Rick Olney--Fibber or Mega-Giganta-Fibber?

[THEDOC]

Someone needs to auction off a "Olney Omnibus" that includes all his snipes, jabs, two-steps and blatant use of threat quotes from 90's B-list stars.


But, really, where's this blog he's speaking of? I'd like to read it and maybe cut-n-paste.


Here it is:

You will notice at the end of the blog he will talk about SPA, ICC and other Small Press groups which I am sure includes the IF group.:D

Oh I am sure in the Olneyverse we are Cardasians and he is The Federation, though I think more Ferengi.

Naw, to him we are Borg. Hmmm...how come the Borg and the Dominion never clashed?

Now I'm missing new Star Trek.......they need to get a new show on the air that doesn't suck.

[Gail Simone]

I say again, he could STILL salvage something if he were to simply quit pretending this is all some elaborate legal dodge and make a real payment plan that STARTS WITH THE FIRST PAYMENT to the many, many people he's cheated, and an apology.

So much of this ill will against him would go away.

But the truth is, he doesn't have the money to pay and never did, and all this threatening stuff is just what he always does when the truth comes out. It's never Rick's fault, no matter how poorly planned, under-funded, or horribly executed his projects are.

Olney's worse, bed-wetting nightmare is that all the lies he's told will be uncovered and eventually he'll have to stand before someone he can't lie to or brush off.

Judges are awesome for this very reason.

[JamesRitcheyIII]

Ronee, I'm not discussing your situation or ANY of the specific talent under work-for-hire with me here. Your credibility is just as shot with me as you claim to dislike, distrust and abhor me. Fine. Just re-read your emails of yesterday, because that is that last I'll be communicating with you. You'll be dealt with fairly. But I'm not handling it.

Hi, Rick!
You really are just too goddamned preoccupied with amending your reality every day to be able to live with yourself, to have any energy left over to write out checks, sign them and mail them to the people you owe money to, aren't you? Why the fuck do you think you've reached this impasse? Are you stupid or delusional enough to believe that these people don't feel honestly wronged by you--A LOT OF PEOPLE? This is righteous indignation, and it is indeed righteous. We're here to make sure you will fuck no one, or interfere with their careers, ever again, you bigoted, cheapskate Carpetbagger. Send these folks that you owe money to some fucking checks--it'll work wonders for your credibility and reputation.

Borg/Dominion. Maybe the Borg were waiting in the wings to see how each would fare or they were still recovering from First Contact.

In my case, that means I hold true to my promise: I will stock no product that has Rick Olney involved in it until I hear from every creator I know of telling me (or a reputable source) "Mr. Olney has paid me."

Whether or not he's actually got the funds to do this at this point is irrelevant: he has promised to pay these various people for the work they've done. Now, then or later, these people need to see their earned funds from Mr. Olney.

There's a post on a Pulse thread somewhere where it's clear the Ghost Hunters people want nothing more to do with Olney after he cancelled on them with no notice.

[Gail Simone]

I only post this little bit here because Olney used to mention Billy Tucci often, an artist/writer that I have TREMENDOUS respect for (and who gave me some great free SHI comics a while back that hooked me on his work). I'm not posting this as a dig at anyone, I just thought it was a very sweet and kind note.

GailWheezy is a member of the Sci-Fi show GHOSTHUNTERS and as far as I know he was to make money on the back end sale of the book. OTHER team members were enlisted to be at this years cacelled MMC and contracted to have half payment before the show and after they signed this Rick had ME contact them and offer an ammended contract saying that they would instead get the monies upon check in at the hotel he never booked anyone at. I know currently at least ONE member has still been promised pay as she took the days off work to attend the show that never happened.

Yes, Billy's work is incredible. Hopefully I'll be able to get him to do a cover in 2008.

Why would that make her credibility "shot"... do you think she's lying about that?

Her credibility is shot with me for obvious reasons, Nat. Whether she lies or not as a day-to-day happenstance remains to be seen.

There's something to be said about a message that turns itself into a lie...
Would not "fairly" have involved paying her in a timely fashion?

Well, for those that have been paying attention -- Ronee is now waiting for contact from (my imaginary) lawyer (don't want to ruin the drama for anyone here) so that he can provide her with the option of getting paid after signing a release/hold harmless document. Without a viable contract, her only other course of action is to sue and be able to prove that she did whatever work she feels the need to be compensated for. Our records show that she is rightfully due $800 dollars. We've tried to open dialogue with her three times with no luck. My attorney (imaginary and all) has the emails, and is well aware of the role that Ronee played from June until December. 'Course, she claims to have resigned a job that she never accepted under the proper and legal confines of our understanding. So who knows how it'll go.

