It's an important day in world jistory, as I was born on this very day, so long ago.
Other stuff happened too, my country was founded (well, sorta) on this day and a whole bunch of Presidents died on it too.
Fortunately, I'm not the President, so I figure I'm relatively safe.
Bought myself some crazy comic book artwork (pics to come) on saturday at Florida Supercon and had the voice of Invader Zim do my new phone message, bought a ton of goodies like MST3K bootlegs and now I'm looking for a car (as I refrained rom blowing all my dough).
Today I relax with a beer and a prime rib while watching fireworks.
Hopefully your 4th will be as cool and beer-filled!

Happy 4th to all my fellow Americans, and Happy Bastille Day to all Frenchmen. We forgive your cowardly nature.
Ordered my new Computer online today, so now it just the long wait. Might also get that War for Cybertron game. Feel like cracking some Decepticon heads open.
Also been checking out Doug Drexler's site. He's been putting the art featured in latest SotL up, sparing us having to buy the damn thing for just one or two good pics.

i had to babysit the minions yesterday (but i spent of that time in the car going from the GF's to dad's (for more chairs) and finally the GF's family for celebrations (and only have to watch the littlest as the other two too off running). saw fireworks in person for the first time in a long time and i saw a bunch of hot-headed black kids getting into a scuffle in traffic so our formation drove SOUTH to GFs, the long way. quite funny when i think about it but i was worried some fucker was gonna draw a gun (when your young, black and think your tough, you do that)...

I'd like to say thank you to all you patriotic Americans who went out to buy shit at the mall today, requiring other patriotic Americans to work on this national holiday.
It always baffles and annoys me that everything shuts down for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but not Independence Day or Labor Day (like it should).

Um, how old are you? Have you been changing your name every 60 years, signing yourself as your sole heir? Do you have a cavalry saber on your person at any given moment, forged in 560BC by John Quincy Adams, ie you? Let me guess, Shroud of Turin, that was you right? Some convoluted caper and a stag party prank gone wrong?

A Freudian slip now? About jizz and history, another clue to your reckless past? I get it, Lizzie Borden was one of your scorned lovers, who snapped in your wake, and then you had to return and fight her on the mansion roof during a thunderstorm? What do you say to yourself so you can sleep at night? Do you spill a drink on the floor for the legion of dead? Do you, you fuck?!

As long as you flew your...er..."flag"...proudly, it's the American Way!
nim, I'm no typist and that post came after a couple of beers. My apologies.
ate a big Prime Rib, drank a couple of guiness and one sam Adams (as a patriotic requirement) and watched half of the Gamera vs. Gigan on a bootleg MST3K I bought at the show.
Also got an amazing Hellboy piece by Duncan Fegredo- inkwashed- "painted" in ink really. Hellboy is smoking a...drinking a beer. Shit, I gotta go to work and scan these for you to see- his Google image results dont come up with anything as good as the piece he did for me!
An upcoming cover(!) to The Iron Age by Ariel Olivetti and an original Brad Walker piece of Starlord, Nova and Rocket Raccoon drinking beers.
Huh. Lotta drinking beer on my birthday this year
Last year, when I met Brad Walker, I bought a piece of art from him which would later get used as the cover for Thanos Imparitive #1 second printing! . Yeah, that's framed on my wall.
Now I have the (uncolored) art for this upcoming cover: . Time traveling Iron Man has to collect a group of B-Rate heroes to (somehow) prevent an (also) time-traveling crazy, Dark Phionex from destroying the Earth. BwhahaHAHAHAH!!! It's a pretty great series so far! This issue is die out in September, I think. They should have just titled the series "Screw Causality!"
And Nim, "John Hancock" was just an old screen handle of mine in the pre-net dayz.

Not accepted, don't ever change.

So that's it then. It goes deeper than I would've ever thought. Florida is where it will all end. I've notified Judy Zebra Knight. At the slightest signal from me, her men will enter your bedroom and burp through your pillows, to weaken your Chi level. Zebra Knight has also ordered her crimson guard to readiness level Lemur. Her backyard will see the bayonetting of so many cantaloupes in the coming weeks. You are going to have to work for your Quickening this day, Hancock.

My twin Tortiseshell cats will warn me of any incoming threat and give me time to both find my pants and grab my electrified, acid-spraying Shinto naginata (wich I've dubbed "Betty").
My Chi is a deep and endless ocean. My reach as wide as the night sky.
My typos comprise a secret code which would fuel the hackery novels of Dan Brown for decades, once decoded, they reveal aeons lost secrets, The Grand Unification Solution and what happened to Tony at the end of The Sopranos.

Your arrogance knows no bounds, Hancock. My men shall have your cats cornered and burped at, in short order. Betty will be chopping liver at the Food Network before the week is up, its keen blade covered in pbj. I'll be monitoring it all from K-Paul's (Holy GROUND, highlander!).

uh, Jason, your Naginata doesn't have acid, doesn't even have a flamer. it does has missles and a C3 system for the rest of your lance...

You know, it's a fairly accurate depiction my my casual attire- though I've added some ground effects and a usb hub.
Nim, I forget, does Holy Gound protect you from missiles? Also, my cat casually yawns at your threats (and most things not food related, to be honest).
