Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board 101 Things I learned at Comic-Con 08

101. CJ has really soft hair.

100. Cali never goes past the speed limit. Never.

99. Actor Lad is a part time Sherpa.

98. STU really is an alt.

97. Cobie really likes Ace the Bat-Hound.

96. STU's face still breaks cameras.

95. Cali and CJ couldn't withstand my charms

94. That Power Girl over there? The one with the huge ****s? Totally a dude, dude. I'm serious! Look at her face. Told ya! A dude. Like, the Fred Flintstone stubble totally gives it away.

93. That guy dressed as Dove? Totally fake package. What, are you serious? It's pointy, dude. Like, paper-cut pointy.

92. Even a Stormtrooper will cry when told that he has just missed out on buying the last limited-edition, San Diego Comic-Con exclusive King Greyskull figure after waiting in the Mattel line for four hours.

91. Colleen Doran is even hotter than I'd been led to believe.

90. I have very strong (negative) feelings about Judd Winick that I'd apparently been repressing since the last episode of The Real World: San Francisco aired.

89. I really don't know the lyrics to many songs, but that doesn't stop me from making up lyrics of my own and singing along at a piano bar after I've had a couple of drinks.

88. If you're low on cash and pressed for time, the packets of ketchup, mustard, and relish by the snack bar on the mezzanine of the San Diego Convention Center make a quick, free meal in a pinch.

87. Dan DiDio is human, like everyone else. If pricked, he will bleed.

86. It turns out those ugly orange "DC Nation" buttons they handed out at the last con are good for something, after all.

85. Those actors dressed as Superman and Batman at the DC booth? Apparently, they're Dan DiDio's personal bodyguards, and they clearly work out.

84. You see a lot of unusual characters in the waiting room at the San Diego hospital, but somehow you're the odd one just because you're wearing a Power Girl costume and bleeding profusely.

83. l.e.g.i.o.n.John is a professional videographer. At least he is now.

82. Sir Tim Drake is working on a degree focused on comic books.

81. Vu prefers veal.

80. The vast majority of the stuff at the "freebies"/"giveaways" table consists of postcards and flyers that you don't really need, want, or have any use for.

79. Knowledge of the above will not necessarily prevent you from stuffing your pockets with the stuff anyway.

78. The maitre d's at some restaurants have trouble spelling the name "C.J."

77. Onstar, its me Cali.

76. Gigglebot Girl - she really does giggle!

75. Cramer really does have coffee with her all the time.

74. Chris Batista - he LOVES the Legion. Just ask him.

73. And his girlfriend is hot.

72. Todd Nauck looks like Jim from the Office.

71. CJ joined Dharama to get to Hurley.

70. Keith Giffen has a good sense of humor about his body-count.

69. [This space reserved for a drunken CJ]

68. Jeff Moy and the Bierbaums (among many others) are tremendously nice human beings, not just talented.

69. Paul Chadwick is the Incredibly Disappearing Man.

70. Sometimes it's actually impossible to spend money.

71. Starbucks coffee isn't half bad (or was I desperate?) and it's no more expensive in the Convention Center than outside.

64. Grant Morrison has a really sexy accent.

63. CJ hearts Robert Kirkman.

62. He and Scooter want to make a Kirkman sandwich.

61. Getting a tattoo hurt more than I thought it would.

60. Refer to 62, CJ would be in the middle.

59. If your father is a famous writer, but you choose to write under a pseudonymous surname, it probably shouldn't come as a surprise that relatively few people know who you are, and your Comic-Con panel is half empty.

58. "You can't come in; this panel is completely full" sometimes actually means "There are still some empty seats, but I don't feel like opening the door again."

57. Some people love Lost and Heroes so much that they are willing to spend the night sleeping in the San Diego Convention Center in order to have the opportunity to attend a panel. (Really, this shocked the heck out of me when I heard it.)

56. If you're unable to attend a panel that features an announcement or presentation of interest, don't worry; less than five minutes after the panel is over, the relevant information will be widely available on the internet.

55. If you're unable to obtain the limited edition Comic-Con exclusive toy/action figure/collectible you covet, don't worry; less than five minutes after the last such item is sold, it will be widely available on eBay for a 100% to 1000% mark-up. (On the bright side, the shipping is free because you can just walk over to the seller and pick it up.)

54. Sometimes there are things you did not know you wanted until after you've already paid for them.

53. If you're wearing an extremely tight spandex costume, supportive undergarments might be a good idea.

52. Abin's acrophobia can be triggered by heights lower than the observation deck of the Stratosphere.

51. Sometimes it can take up to 15 minutes to put a single scoop of ice cream into a cone.
