If you’re not familiar with LoLo, he’s probably one of the best scambusters there is. His posts exposing the fake girl profiles on MySpace or the Truth about the Adult Dating Websites should be required reading for idiots that really think some 21 year old blonde hottie wants them (and their credit card) bad…. (*snicker*)
Comic Books to Soldiers in Iraq - “We have a ton of overstock back issues that will never sell in our store. Our customers don’t generally buy back issues. They buy the trades.Regardless of your stance on the War or your politics in Washington, there are Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, and Sailors stationed overseas that are just like you and me. They are our friends, brothers, sisters, moms and dads, and they should have comics.”
I couldn’t agree more. It’s little gestures like these that show the men and women in our military that we love ‘em and appreciate all they do. The idea was cooked up by A Comic Shop’s owner Jason Blanchard who served our country honorably for 6 years. He hopes other comic shops will follow suit and we all spread the word. Way to go, Jason!

I would assume you’ve heard the tired sales pitches like “Would you let a friend build your house?” or “Would you hire your nephew to fix your electric wiring?”…

If a person walked into their office looking disheveled and seeking a job, they would not hire them… IRONICALLY they fail to realize that their website has the same “turn-off” effect as that.

It appears I offended a few people with a post a few months ago titled “America, FUCK YEAH!”
Not sure why it would offend anyone. Perhaps they missed Trey and Matt’s classic “Team America“. Funniest movie with puppets… ever.
So I’m running it again… and this time I brought backup.
