I'm Deathly Allergic to General Discussion for the Week of 4/16/08

[paper]

What are you allergic to?

If you're not allergic to anything, what's the nerdiest thing about you? Gotta cover the bases somehow.

[valoharth]

Found out about two summers ago I'm allergic to cats; the weird thing is I grew up with a cat. I break out in hive, yes I just get one on my wrist but the bugger itches like the dickens.

[meccaed]

Cats, and that powder drink stuff, Emergen-C. Found out about that one the hard way.

[ruo21]

Allergic to eggs(the kinds you eat not the ones that turn into real life people), eating grass( I guess I was never a cow in a past life), and cooties.

[kahunablair]

I'm allergic to Limes. No other Citrus fruit. Just Limes.

No Coronas for Blair.

[casually-drowned]

Worse yet, no key lime pie! :(

[kahunablair]

Never had Key Lime Pie so I don't know what I'm missing.

I still cry everytime other people order Mojitos....

[casually-drowned]

Never had Key Lime Pie so I don't know what I'm missing.

I still cry everytime other people order Mojitos....

Key lime pie done right is something to behold. I am not talking about that green stuff- those pies are poseurs.

Mmmm...mojitos. I like them too, but I am willing to go on a mojito strike in the name of kahunablair.

[humphrey-lee]

Nothing, and I take comic books to the gym. I guess that's kind of dorky. I dunno.

[adeepercut2k]

Horribly allergic to cats, mildly allergic to dogs.



Dogs FTW!

[cammyknoxville]

Dust mites, but not deathly allergic.

[gungadin]

Cats will kill me... Which is a shame because I like a lot about cats... I'd never own one, but I like them...

[luthor]

I am allergic to nearly everything. I should be the boy in a bubble.

[esophagus]

As a child I was mildly allergic to everything. The older I get the more of them just fade away. Right now the doctors tell me I'm allergic to dust, but I'm not sure that makes much sense. Doesn't everyone sneeze in a disgustingly dirty room? I'll live.

[mikegraham6]

allergic to pollen, dust and cat dander. I love summer, but without meds im sneezing up a storm

[dave-accampo]

I'm allergic to nerds and nerdiness. Does that count?


a-a--achooo!

Guys, please! Stop being so nerdy! What do you think this is...a comic book podcast forum...?

Oh crap.

I found out I was allergic to shellfish when eating at a Joe's Crab Shack in college. The best part was running around the dorm floor with my quarter sized hives and seeing the looks of horror on people's faces.

[paper]

Hahahahaha. Gooooooood grief!

[labor_days]

Mildly allergic to certain shellfish as well. But I can control it if careful and take a couple of pills beforehand.

I post on message boards. Nothing is nerdier than that.

Should have added a little Skrull chin to make it more distinctly, Skrully.

[kahunablair]

Any better?

Why thank you, kind sir!

[casually-drowned]

That's pretty funny, Luthor.

BWAHAHAHA!

Hey, I'm the WATCHMEN of nerds...

[dave-accampo]

On a general discussion topic...are the email notifications down? The last couple of days, I haven't been getting email notifications from Rev3. In my profile, I can see that I have notifications turned on and I can see the threads listed that I've posted in.

Anyone else having this problem?

[conorkilpatrick]

I think it is down. I haven't gotten them either.

[casually-drowned]

On a funny note, a professor came to ask me some questions today at work. Even though there are 6+ computers in the lab, I typically use my laptop for anything that is personal, so naturally I was on the forums when this professor came in. She sat down and we were talking for a minute or two until I noticed a look on her face. I realized she caught sight of my computer screen, and right there was that ad that says something about hot girls playing video games that is at the top of the forum pages sometimes. Whoops.

[oceanblue]

I am not allergic to anything. However, I knit, cross-stitch, love doing the laundry and cooking...I am kind of an old person on the inside.

[valoharth]

Nerdiest thing about me, well I have a two part answer to that:

1) My taste in music, I pretty much love everything.

2) I'm a Wine nerd. I stumbled upon it a couple years back when I found myself in Yakima Valley, Washington bored out of my mind waiting to see Warped tour in the Gorge. I heard about the wineries there so I decided "What the heck". Well I plan my trips to Washington so that I can go wine tasting now.