You've talked about how people will be hearing from you or your lawyer "in due time" -- hasn't "due time" already passed?

Well, I can't speak for my (imaginary) attorney. All I can tell you is that everything is being made note of, and either the civil actions on the matter of broken NDA's or the actions against those fitting the legal template for other infractions should be underway soon. For sure, this forum and website will never give a fair chance to anyone that has made mistakes and is trying to correct them. And certainly, nobody on my side of the fence is going to play out any more drama here.

[Matt Doc Martin]

Yes, Billy's work is incredible. Hopefully I'll be able to get him to do a cover in 2008.

Will you publish books from prison?

Also...did you threaten Mike to retract his claim? Yes or no?

[TomStillwell]

Yes, Billy's work is incredible. Hopefully I'll be able to get him to do a cover in 2008.

Actually, it is NOT obvious. What IS obvious if her asking for information, then you promising information, then you denying information and pretty much saying "Neener, neener"

'Course, she claims to have resigned a job that she never accepted under the proper and legal confines of our understanding. So who knows how it'll go.


And again, as far as dialogue goes...she has repeatedly asked for information YOU PROMISED to release...and you never did. YOU say she is due money...so pay her.

[Blake Petit]

Believe me, that's one that I was glad to do. As a Schulz fan, even getting to see this lost Schulz work myself was a happy thing. As someone with an enthusiasm for the comics scene, it was an honor to bring this work to others.
And as a publisher, it was a pleasure to generate both recognition and checks for Jim Sasseville. What I said before is true, paying creators is one of the joys of the job... and in this case, the money went to a man who was in the closing act of life, whose body was failing him and who had other problems besetting him as well. Improving the lives of comics creators -- even if it's only in small ways, and even if it's just one at a time -- is something more should strive for.

(And I suspect you'll be thanking me again in May.)

TC, nobody likes a dumb ass. But being a smart ass aint all its cracked up to be. Ask my fans and cheerleaders here. :D

Matt Doc Martin asked, "Do YOU pay yourself?

And did you threaten Mike to retract his statement. Yes or no?"

No. And no.

Heh. Very interesting...

Quoted, peanut!

[Rick Olney]

Rick. I can prove you are lying about Mike.

Will you retract your statement about threatening him?

No, I think you'd probably just be better off saving it for your trial. :D Mr. Climek wasn't threatened in any way, and that you would suggest such a thing reeks of the stink that comes from this forum ... and it ain't
me.

Fixed that for you, free-of-charge.

Unlike the columns I did for you, which were free-of-payment.

[Ronée]

Blah blah blah.... keep talking and making empty threats. No one believes shit. I cannot WAIT for your attorney to contact me. honestly I am on pins and needles over here!!!

And yes we SHOULD be talking more about the medium, maybe we should take a page out of your book and talk ourselves up to something much bigger than we are and make up stories about how we started all things comic like.

You repeatedly admit that you owe me money blowhard.... contract means shit. In place of a written contract is a verbal one and your repeated posts acknowledging that you owe me are all I need to prove it.

And as for me losing credibility.... I tell the truth, of course it is not the truth you want people to hear but I am tired of trying to cover your ass while you make a complete and utter fool of yourself and your family.

I think she'll find that on the convention trail this year ... she won't be as much the 'hero' for stickin' her nose into the business of other people ... as she might think she is. I know why she started it and I'm still waiting for her to bring it. And, she's running out of time.

Oh, nobody's gonna worry about Mr. Tucci! Even if the bizarre, and improbable possibility exists that he ignores sensible advice from respected creators (not me--you helped see to that) and agrees to do work for you, I'm fairly certain he'll be counciled to:
A. Get the money up front and the check cashed before putting a single line to paper, and
B. Have a hearty laugh over your useless NDA, that you use to menace unsuspecting independent contractors when they desire payment for work they've done, and mail it back, signed John Hancock.

you're not fooling anybody but yourself.

Is this all gibberish to you? Are you that deluded?

You've wronged people. You're not going to be able to do that anymore.

