I thought that seeing as I have resolved to spend more time here, I should do the right thing and politely re insert myself into your conciousness.
Hello all - I'm Mikey and I am catching up on 7 months of paper based thrills and several years of online shenanigans.Anything happen while I was out?
M.
Hello!
I'm pretty new here so I have no idea, but thanks for the introduction; always nice to kow who you're speaking to.
-Bouwel-
Yo Mikey! You've missed some good times and some spammy times.
You've missed Django Zoon, speed dating, and a strange entity might ask you about the wisdom of Runescape money and Nike Dunk.
Hello Mikey, and thanks for saying hi to me. I'm planning on doing a bit more lurking myself before posting. No idea what you missed here but I bet a Dredd movie does not go into 'production' in 09.
Nice to have you back Mikey. Hope you've been rigorously de-wormed and had a thorough internal examination before your return!
You've missed lots, Buttonman is now our resident loon who's endevours have to be seen to be believed. There are one or two other nutcases too, I'm sure you'll soon pick those out!
Also we now have a number of Puerto-Rican street gangs round here and you're gonna have to join up with one of them if you want to survive.
Aw crap! Not again! Damn Puerto-Rican street gangs clogging up messageboards....
Hi Mikey, I'm not new but seem to have gone back into lurking so can I hang on your coat tails and say HELLO to everyone again? I'm back baby.
You have to like Spam as theres lots of it here.I mean the internet type NOT the foul substance in cans.
Lotsa DVDz.
I told da gangz ta stop da violenz an drivebyez.
General ground rules:
1). We are all very bad people. Every word we type is a dagger through the heart of a nerve centre droid. We made Gordon Rennie cry. We made him so upset that he was forced (FORCED) to write a strip mocking comic fans for discussing things about comic on a comic message board.
2). For the sake of you sanity, I suggest you assume that everything Thryllseekyr says is part of an elaborate parody.
3). Bring me sandwiches.
How do.
Hello again, Mikey! I wish you chocolate cake in everything you do!

Looks like the reintegration process is going smoothly. LMK which Puerto Rican gang you join...if it looks tough eneough, I'll probably try and join myself.

Yo Mikey where you been?
Hi Mikey- long time no see!
Come to our convention!
Sorry Mikey- all the cool kids left while you were gone.

I've just met a girl called Maria!
Oy Timson back to work.
Hi - I'm a relative newbie, but this is a cool place to be! An oasis of sanity and gentlemanly behavior compared to virtually every other comic related forum I've found.

Peterwolf will happily supply semi-racist caricatures for any topic that mentions people of colour. Full minstrel make-up available on request. Oh and don't mention the
conspiracy to him...sssshhh - you know the one!

That's not Dredd's wife you've got there, is it?

Puerto Rican street gangs? Where? I'll put a cap in their asses or, failing that, write a letter to the Daily Mail complaining about lackadaisical border controls on beautiful British forums. For shizzle etc.

No his cleaner, which in its self was alarming racist
Ta for the hellos all - sounds like everything is as I left it.
Speaking of gang allegiance; I'm with the Smokin' Tubes...don't mess with us, because some of us are old enough to smoke!

But just how funny was Gordons Whatever happened to? Brilliant stuff.
There's nothing racist about having an Italian cleaner, by the way.

only when her entire dialogue consists of variations of
"I cooka you da nice pasta Judge Dredd"

Are the Harlem Heroes racist stereotypes ?
Is Bill Savage a white racist stereotype ?
Is Walter the robot who is stupid ,servile ,with a speech impediment somehow suggesting that anyone with a speech impediment is the same as that ?
Who cares ?.There are more important matters to think about.
Sometimes political correctness is just stupid because it doesnt know when to stop.
Sometimes an Italian cleaner is just an Italian cleaner. With a stereotypical accent.
-Bouwel-
Stereotypical but NOT racist.
There is a difference.
Whoa whoa whoa!

Next thing will be there's no such thing as glabal warming...

Hear hear! I was attempting a humorous observation on the fact that a major supporting character that was around for
years was always written so one dimensionally and criminally underused IMHO. The only storyline of note Maria ever had was when she inadvertently missed out on the Block War antidote and continued to fight for Mario Lanza
(sic) Block with her cooking laser.
I must dig out that "whatever happened to" story - I recall that made up for a lot of it! (more of those please - there's a hundred and one cool supporting characters that we've never seen again!)