[itsbecca]

I don't know of any allergies. But something in certain pizza's makes me sick as a dog. I think I've narrowed it down to something in the sauce. Ass on that and I completely eat it anyway.

I cannot even begin on the nerd question. I am a pretty much the most ridiculous person on earth. I'm flighty, accident prone (seriously. Stairs scare the hell out of me and I imagine me falling to my death the entire time I'm descending them), I love the hell out of books and libraries make me gleeful inside, I am literally nervous riding the subway because of potential attacks from otherworldly video game monsters. I am not being silly or exaggerating at all.

[horatio616]

Saw this on MSN today:

Superheroes vs. terrorists:

http://www.newsweek.com/id/132147?GT1=43002

[iSteve]

I'm not allergic to anything. But I did visit a dietitian yesterday and she has recommended several fairly radical alterations to my diet. No more wheat (bread, etc.), dairy, and nightshade vegetables (tomatoes). More fruit, rice, and protein.

[kahunablair]

I don't know of any allergies. But something in certain pizza's makes me sick as a dog. I think I've narrowed it down to something in the sauce. Ass on that and I completely eat it anyway.

I have a friend that has the exact same problem. Which stinks because she lives right next door to the best pizza place in the area.

[superfriend82]

Do want to know something adout me I don't like pizza all that much.

[esophagus]

"Oh, you thought you were going to get credit for that English Exam you're writing? Sorry, no. You have to write the course to get that."

I now have to finish the entire course work in as little time as possible, a month tops. I'm fucked.

Getting the assignments I now have to do I see why 3/4 of the class opted out of the exam. The exam gets you no credit, and is fucking impossible. Lets write an essay debating the semantics of word choice! Good times! I want to die. My college acceptance lies on this.

Edit: And this means a leave of absence after school today. I'll try and pop in as I finish things, but don't expect me around too much.

[six-gun]

I'm back

[iSteve]

I'm back

How did the college tour go, Six Gun?

[kwok_talk]

I'm back

welcome back. did you find a college you liked?

[six-gun]

How did the college tour go, Six Gun?
welcome back. did you find a college you liked?


Fantastic. Thanks for asking. Of the colleges we toured. Samford (http://www.samford.edu/) appealed to me the most.

[labor_days]

On campus living, Six?

I was born in Birmingham actually, but have no recollections of it since we moved shortly after. Is it a happening place? (I'm assuming no.)

[itsbecca]

Six finds peace in dirt roads, I'd venture a guess that "happening" is not a requisite.


;)

[six-gun]

On campus living, Six?

Yes, the Men's freshmen dorms are suite-style which is a priority and once you're a sophomore you can move into apartment-style dorms w/ a kitchen which is awesome (you can also bring whatever into the dorms. The freshman giving us a tour said that most of the guys bring their own TVs, 360s, fridges, etc and that theft isn't a problem)

They also have a 2:1 Girl:Guy ratio and despite being a Baptist school actually have frats and dorm policies that would make the Southern Baptist Convention lose it.

I was born in Birmingham actually, but have no recollections of it since we moved shortly after. Is it a happening place? (I'm assuming no.)

Well, the neighborhood Samford is in is pretty posh and it's only a few minutes away from this enormous mall (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Summit_(Birmingham)) so there is stuff to do.

Sounds like a sweet deal. Go nut's little six, go nuts!

Well I'm not decided, but it's in my top two. :D

[labor_days]

Medicine?

[six-gun]

most likely

[labor_days]

Smarty pants. ;)

[valoharth]

This one goes out to all the Batman (http://www.myextralife.com/archive.php?date=2008-04-04)fans!

[rokov]

I'm allergic to nuts, particularly hazelnuts.

[paper]

Off to New York for the convention. Not sure if I'll have internet access, so I'll see you all on Monday. Hopefully I'll bump into the guys and the rest of the iFanbase throughout the weekend as I hound for some sketches. I'll try and take plenty of pictures and report back next week.

Oh, and the new FT is gonna have to go up when I get back because I can't bring my laptop. But I've got some fun episodes coming up. So stay tuned.

