Hey, look! A relatively EASY day for us to cover!
Vic
What kind of pose is that in the Torchwood picture?? Lol, that’s so weird…
Maybe it’s just a weird camera angle but it looks like he’s about to do the limbo while holding a gun in one hand and grabbing his hand with the other hand, lol. Guns and limbo don’t mix, someone might lose an eye…
I’m bummed I’m gonna miss the Doctor Who panel but maybe my convention luck will prevail and I’ll meet Tennant out on the floor. I’m going to try and see the Torchwood panel but if not I’ll have fun hanging out all day. Hopefully meeting the SR crew later in the afternoon.
Is there any info on what kind of beer will be available? I hope they have more than Coors and Miller on tap. lol, hell I’m not driving.
If you talk to Russel T. Davies, can you ask what’ll happen to Torchwood now that he’s moving to America? and WHY is he moving to America???
here’s the link proof to my last comment: http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/113365/Dr-Who-genius-leaves-for-America
He’s moving to America to escape the rain, lol, just kidding dude. One day, one day, when I have money, I want to go to the UK, should be fun. Maybe go out on a wilderness thing in New Zealand or something too. Man, so much traveling, so little time and money…
Man, I can’t wait for comic con, so much cool news stories come out of that. I’ll be visiting Screenrant every hour on the hour on those days, haha.
Too bad you won’t be there Ken J.
Yep, too bad. WAY too many expenses to even THINK about taking time off work, especially to travel. At least I own both my cars, so no car payments, unfortunately still have mortgage to pay for my house, lol. Sad thing is, even after I completely pay off my home (VERY close!), the association fees are redonkulous! Not to mention auto insurance on two cars, one a gas guzzling sports car, the other a gas guzzling truck. So I’m never going to escape having crazy expenses every month, lol. Screw the association, I’m going to sell the house and move somewhere without a HOA, lol. One day I will, then maybe I might actually go to these comic cons and stuff like that. That would be sweet. I was just helping my friend pick out excursions to sign up to for the European cruise she’s going on. So jealous…
Yeah that’s real tragic Ken, you forgot your custom Colt 45,,,
lol
Heehee,,,
Btw, were all impressed with your Miami Vice lifestyle Ken J. LOL
South Beach. Woooo:!
Miami Vice? LOL, I don’t have a convertable! Or spikey hair! lol
Yah, so Miami Vice, my house is worth probably 1/10th the APARTMENTS on Miami Beach, much less the houses! lol. It doesn’t even have a garage…
And my car is an old beater Mustang that I’m fixing up, nothing to show off about, but I like it, it’s loud.
And I bought my truck when gas prices were $4 a gallon and everyone was staying away from trucks like the plague, got a GREAT deal for it. It was cheaper than a small compact car, but I have GPS, leather seats, everything. Thank goodness for the gas price panic…
It’s all about saving money for me man.
I haven’t gone shooting in months thanks to me being so broke. I had to cancel my SPR upper receiver I had on order :’(, but the custom 1911 is still on its way, but not going to be here until January so I have plenty of time to save up for it…
No lavish lifestyle here unfortunately… I would wish to win the lottery but can’t pay up the $1 a week for it, hahahaha, just kidding…
You truly are lost Ken J,,, good luck to you…
Damn, now why did you have to say it and make it factual, geez…
Just curious though, do you think we are having some kind of “argument” here? Because I’m just chatting with you, but sometimes I can’t tell what you think is going on…
If not, then disregard, just checking to be sure.
@Ken J & 790
I don’t want your arguments bleeding over from post to post. If you have issues I will gladly email both of you each other’s email addresses and you can argue to your heart’s content offline.
Cut it out or I’ll start deleting comments.
Vic
There’s no reason you need to do that Vic!! Just let me at them with my bat’leth and I’ll settle all arguments!!!
You all know that was Kahless the Klingon, right?
@vic, I wasn’t even arguing with him, I thought I was just chatting, but he did seem like he thought we were getting into it, that’s why I asked that last question there to make sure he knows I was just chatting with him…
@John, yah yah yah, blame everything on your alter-ego, lol.
