Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board 2008: the ultimate MEET-UP at San Diego: wrap-up, pics and sharing experiences

Yeah, my tattoo flaked a bunch. And boy did it hurt on my spine! But, man... so worth it.

My tat of Invisible Kid is doing well. You can't even see an scabs, scarring, or flaky ickyness.

Tell you what, I am now addicted to tattooing, and I plan to get another one as soon as possible. Found a shop in Utah County that gets very high ratings and has an artist who specializes in portraits and another artist for pin-up and celebrity tats (like Marilyn Monroe who is one of his favs to do). My very next tat is going to be a black cat with vampire fangs and bat wings and a demon tail. She has green eyes and will have deep purple shading, as well as little purple hearts with bat wings 'flying' around her. I may add a tiny orange pumpkin next to one of the cat's feet. After that, I want a pentagram, and someday I want a portrait of Elvis doing a snear to which I want vampire fangs added! Woot!!

And now,

A DISPATCH FROM THE FUTURE...

Comic-Con 2033 has been awesome so far. It's been great catching up with all my LW buds... seems like everyone has something new to share.

Personally, I'm grateful for all the new technology that's been developed over the last few years. Especially appreciated is the auto-pixelator, which clips to my collar and automatically renders my image undiscernible in photos.

Cobie brought 11 of his 21 kids with him. (Seems he was inspired by this family: http://www.duggarfamily.com/index.html .) They all love comics.

ActorLad started bringing his own crew of sherpas a few years ago to help haul around his stuff. The big exclusive item this year is the life-size Fin Fang Foom figure, which comes in 10 separate 200-pound crates and requires a crane to assemble.

Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, Quislet, and mechana are continuing the tradition, started 25 years ago, of getting a new tattoo to commemorate Comic-Con. I think Scott now has the entire Legion and is working on the Subs.

I gotta sign off now... Judd Winick's going to be at the panel celebrating 75 years of the Legion. I still find it offensive that they would include him, notwithstanding the 14 years he's spent writing the Legion (or the 9 years he's spent drawing it). Anyway, I want to be first in line so that I can get a front-row seat, and... well, you know... [cracks knuckles and flexes punching muscles]

RE: Cobie's family. That's just wrong. On so many levels.

Hmmkay, so when I make the super photoshopped version of this badboy, who am I adding in that was present but unaccounted for at the time of picture-taking?

Scott, Caroline, Rhonda, Cobie...I know there's a couple missing. who took the photo?!


Mel send me your email address and I'll send you one taken by a stormtrooper, not sure its got "everyone" in it but its pretty big.

Didn't we ask a Stormtrooper (or some other Star Wars guy) to take one of the photos?

Otherwise, it might be Scott. I don't think Caroline, Ronda, or Cobie were at the table on Saturday morning.

Well, I was missing but I don't think that's what you meant MEL

Gigi and Abin! They were taking the pictures. But I know there's at least one or two somewhere with EVERYONE that was present. We just have to find it...

And Raven, too. She had to leave early.

That idiot Abin obviously screwed up when he e-mailed the all inclusive photos to both MEL and Gary.

I'll slap the lout upside his head and have him resend them.

[scrutinizes Gary Concord]

You don't look capable of slapping a muffin out of a well-greased muffin tin.

:scoffs:

YOU clearly don't know Gary Concord.

He's quite menacing and fierce when it comes to slapping muffins around.

But he's only AN Ultra Man. Whatever happened to Gary THE Ultra Man?

(I suspect it's a registration conflict)

Or a clone.

Bah. To prove Gary is nothing special, I signed up for Ultra Man training and passed the academy with the highest marks ever in its history. Now I'm Cobalt Kid, another (and the best) Ultra Man.

BTW, Abin, do you have any of those great photos with me and those <strike>young ladies</strike> costumed attendees?

Do you mean the ones you wanted taken or the ones he'll be blackmailing you with?

Yeah, but I just went back in time and destroyed the Ultra Man training academy after becoming its first (and now only) graduate.

I am therefore STU, the one and only (and therefore best) Ultra Man.

You are both nothing but posers.

You deserve your Legion World Infamy...

Away with you, you glorified muffin-slapper.

Is Gary Concord slapping poor, defenseless muffins again?

I don't do this gratuitously very often, but do you want me to put this twit in the deep freeze for a while?

Nah, don't bother.

I mean, look at the poor guy... I just feel sorry for him. I think he got his Gary Concord certificate from correspondence school or something.

muffin-slapper

And with that, I think it's about time to unhighlight this thread.

Sounds like somebody needs his muffin slapped...