[kwok_talk]

Woke up to an earthquake. Everything's ok. I suspect it was due to the fanboys running to the con.

I would never vote for Cthulhu. He's condescending and elitist. Last week he had the nerve to say that in difficult times people cling to things like the Right Hand of Doom and benevolence.

[neb]

Woke up to an earthquake. Everything's ok. I suspect it was due to the fanboys running to the con.

Ha! Nice. Yeah, the quake hit in the STL at about 4:30 this morning with another aftershock hitting around 10:15. It's a little bit weird. And it remains awesome until death and utter destruction occur.

I'm off to visit some friends in Illinois this eve, but I hope all have safe travels and good times if you're visiting the con.

[kahunablair]

Can you hear that? That's the sound of a pin dropping in the empty iFanboy forums!

[luthor]

I'm still here...but it's pretty creepy.

[jon_samuelson]

Man, I hate it when I decide to stay late and run an experiment on Fridays. Worst idea ever.

[labor_days]

Slow day on all my forums. Nice weather + weekend= empty forums.

[superfriend82]

Slow day on all my forums. Nice weather + weekend= empty forums.

It's cold and cloudy here.

[six-gun]

I'm trying to find something new to say about Hamlet.

Also, I'm trying to win a tug of war match with the sun.

[cammyknoxville]

I'm going to play dodgeball in a few hours, but I didn't go to the gym this week :(

I'm going to be incredibly sore tomorrow.

sounds cool, have fun man

[valoharth]

Not only are the Forums silent but just in general everything even the mine site that I work at is eerily quite. I've seen movies that start out this way, wait what was that? What a weird sound let me go investigate.... ahhhhahhahaha!

[esophagus]

Fuck me. Are there really people who enjoy discussing the bullshit semantics of poetry? I certainly don't.

See you... Whenever. I'm guessing it could be as much as a few weeks.

Thanks for listening to this Public Service Announcement. Now back to your total lack of things to talk about.

[jon_samuelson]

Did Eso just go on walkabout?

[iSteve]

Did Eso just go on walkabout?

I think he did.

[six-gun]

I think he did.

that was just weird, I hope he's OK

[labor_days]

Now I will never know what the hell Eso was talking about before going on holiday for a few weeks.

[labor_days]

This is cool...

http://i31.tinypic.com/30rrzfc.jpg

Though I am not exactly sure if that is Donna Troy or Huntress to the left of Supergirl.

edit: No wait, it's Donna.

[jon_samuelson]

That's what I'd say too, the Grecian style hair is a tip.

[luthor]

That's some spectacular cheese cake art.

[superfriend82]

I am not to sure who everyone. Is i know the frist two to the left and i know theres supergirl and poison ivy.But who are the others? I think one of thems donna tory.

[labor_days]

Um, they're all pretty recognizable. But I hope this helps...

http://i29.tinypic.com/162c0j.jpg

Left to Right: Catwoman, Batgirl, Zatanna, Black Canary, Powergirl, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Donna Troy, Vixen, Poison Ivy

[superfriend82]

Um, they're all pretty recognizable. But I hope this helps...

http://i29.tinypic.com/162c0j.jpg

Left to Right: Catwoman, Batgirl, Zatanna, Black Canary, Powergirl, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Donna Troy, Vixen, Poison Ivy

Vixen really! I think wonder girl should be in there.

[labor_days]

Donna Troy was Wonder Girl. The definitive Wonder Girl many would say.

[luthor]

Donna Troy was Wonder Girl. The definitive Wonder Girl many would say.

By many, I assume you mean most.

[superfriend82]

I agree that Danno is the best WG but i think Cass is't that bad.I don't get why most you guys don't like Cass WG.I mean it's not like Batgirl or Robin where their an assassin or a crazy killer.Maybe it's just because that i came to know WG it was Cass .

[esophagus]

Thought I would check in while at work, and see what I was missing. Noticed some confusion as to where I am, and what I'm doing. Thought I'd summed it up with this:"Oh, you thought you were going to get credit for that English Exam you're writing? Sorry, no. You have to write the course to get that."

I now have to finish the entire course work in as little time as possible, a month tops. I'm fucked.

