
Why in the fuck is the mailman going door to door handing out that shit? No doubt it's another brilliant marketing plan by some idiot with a leaky mangina.

I'm feeling a bit bitchy today. Hopefully my postman will bring me some maxipads.

Its true...Comic Books have bodacious TaTa babes...no doubt. Maybe that is why they call them Graphic Novels instead of Comic Books. Talk about being PC.
I could just see you accepting this box maxi-pads. ROTFLMAO!
I am so jealous that you got to kick a door in, even if it was a piece of crap door.
I imagine your mail-man had the whole shrugging thing perfected by shifts end.
Poor bastard.
ROFL.
"Hell, these dudes in the comic book store loved boobs so much that many of them had grown their own."
Oh what a visual!! It reminds me of "comic book guy" on the Simpsons. LOL
Hammer, what's up with the vegi burger? I thought you were the king of burgers made out of REAL meat! Hmm..... that mail delivery really was for you. ;-)
Dick: hahaha! Maybe someone at kotex is trying to tell me something.
Flyinfox: Graphic novel...oh I get it now..I never thought of it like that.
Powder girl: I never imagined tey could be that shitty. I need to got some industrial strength doors to replace them.
MTB yep I bet they fondle their manboobs in the mirror while squinting ;) Yeah been a vegetarian all my life but I cook a shit load of meat dishes.
That's almost as good as buying them for the wife, from a male cashier.
Almost.
veggie burgers....mmmm.
wonder what they put in them to make them taste like meat.
Hahaha, I love your comment about the counter help growing their own!
Yeah, mailman never brings me free packages...usually just pink envelopes and offers to get my windows replace...
I wonder how many kicks it would take to knock down my metal doors. Being that DD and I are home alone that kinda weirds me out to know how easy it is to get through a door. Hmmmmm....
He couldn't leave them in the mailbox?
You're absolutely correct! Doors are just a social barrier. I've been asked, many times, why our doors don't have deadbolts. If somebody wants to get into your house, the only thing a deadbolt will do is cause more frame damage when the intruders kick in the door.
curmugdeon: almopst as good as a price check.
dr alistair: Whatever it is they aren't sucessful.
skinnysister: yeah I get those too.
H20: It's not the strength of the door it's the flimsy wooden frame it's set into. One good kick and the door frame splinters into matchsticks...I guess the alternative would to buy a reinforced metal door frame.
Jeannie: we have those community boxes that are too small for most packages.
tshsmom: exactly! If it's not attached to a stud it won't hold up against anything.
I never realized that comic book girls are so breasty, until you just pointed it out. You're right!
My husband received a pack of maxi-pads in the mail a while back. What's the deal?
And LOL @ Dick! Best laugh of the day right there!
i think i am going to request a sample and send them to my stepson
Big boobs are good.
$13.00 bucks for a hamburger is not good! I feel ripped off paying Wendy's $4.00 for a single, fries and a coke.
Terri: I almost can't take my kids into the comic store without them asking questions about boobers.
snowmanpoop: Be sure to tell him sticky side goes up.
Hermit: Damn straight...however the buffalo looked pretty good.
I never could understand the fascination with comic books. I stopped reading them after Betty and Veronica were no longer cool.
After seeing the picture at the top of this post I'm feeling a sudden urge to begin collecting comic books, er... I mean "graphic novels".
doors, clothes, fences....social barriers that function by consensus to protect us from insult.
and yeah, whoever decided that veggie burgers were a healthy alternative to meat need to read the spec sheet on flavourings that are used to make grey soy paste taste meaty.
Scarlet: we know what the fascination is now ;)
woodman: hehe yeah I used to think wonderwoman was well endowed.
dr allistair: well said. and yeah I can't pronounce most of those yummy ingredients so that must be bad.
I always loved comic book girls.
I don't remember them being quite that big. A trip to the comic book store is in order.
Usually my mailman brings me cigars. I feel somehow cheated now. I'll slink away.
Man, I should've been a comic book geek. I would've fit right in.
That happened to me several months ago. But it was my PO Box. I got a note stating that there was a package that was too big for my box. You bet it was. The pad looked like it was 6 foot long. How big do they think my box is? haha
Sample day is a huge pain in the arse sometimes.... 918 houses and those are the days I consider retiring!
$13 bucks for a burger??
Good thing they had sweet tater fries.. yum!
"He couldn't leave them in the mailbox?"
He just wanted to see the expression on Hammer's face.
Glad you could show your nephew a good time. I love comics as a kid, would rather spend all that money on guitars and cameras now, or I'd still be buying them.
All I know is, if I were a talented enough artist to draw my dream woman in a comic book, she'd have some bigguns.
