Drunken Pumpkin

A country can be judged by the quality of its proverbs.

Using circular logic to pat your nationalistic pride on the back.

I’m shocked and amazed that Jeff would consider any format changes to the beloved Drunken Pumpkin. Has he no loyalty to the dozen or so of you that stop by every day?

Actually, I got an email the other day saying that he was playing around with some new ideas for the site and I was pretty happy. After all, we’ve been doing this for just over a year and I finally gave him a book on PHP so we can actually sort out what all of this stuff does. I’m hoping that in the next few weeks/ months we’ll have some more original stuff up, and the site might be a smidgen more interactive. But that last bit is more in your court than ours. Unless we log your IP addresses and come to your houses individually and make you leave comments. Trust me, that’s still an option.

In completely unrelated news I was looking at the guest list for Wizard World Chicago. I have yet to figure out how some of these people become attached to comic book conventions. I understand Lou Ferrigno, he was the original Hulk. And I almost get the presence of the Star Wars second string and Battlestar Galactica, but what’s with the wrestlers? And what’s with the playboy model? I know that hot chicks are a big draw for these events, as it’s the only way most of these guys will ever be in the presence of a woman that isn’t running away, but what the hell does that have to do with comics?

Maybe I’m just peeved that I’ll be there with my wife and won’t have a chance to faun over the Playmate paid to put up with me. Yeah, that’s probably it. But if you make it to Wizard World look me up. I’ll be the guy buying comics.

Tune in tomorrow for fish.

Can you spot the fake websites in McAfee’s quiz?

I’m sad, I only got 7 of 10 right. That may actually mean that I don’t deserve to have any personal information.