Edit: And this means a leave of absence after school today. I'll try and pop in as I finish things, but don't expect me around too much.Blech.

Anyways, surprised to see no Huntress on that picture. Love it, anyways.

[six-gun]

This is cool...

What is that? Original art?

[itsbecca]

What is that? Original art?

Poster they were handing out at the DC booth this weekend.

[paper]

Aaaand, I'm back.

[labor_days]

I'm just going to come right out and say it; Booster Gold is the best superhero comic book being published right now.

[mikegraham6]

I'm just going to come right out and say it; Booster Gold is the best superhero comic book being published right now.
well that was pretty random...
i will say it's pretty up there, im going to miss it once John's leaves

[labor_days]

Yeah, somewhat random. Catching up on podcast (been really busy lately) and someone was talking about the most recent Booster Gold issue. As I was listening, couldn't help but think Booster Gold gets everything right about the genre and does so in a very clever way.

Plus, Booster Gold is funny. Genuinely funny.

[valoharth]

I didn't know who Booster Gold was until I saw the Justice League Unlimited that revolved around him. That one was probably the funniest and best show in the entire series, he saved the world and no one knew it. Kind of like what Johns is doing with him now.

[labor_days]

Oh man. The news of an upcoming Power Girl series drawn by Amanda Conner has made my day.

edit: Wha?! A new Supergirl series too! Maybe she'll be from Earth-2...yes.

[horatio616]

Headband Supergirl? Awesome!

It's been dead in here for the last couple of weeks. Warm weather, I guess.

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a178/taintedlunch/tumbleweed.jpg

[gungadin]

I feel like I'm waiting for this class to go somewhere... I'm sick of my professor dancing around this topic like nothings happening... And he needs to stop talking in variables... We're just moving in circles...

Stupid political science...

[labor_days]

Headband Supergirl? Awesome!
I know, rite?

The new Supergirl series is aimed at young girls in the Johnnie DC line. And they are bringing back her super-cat, Streaky*.


*Appearing in Final Crisis too!

Geez, I grew up with this stuff, and I do have a certain affection for it, but is this really the direction DC needs to be going in? It seemed like the iFanboys were going to get into this discussion in the video podcast (Jost seemed particularly keen on it), and I wonder why more people aren't talking about it.

[kahunablair]

What direction, Horatio? You mean with the Kid's lines?

[fred]

If you're writing funny, witty tweets and you wonder why I'm not responding ... well it's because Twitter blows and it's broken again. So I'm seeing very few of the things that I actually should be.

You're on my shit list Twitter. You've been warned.

Um. It's a kid's book for young girls ala Teen Titians Go!, Super-Friends, 31st Century Legion, etc.

Smart move marketing recognizable characters in kid friendly books to young readers.

I added a few people this weekend, and I haven't seen a single thing they posted the entire time. Craziness!

[labor_days]

Should say that the Johnnie DC line of books are actually a lot of fun considering the audience they are written for. I am enjoying Teen Titans Go! more than any other Titans book in the mainstream DCU right now.

Yes, I buy/bought 31st Century Legion too. But the main Legion book is EXCELLENT with Jim Shooter writing it. So the Johnnie DC version of Legion is merely an indulgence at this point. Mostly for the sweet Superboy action, natch.

[horatio616]

What direction, Horatio? You mean with the Kid's lines?

All the Silver Age nostalgia. Bringing back concepts and characters from that era. I'm seeing a lot of stuff from the 70s and early 80s that was discarded and with good reason.

Why not do something new?

[fred]

I added a few people this weekend, and I haven't seen a single thing they posted the entire time. Craziness!

There's a message up about a problem that they're having, but what it comes down to (for me) is that they suck. THEY ALWAYS HAVE PROBLEMS.

[labor_days]

The Silver Age stuff is mostly in All Star Superman. Doesn't show up in the main DCU too much. Unless you don't like Power Girl.

Nothing wrong with taking the most iconic and non-slutty Supergirl and building a line of books for young girls out of it.

Gotcha!

I think it's DCs way of acknowledging the past. Kind of like showing that they're proud of their history.

If a company came along with the same product and a more stable infrastructure I think I'd hop over pretty quickly.

[fred]

I'd be right there with you.