Apologize, and pay everybody the money you owe them, and you likely won't be seen as the worst douchebag in Small and Indy Comics history, from now on. Why do you think they got so pissed off as to so-called 'violate' that monument to your paranoia, that pointless NDA, in the first place? Good luck in front of a judge.

You said here several times that you paid my husband's airfare. You and I both know you did not, that it's a complete lie.

I wonder if it's a violation of anything to claim a DA has issued a warrant if he hasn't?

Might be worth asking that local DA's office...

[Blake Petit]

I only post this little bit here because Olney used to mention Billy Tucci often, an artist/writer that I have TREMENDOUS respect for (and who gave me some great free SHI comics a while back that hooked me on his work). I'm not posting this as a dig at anyone, I just thought it was a very sweet and kind note.

"Gail, you can ask Beau on how much of a big fan of yours I am! I had a lot of fun doing Heroes For Hire for Marvel and if you'd ever like me to draw one of your books, please ask! We'd have a blast and rock the industry.
All the best,
Billy"

Man, now I gotta figure out some way to make that happen. Tucci's work is incredible!

I am pretty sure he is not claiming that one HAS been issued...but that one WILL be issued. He HAS claimed before that the police and the sheriff were on their way. (They apparently lost their way to my house and/or decided to fight crime that day.)

All a few of you do have are personal problems of your own. And, while I'm really not about making anyone's life harder or more difficult ... the few that have semi-legitiamte claims with me get swallowed up by the shite spinning, trolls blather, and dull pissing and moaning here.

When the time is proper, people will step forward to correct themselves. Myself included. I suspect that many here think what has taken place here is justified. I present to you that it is not. I see it as a tarbaby that each of you touched and can't wash off. "Gail's" remarks about me having body odor are cute and childish. So much so, that I may just pay for someone that REALLY has a hygene problem to attend the next convention east of Chicago that she guests at ... just to give her a taste of reality. Doubt I'll do it? Ask Dennis Kininger, "Gail" ... it could happen.

This "peanut" stuff. It kind of turns me on in an innocent way. See... having a former connection to a major insurance company once known for using Snoopy of Peanuts fame only brings me fond memories. So, thank you, Sarah.

"Gail" I'm being called to go eat my dinner, but I'll be back later if you allow me to. And I'll post at least one lie that you have stated and perpetuated here.

[Papergirl]

How is a pseudonym a question of legality...unless she uses it to defraud people?

edit: My middle name is NOT "Doc". That is a nickname. You know...for legalities sake.

Or slander or libel someone. Say, like you've done. But, no wait! You actually are Matt Martin.

It's not libel if it's true, ricky-boy.


Quoted, peanut!

[Matt Doc Martin]

*sigh*


No pm yet.

[JamesRitcheyIII]

How would you know, you Mary-Sue-creating, bad monster movie swiping, magic-fish-is-my-only-friend talentless hack?

Gail

Are you kidding? Ricky-Boy's entire reality is imaginary. He's Barry Allen, and we're the freaking Rogue's Gallery.

Skill, talent, intelligence, originality and creativity are another story. I won't even get started on sanity.

[DocAbsurd]

No, Paul! It is a matter of legality.

Now, as to a lie that "Gail Simone" produced here -- I have several, with checkable proof to the contrary. So who wants to line up to volunteer and challenge. If I'm right, then you leave this forum for 30 days. If I'm wrong, I'll apologize to "Gail" and send her something other than a court order. Heh, heh...

Volunteer to what, Chuckles? Be more specific.

But, wait! No, none of you would hold up to your end of the wager if I was right ... so we can forget about that idea. I guess you'll each just need to risk being forced to realize that "Gail", like any other human being, has faults and lies at times to suit her storytelling.

You . . . you mean Gail isn't perfect?

You mean I've been blindly following the words of someone who lies, who breaks promises, who tells the incomplete half of their version of events so they come out the injured party in every catastrophic event since the extinction of the dinosaurs?

No, wait; that was you I followed.

Sorry, easy mix-up.

[Blake Petit]

Strictly, perhaps, though as Blake pointed out, she's not denying it's a pen name. That being the case, it's hard for me to consider it in any way a lie.

PDS

My point exactly.

Hell, by this logic if I show up on Halloween dressed like Indiana Jones, I'm opening myself up for legal challenges.

[Papergirl]

Give me one, Rick.

Just one.

I have tons of evidence that you lie more than some people blink.

And my story hasn't changed one iota. Yours changes from post to post.

Name one.















Figured.

