Free Comic Book Day - Saturday - May 1st - 2010

The classic dangling participle.

not everyone does that only 3%

Yeah, hahaha, that sounds like some of my friends who swear up and down they just never hook up, so then it's kind of a head-scratcher when you see them on grindr at 2am. Human nature being what it is, if the admitted number of people doing something really embarrassing is 3%, and FWIW this goes for ANYTHING not just this, then definitely times that number by at least ten and you'll be approaching reality. LOL

Well the majorty in the fandom dont have suits. You are really looking at less then 20%. Take that, and you have even less who will do anything like that in them. Some do do things in them that give everyone else a bad name no doubt. I try to keep those away from the local group here which number past 100 easy in Jacksonville.
Espically since I will be doing my best to get a con started here to replace Megaplex that left. Since I am fairly sure I can get 300+ attendance the first year and more so following since our picnic that was only a day event pulled 110 people. Most of us are G-PG13 people. I hate being grouped with the people who give everyone else a bad name XP

Hey, I'm not judging. Not sure why that'd get anybody a bad name anyway, you know, life's short, have fun. I mean, so, is this whole furry thing an unintentional entertainment trainwreck of epic proportions? Yeah, probably. But if that's your thing, then who the hell am I to judge.

But I'm a little new to this concept, so I want to get something straight. So there's this huge community of people that runs around dressed up in animal suits, right? But then they themselves turn around and crack on a subgroup within the larger group, because that subgroup doesn't have a problem screwing in their animal suits? I mean, really? Seems a bit judgmental from a bunch of people who are already walking around looking like giant bugs bunnies, doesn't it?

It's like, LISTEN UP...so MY weird fetish is A-OK, but yours, well, that's just over the line mister! LMAO! It's kind of funny how human nature can completely replicate itself within literally any given group of people...

STAY ON TARGET!!!!!

No really, It's going to be a great day.

[ChriswUfGator]

Speaking personally the FG version I think I like better than the original, LOL

[Sportmotor]

I want to suit and follow Loki around all day and find ways to make him uncomfrotable.

What is Free Comic Book Day?

Free Comic Book Day is a single day - the first Saturday in May each year - when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely FREE* to anyone who comes into their stores. *Check with your local shop for their participation and rules.

A few notes from Loki: Many of the local costuming groups are coming out. Saturday is going to be a GREAT opportunity for kids to meet their favorite superheroes. We've even got the local Ghostbusters guys coming to Universe of Superheroes. (Not that I'm favoring any store over the other!) Most locations serve food, drinks, etc. It's a blast. You won't wanna miss this years FCBD.

SPIDERMAN foiled a would-be thief as Jedi Knights blocked his escape route.
No, it's not a comic book plot but the scene which unravelled in a Australian book store on Saturday.

Store owner Michael Baulderstone, dressed as Spiderman, spotted the man trying to steal an X-Men book worth $160 (£97).

The 45-year-old called for back-up and the hapless thief was surrounded by superheroes within seconds.

Mr Baulderstone said: "We had about 40 people dressed up as their favourite superheroes to celebrate International Free Comic Day, so he didn't have much of a choice but to hand the comic back after a little bit of a scuffle.

I will never dis Spidey again!