[kahunablair]

Let's make our own! We'll call it Fredder or Blairer.

"Dude, I totally Blair'd about this last night! I even put up a BlairPic!"

[fred]

ok. I'll start work right away ... or else I'll do something else. ;)

Oh I agree. I dig Headband Supergirl and her Whitesnake groupie hair. Streaky... not so much.

[luthor]

I've been Blair'd twice. I still can't walk straight.

[kahunablair]

One time, I was Blair'd so much I lost my memory. I still don't remember anything about my life from 12 to 14 years old.

Another time I had something slipped in my drink and I woke up in a small port town in Mexico 6 days later. My wallet was gone, my right foot was missing a toe, I a bite mark on my nipple, and there was a note shoved in my belly button that read, "You've just been Blair'd!"

[kwok_talk]

Paper's the new intern? (as referred to in the Spirit article just posted on iFanboy's proper site)

[paper]

Sounds like a red herring to me.

[kahunablair]

Yeah, Kwok. Don't trust the iFanboys. They're squirrelly looking!

[paper]

Didn't go nearly as crazy on sketches this time around, but check out my blog (http://fuzzytypewriter.wordpress.com/2008/04/21/escape-from-new-york/) to see the Mouse Guard sketch I got from David Petersen. Good stuff.

[horatio616]

Paper's the 12th Cylon.

[labor_days]

Preordering my Death of the New Gods HC right...now (http://www.dcbservice.com/category.aspx?id=1).

[fred]

When you work with Fred, you find comments like this (below) buried in the code.

//end Fred changes from April 22 here//
//whoooooohooooo//
//you ever see that sketch from Kids in the Hall
//where the guys who eat nothing but ketchup
//and macaroni and cheese win a free lifetime supply
//of ketchup, macaroni and cheese, and tapeworm
//food? It's quite amusing.

[esophagus]

There wouldn't happen to be anyone here willing to buy 60 books, 70 trades/GNs, and 80 movies/tv seasons is there? I cleaned out my closet, and realized I own way too much crap. Crap I won't be taking with me when I buy. Blech. Now I just have to find a way to sell this stuff.

[kahunablair]

I will give you the entire contents of my wallet for your entire Pile o' Crap, Eso.

could you take a picture so we could see what all you have. I'd be willing to buy some stuff defnately!

[esophagus]

A bit of good news: I've been given an extension, and don't have to finish the English as quickly as I thought. I now have the whole semester. So, that break has been cut short.

I've read so much Marx and GK Chesterton over the past few weeks that my eyes are bleeding. I just want this stupid project to be over.

[itsbecca]

I'd buy crap, especially to rebuild my break up collection. How much you looking to unload the trades for? Shipping isn't to bad from ya'll is it?

[esophagus]

No, shipping isn't too bad. To be honest, I don't know what I'm looking to sell things for. Thats why I didn't do this weeks ago. Still trying to figure out what seems fair.

And that just reminds me how awesome Marvel 1602 was. I usually balk at those kind of stories (OH AND LOOK WHAT WE MADE THIS GUY INTO! WE'RE SO CLEVER!) and am not a big gaiman fan. I mean. whoa. What? Who said that?

[paper]

See how much they're worth used on Amazon. Drop a buck or two.

Discount for buying multiple books.

Just a suggestion.

[luthor]

I'd really like Essex County(since I can't find it IN ESSEX COUNTY).

[esophagus]

I'd really like Essex County(since I can't find it IN ESSEX COUNTY).Not to kill my own business, but I know there's a used copy on Amazon.ca for $3.

[esophagus]

Oh, and those are just the books I was going to sell in a lump. I have a few books up on Amazon you guys can add to your lists if interested:

DC Comics Encyclopedia
Marvel Comics Encyclopedia
Invincible Ultimate Collection Volume 1
Invincible Ultimate Collection Volume 2
The Marvel Vault: A Museum-In-A-Book with Rare Collectibles from the World of Marvel

Congrats, Eso. That's a lot of discussing.

[esophagus]

Congrats, Eso. That's a lot of discussing.If I spammed porn a little bit less, it would probably be a lot lower. Discussion is not my thing. Making the adult entertainment industry a lucrative business is.
