I don't think that's what he meant, but on that topic ... it should be noted that the one time in my life that I can recall that I was aware that my life was in immediate peril, all I did was laugh.

I was so scared that I couldn't stop laughing ... it's an odd sensation.

No, I meant the ways we describe it.

I busted a gut. I laughed my head off. I almost burst a blood vessel, almost had a heart attack, couldn't breath. That kind of stuff always sounds painful.

To be fair, assuming you live to a certain age, there's a chance laughing, at least real, deep founded laughter, could become painful. I can't count the number of times I've seen an elderly man find something absolutley hilarious, bend over from laughter, then abruptly start "choke-coughing" and pounding his chest like he's trying to restart his heart.

I think the shape you're in at that age though is a major factor.

Did you install a webcam on my computer when I wasn't watching?

Your computer? No.

Ahhh. Then you have discovered my secret.

The bedroom is the only place I ever get serious.

The reason I think the rumor got started, was because Coolstuffinc bidded on Starcity's auction and it's name appeared on the "Liquidating Vs" auction.

No, the "rumor" got started because coolstuff's store clerk told myself, Ben Brozene, Justin Futch and Jimmy Igo that they were GETTING OUT OF VS on Sunday afternoon when we stopped in the store to draft on the way home from the Ramada/Orlando 10K. She specifically said they were NOT going to be buying or selling any new product. I asked her SPECIFICALLY if she was referring only to singles and she said no, she meant ALL Vs. product. She said Hobby League attendence was non-existant and that the PCQ's/Prereleases actually cut into their normally scheduled gaming events that actually generate money for the store.

I was upset that we might be losing our local venue for PCQ's and Prereleases (unfortunately, I don't get to attend their Hobby League as it is during the week and I work at night M-Fri). I posted the information because I thought it would (perhaps) generate some outcry from the local community to the store to (perhaps) change their minds about the situation.

I hope that is what has happened here. Either that, or their clerk (female, mid 20's... not TJ) is an idiot/misinformed/bearing a grudge/on the rag/fill in the blank.

Hell, I even mentioned the great deals I scored while I was there on singles. Not an advertisement for coolstuff...just bragging about what I got on the cheap.

good thing i usally get my "stuff" from them eye gotts a good % off from dat place
