I echo my old pal woodside in terms of being too busy with too many things these days, but I'm glad to see the site flourishing and with lots of new posters

I've finally been landed the 664-pages long translation job I occasionally mentioned here and there in the past, so besides patients my free time is all about Japanese syncretism, globalized cutural trans-nationality and impact of the national cultural imagery at the moment Still keep an eye on things though

HB Tell me about it, sometimes I have to read sentences 2 or 3 times before understanding what they mean and translate them. Which is a pity, because the book is very interesting. Just hard to grasp the concepts.

Whoa-ho!! Doom and W were both logged in within the past 24 hours. Some weird karma happening between Cleveland and the islands...

Yup! Hey Doug! I thought I'd check in briefly, see how everyone's doing. Always nice to see the board still doing well and with fresh faces (Who seem pleasant AND informed, which is a tradition AA maintains better than most boards!) AND plenty of golden oldies. Sorry to see no phantoms wandering the nights these days though. I had no idea W had even left let alone come back at a similar time to me!

Hello?
HELLO?!

Lurking on a daily basis, my friend, and unfortunately just not in tune with what you guys are discussing -- although I do enjoy reading the conversations.
I've sworn off new books (been a little over a year now), and spend my time reading old stuff for Tana's and my Bronze Age Babies blog. We try to get three posts up each week, and so far haven't missed that goal. We have really had a blast looking at stories, music, movies and such from our childhoods.
So, still around, and I've been glad to see W and Doom getting active again. If and when I ever decide to start buying new books (and freedomfighter's thread about $4 comics pretty much seals the fate of that proposition) I'll feel more like contributing.
Carry on!
Doug

Good to see that you are still around Hopefully Stern's and Busiek's return to Marvel will pull you back towards new books

DOC BONG!-- Did you just pop up recently again on the "newest member" tag??
Good heavens, are you, like, re-launching yourself periodically to artificially inflate your value as a collectible? Manipulating us without any conscience whatsoever?? (Well, you are a supervillain, I suppose. Albeit a delightfully obscure one. . . )
Is this your ironic commentary on Marvel's disastrous manipulatory contrivances of the mid-80's to early 90's?
Ohhhh you're a fiend, Bong- a fiend. . .

HB I wish your speculations were true, belly... . The truth of the matter is, this is what happens when you have a bell for brain... . I should log out here and then. Since I don't, sometimes I am logged out unintentionally when I least expect it. And usually, when that happens, I have forgotten what was my password . But THIS time (obviously a slow learner...) I took steps to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Okay, okay-- Shiryu's not "missing" per se-- just been a couple of weeks, but this seemed like the appropriate spot for an off-topic-ish shout-out. . .
Shir! Did you get out there and vote last week? Participate in the Italian people's absolutely commendable demand for an accountable gov't? From the metroDC perspective, this was a tremendous breath of fresh air. . . !
In my youth, as an "arts" person, I was generally ambivalent about voting. My much-smarter wife quickly impressed upon me the fact that properly participating in a democracy is nothing less than a civic duty and responsibility. The darn "R" word, again. And since I'm sure Peter Parker never misses a date at the polls, I'm bound to do no less. . .

No, I didn't have a chance to go home to vote, and I don't trust voting from abroad as you never quite know if and how they will be used. I was just busy with work and other projects. To be honest, I don't think much will change in Italy after the latest vote. The opposition parties are too weak to hold power for any lenght of time, they have already started to argue with each other. But either way it will be interesting to see what happens!

No, that's her teammate, Spiderwoman. SO helpful. "Jennifer Jones?" No, that's "Duel in the Sun" w/ Gregory Peck. "Jennifer Johnson?" "Jessica James?" Hmm. It's as if there were a subliminal rejection to the fact of her very existence. . . HB

I'd echo that, Bong. HB had become a staple at the Bronze Age Babies blog as well! He's been MIA around those parts for several weeks.
By the way, you're in Chicago now??

I took the liberty of checking in with the Honorable HB Esq. He's extremely busy with holiday and numerous other real life endeavors and you know HB --he never does anything by halves, so his plate is pretty full. He promises he'll be back to being his loquacious online self once his spate of extracurricular actvities subsides a bit. He says "hi" to everyone!
