Changing my avatar was not done lightly. But I feel today's Superbowl ad just hit the intersection of my interests and captured my screen name too perfectly. This is what makes Marvel so awesome. The characters are so likable.

Hmmm...I blame Skrulls in my computer. Green bunny rabbits shouldn't cast aspersions at Skrulls, they might get mistaken for one and hypnotized into thinking they are a cow then turned in to hamburger....introducing the new McJaxxon burger....for a limited time only...Lovin' It! -M Byrnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnne!!!!!

The only SB commercial we saw during the brief period we had the game on before settling in to watch a movie instead.

I have some kind of cold/respiratory irritation thing. It is a virus of some sort because my hair stylist told me she has it and her boss has it. I cannot take it. Just when I think I have kicked it, I walk into the comic store and get blasted with no less than 15 sneezes in a row. I was so embarrassed. I almost ran to my car. But my eyes were watering so badly that I could not see in front of me. Maybe the incident in the comic store was an allergic reaction? After all some of those guys spend an awful lot of time in basements where dust, mold, & mildew accumulate.

It happens in the car, at my dad's, outside my house, inside my house, around the dogs, around no dogs, cats, no cats, etc.

Some of those guys make me want to sneeze (or run), allergies or not.

My LCS caters more to gamers than comic book buyers. More than half their available space is a huge gaming room. And sometimes (not ALLLLL the time, and really only on a rare occasion), some of the gamers will be standing up by the counter, talking to the employee, and it can be a bit stinky. On another note: That is a bit of a pet peeve of mine. Gamers, go sit your butt down and play your game. Don't crowd the counter/register area where people need to go to give their money to the store to pay for things. And if you're going to crowd the counter/register area (which, you will anyway), please try not to smell like stinky man meat. It's gross.

The comic store I used to go to (long since closed) was exactly like this. The guys who ran it were gamers and just ran the store as a way to subsidize their gaming. When they got a big game going, the place was really rank.
The store I've been going to for the past several years is much better, professionally run, and not a second home to people who don't shower in their other home.

I really like my local LCS. The owner is great. But when I want to pay for my books, it can be kind of intimidating and annoying to have to work my way through a group of people just to give a store my money. And a couple of weeks back, I was standing up there paying for my books, and some young adults behind us ended up throwing a water bottle and it just BARELY missed my kid's head. I whipped around, and got a chorus of "sorry"s. But, STILL. Grrrrr.

The owner was right there when it happened, and he took care of it, thank god, but heads would have rolled if my kid got hit with that water bottle.

My Maryland driver's license about to expire. Seemed a good opportunity to finally transfer to a Hawaii license. Though it requires a written test. While taking a practice test, I noted the question which says your registration must be updated within a month if you move, and it occurred to me I had moved 9 months ago and probably not updated it. I read online I could update easily as long as my registration was valid. Then it occurred to me I moved here over a year ago, and if they had my old address I may not have gotten a renewal reminder. Went out to the car. Sure enough. Registration expired 4 days ago. But it's okay. Registration is easy as long as my safety inspection is up to date. Also expired 4 days ago. I think tomorrow will be a long day. You should've got your rich author friend to bankroll your private investigatory business so you could borrow his ferrari constantly. It's the Hawian way...

What do y'all do with breakfast pork chop cuts? Are they really good paired with breakfast foods? Do you treat them like standard bone in chops? I bought some this weekend and realized I have never bought this cut of pork. Can you give me some suggestions my friends?
