Was it something I said??

[NeverSayDieFan]

Went to the comics store today. I'm not friends with the owner but a couple weeks ago I got into a conversation with him and another customer. Turned out the owner was a 49'ers fan and the other guy was a Seahawks' fan. Here in CT. Go figure. So we talked football for awhile. Anyways, thought I'd drop by today and when I saw the owner I said LOUDLY with about (4) people in the store, Hey, how 'bout them Cardinals!! HUGE guy buying books looked up and the owner quickly said, I'm not responsible for anything my customers say. I heard the guy mutter back, "Every team wins once in awhile." I noticed he was wearing a Cowboys' hat! So, I got thrown out of the store. NO big deal! I can get my books elsewhere. BUT that moment in time?? PRICELESS!! GO CARDS!!

You got kicked out of the store for that? When the owner is a 49ers fan?

Sounds pretty lame to me.

OT:

My comic shop closed down.

I now get them online at www.impulsecreations.net. I like it okay so far.

 

[moklerman]

Wow. I wouldn't have guessed that there were so many comic book fans around here.

Wow. I wouldn't have guessed that there were so many comic book fans around here.

LOL

You mean the both of us?

(There are more, I just thought it was funny that "so many" in this thread is only 2 ).

In fairness, I think comic book geeks are at the top of the geek-heap.

Comic Book Geeks > Star Wars Geeks > Star Trek Geeks

At least, that's how I see it. Maybe that's self serving, but so be it.

Make that 3....lol

 

[NeverSayDieFan]

You guys are too FUNNY....

BOTH my brother & I have excellent vocabularies today because we read comics growing up. After all, they are written on a college-level. Also, I seem to have noticed Hollywood producing several successful BILLION-Dollar movies based on comic book characters. Uh, WHO exactly is spending all this $$ to see these movies?? Anyways, to each his own. GO CARDS!! ...AND SPIDER-MAN!! LOL

 

[Solar7]

Make that 3....lol

And four.

 

[Nitemare129]

Comic Book Geeks > Star Wars Geeks > Star Trek Geeks

So true! But I slip into the lower echelon too.....Comics, Star Wars, and Cards football!

Oh yeah......make it five!

 

[NeverSayDieFan]

Well, the (4) Musketeers sounds better than...

the (3) Stooges! LOL

 

[Mulli]

the (3) Stooges! LOL

How did they kick you out?

 

[NeverSayDieFan]

NOT WELCOME there anymore....

Same thing! Like I said, "No Biggie". Funny though. Thought I'd get "comments" about the Cowboys' fan, and everyone's talking comics! Oh, well. GO CARDS!!

We should all be "nerds" like Pariah. Has a hot wife, great looking family, in shape, and lives in a nice house.

Comic Book Geeks < Star Wars Geeks = Star Trek Geeks

ftfy No biggie, since I'm a bit of all three.

No surprises about getting kicked from a Comic store in Connecticut due to be a Cards fan. I take loads of crap from people here in Arizona whenever I wear my Cards gear in public.

It's one of the provisions of new amendments to the American's With Disabilities Act.

Making fun of a Cowboy's fan is the same as making fun of someone with Downs Syndrome now.

 

[SuperSpck]

And four.

+1

 

[TruColor]

I'm another one, although I'm not currently collecting...

(although, my entire collection has been up for sale on Atomic Avenue for a few months now)

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

ditto on the old school, though haven't collected in years.

brother-who-shall-remain-nameless sold our entire collection without my permission about 10 years ago. not sure i'll ever forgive him.

lol wtf?

Did you miss the *kidding* ?

For what it's worth, I have all of the above mentioned, and have never bought a comic book, weird huh?

 

[Pariah]

BTW all...I didn't take any offense to anything.

I'm a nerd. It's cool. I know a little Kung Fu, so I can handle myself.