Gail

"Gail" I'm being called to go eat my dinner, but I'll be back later if you allow me to. And I'll post at least one lie that you have stated and perpetuated here.

Wow. Bellevue sure make you eat late. I figured it would be a 5:00 feeding there.

[Paul D. Storrie]

No, Paul! It is a matter of legality.

And once again your try to switch from what was being discussed -- is a pseudonym/pen name a lie -- to something else entirely.

Now, as to a lie that "Gail Simone" produced here -- I have several, with checkable proof to the contrary. So who wants to line up to volunteer and challenge. If I'm right, then you leave this forum for 30 days. If I'm wrong, I'll apologize to "Gail" and send her something other than a court order. Heh, heh...

You suggest that none of us would live up to our end of a promise, but it has been amply proved, with numerous examples, that you don't live up to yours. So who would be more likely to be disappointed in any exchange of promises?

History says anyone who expects you to do what you promise to do.

[DocAbsurd]

What I'm saying is that "Gail Simone" is a nobody. She is a simple pen name on a bunch of stories. Doesn't mean that I don't think she's talented, obviously. But "Gail Simone" is not married. I doubt that "Gail Simone" pays taxes either. Does her son's school teacher's know and address her as "Gail Simone"? I doubt it.

It bothers me not.

Then answer this question in 50 semi-comprehensible words or less:

Why do you -- and only you -- keep harping on this one particular fact?

[Gail Simone]

Good lord, you're stupid.

Look, if you knew anything about publishing, which you clearly don't and never will, you'd know that I'm far from the only person in comics using a pen name. Not only do my tax people know it, they're entertainment accountants and helped me set up my D.B.A. Everyone I work with knows it, my son's teacher in fact DOES know it. You act like it's this horrifying secret when in fact, it was a simple convenience to keep my then-two-separate careers distinct. If you're so dim-witted you think Richard Bachman is pulling something over on the tax man, I just pity you.

Grow up. For god's sake. There's a difference between what YOU do and what the real world of publishing does.

Okay, let's try now. You have more than once claimed that you bought my husband's ticket. Without your usual gobbledebullshit, me, the person you invited to the con...did you pay my husband's airfare as you claim? Did you even pay all of mine?

If you don't know, just say so.

Or, you could, for once, tell the fricking truth.

[Gail Simone]

You know, it just came to me.

Whenever Rick does this, this flooding with posts thing, it's always, always because he's trying to push something he doesn't want seen down the thread. He's done it over and over again.

Wonder what we posted recently that made him pee his pants like this?

Very true

Not just comics, mind you, But that doesn't seem to make any difference to peanut. (I just turned him on!)

Grow up. For god's sake. There's a difference between what YOU do and what the real world of publishing does.

For starters, the real world of publishing ...publishes.

Okay, let's try now. You have more than once claimed that you bought my husband's ticket. Without your usual gobbledebullshit, me, the person you invited to the con...did you pay my husband's airfare as you claim? Did you even pay all of mine?

Good luck with that one.

If you don't know, just say so.

Good luck with that one as well.

Or, you could, for once, tell the fricking truth.

Gail

Right.....

[kingdom2000]

Why does Rick (and to lesser extent Gail) always bring the conversation back to a plane ticket and $100 rather then the larger issues of non payment to mulitple creators and employees? Of the two, I much much rather hear explantions of the latter then the former.

[Magneto_X]

No, the Marines taught me to adapt, overcome adversity, and above all else -- treat people (especially the enemy) as they treat you.

Only you're terrible at adapting and overcoming adversity.

The only thing you sem to do well is treat everyone as "the enemy".

But you're a gutless jerk so that must come naturally.

I've had a couple dozen people willing and wanting to come here to speak out on and against "Gail's" lunacy. I warned them off, least wise until i get told differently.

Who are these supposed "friends"? Your family and pets don't count, btw.

I think she'll find that on the convention trail this year ... she won't be as much the 'hero' for stickin' her nose into the business of other people ... as she might think she is. I know why she started it and I'm still waiting for her to bring it. And, she's running out of time.

Bring it, "Gail"...

Anyone else find this threatening?

Gail, you should make sure to have someone (like your husband) around if this nutbar shows up on the convention circuit. And/or possibly convention security to intervene.

[Matt Doc Martin]

I think he does it for attention.

And because he is fucked up in the head. Lingering brain damage, maybe? He says he took an injury that messes with him mentally....

