Many thanks for the birthday wishes,HB! 8-)Today(Tuesday)is the first chance I had to get back to the board in several days(my birthday falling on Labor Day Weekend this year kept me busier with family activity...) So,until Dr. Demonicus takes charge of the ''PACIFIC RIM'' kaiju-MAKE MINE MARVEL! Ha! Cfb, you're gettin' an exalt not only for making a such a quick response (in spite of your traditional Black Bolt level of taciternity- ;D), but also for tossing in that somewhat-obscure, post-Byrne, Avengers West Coast reference-! (Lordy. . . Dr Demonicus-- what an inane villain-character. A radioactive spill eats his face, and gives him horrible skin cancer. . . and makes him grow horns- That's stupid even by Marvel's suspension-o'-disbelief standards-! And. . . the man has NO SUPERPOWERS-! He's simply a mad scientist w/ a powerful (but highly specialized) artifact. Certainly not a well-thought-out, high-concept villain like Master Pandemonium. Oh. . . wait. . . ) HB

And see? They're just a-pourin' in, now-!
Birthday greetings to BOTH Badgermaniac(which Badger would you be maniacal about, exactly? The 80's/90's comic book, or perhaps the Univ. of Wisconsin's mascot? Both are noble choices, of course), and drew (Ha! Drew, we know you're still alive, 'cause you pop up about once a month or so!).
Summer's over, lads-- enough of this "celebration" fol-de-rol. . . time to get back to the grind-!

Happy Birthday to our dear friend the one and only pym! Have fun celebrating and may your day be filled with cake and comics! And since it's also Halloween, here's a scene of a Halloween party--a panel that pym has mentioned in a post or two:

Oh golly, and so many Birthdays I missed! A heartfelt, belated thanks for the well-wishes, and let me offer some birthday remembrances right back to pym, my pal BobC, uh-- Stan, and- wow! Bong! What the heck-?? Is there actually anyone else ON this board-- or is everyone just really YOU with yet another pseudonym?!? Is anyone else real? Am. . . am I real??? Or. . . or could I just be a Timberland Boots ad-bot??
(I think I'm real. . .)
How're these birthdays treating you guys, eh? Sheesh, Bong, do ALL of your identities get separate gifts?
;D ;D ;D Ha-- okay, okay-- I'll let it go. .
HB-- on a roll

HB-- on a roll But seriously, folks... at times it seems than these days no more than 6 people or so regularly chime in here. Nice to see Brand New Avenger Darci pop in, though, eh? And reviving an old thread, at that-! Sad to say though, Bong, that I think the heyday of our beloved pastime (at least in a form that we easily recognize and have a deep connection to) has passed-by for many of us folks here. I'm glad that we have Bobc & Marvel Boy & SpiderWasp & a few others keeping up with the current Avengers titles a bit and giving us the on-going low-down-- but for me, and I suspect for several in our rough age bracket, what we think of on this board as "The Avengers" had a finite existence that has drawn to a close. What continues on in its place seems distant and. . . I don't know. . . lacking legitimacy? But I recognize that that's a terribly condescending and snobbish-sounding statement, so please don't anyone get too offended by it. Ultimately, I think the Bendis-ization of the MU took a terrible toll on our board here, as well. It became hard to talk about anything new, because most of the opinions (including mine) were relentlessly negative, and one gets tired of just kvetching and complaining non-stop. And the few folks here who were honestly enjoying that era tended to get clobbered or at the very least, made to feel unwelcome or unappreciated. The final major price jump was a pretty darned big factor for me personally, as well. So, w/out a body of new comics that most folks here would be reading, we do tend to run out of timely topics to discuss and opinions to share. But perhaps it would be fun to jump back and continue discussion on older comics once again? I totally miss Owen Erasmus' delightful Guide. And the Kurmudgeon Korner I started got off to a very nice start-- and then I simply didn't persevere. Maybe time for blasts from the past to get opinions rolling again? Hey, Darci-! You want to go ahead and tell us who your Five Favorite Avengers are? And then your Five Least Favorite? Oh! And which team do you think of as "your" team? Always good for a bit of ice-breaking discussion. HB