I think to show an example of how "Rick" doesn't do what he promises, even with the smallest amount.

[Magneto_X]

Great to have an imagination, isn't it, Kurt?

Unlike you, Rick, he's actually good at using it.

He's also really in the comic industry. Something you will never be.

Simply because it's stuff he's lied about in black and white on this thread. Stuff he knows I can prove 100% with a flick of the yahoo, as it were.

Of COURSE there are larger issues, and I told him to stuff the remainder of his 'check's in the mail' posts after two years. But he lied about it, in black and white, right here, and I can easily prove it.

Plus it's hilarious that he always runs instead of answering it.

[NatGertler]

Her credibility is shot with me for obvious reasons, Nat.You claim the reasons are "obvious", but last time you explained them it boiled down to the fact that she doesn't like you. Sorry, I don't see someone not liking you as a reason for them not having credibility.
Well, for those that have been paying attention -- Ronee is now waiting for contact from (my imaginary) lawyer (don't want to ruin the drama for anyone here) so that he can provide her with the option of getting paid after signing a release/hold harmless document. Without a viable contract, her only other course of action is to sue and be able to prove that she did whatever work she feels the need to be compensated for. Our records show that she is rightfully due $800 dollars.Okay, let's see what just happened here. You just admitted that she is RIGHTFULLY DUE that money... and yet you're only giving her the "option" to get paid IF she jumps through additional hoops you set up. Apparently, someone being "rightfully due" money from you is not enough to actually pay them.We've tried to open dialogue with her three times with no luck.Well, first off, since you did some of your dance in public, we've seen what you consider "no luck", Rick. She accedes all to readily to your requests, merely asking for information on your lawyer to continue -- and you act as if that's some violation and an excuse for you to yank away the offer.
Secondly, she is not in any way that I can see obligated to have a dialogue with you. You yourself described a debt to her as being "rightfully due"; the obligation is then yours to pay her that money.
All I can tell you is that everything is being made note of, and either the civil actions on the matter of broken NDA's or the actions against those fitting the legal template for other infractions should be underway soon.Having seen the promises of violence you've posted that never came to pass, having seen your promotion for conventions that never came to pass, I really can't put any faith in your claims that your civil actions will come to pass.
For sure, this forum and website will never give a fair chance to anyone that has made mistakes and is trying to correct them.Funny, you show little sign of trying to correct any of these mistakes, Rick. Looking at this message, you're talking about how you're planning to sue people, and how you're withholding rightfully due monies in order to get someone to sign something to your advantage - and this message isn't at all out of tone with your other posts here. These aren't corrections of mistakes, these are further transgressions.

[OzBat!]

Mr Olney, could you please have a quick look at the following names and advise:

Stan Lee. Bob Kane. Jack Kirby. Real names or pseudonym/pen names?

And does the answer somehow invalidate their standing as real legal people or the works they've produced?

No. It's one more failed attempt at being ominous.

Also, it flailingly tries to imply that there are lots of people going to cons who will sympathize with Rick and think Gail's a big meanie for letting a large group of people know he's an utter deadbeat.

This is a sign of an imagination. Warped and faulty, but an imagination.

I have an idea for a comic.

There is a team led by a brilliant, tall, dead-sexy man named Matt Mart....I mean, Magnus Grimcore.

Gail

While I may certainly be a card-carrying megalomaniac, go back and check my posts--I'm speaking 'Retardese', breaking everything down to 'brass tacks' minimalism, and I'm just itching for a head-on confrontation. It would be great if he did an 'Ad Hominem' attack, like he's done with you--bringing up disinformational minutiae to deflect his obvious culpability, and from answering any pertinent questions about the way he treats creators. I'd LOVE for him to say I'm unimportant, it's none of my business, or 'who the fuck do you think you are'--his predictable tactics, followed by ill-informed, naive, blustering threats. It's all a game to him, and he's not bright enough to realize he isn't very good at it. Maybe he's waiting for someone to slip up, and issue a terroristic threat, to add a real procecutable offense, for his imaginary lawyer.
I also speak Neuro-Linguistic Programming, which he's intermediary at, at best. Add that to the sheer volume of malice we have here, and he's on the run.

Again, all he would have to do, likely, is apologize, and pay the creators he knows he owes, for this to become a non-event. He won't rip anyone off ever again, in any case. For any of us to sue him, the best he could do is a counterclaim with his pitifully tiny, limp NDA. I never signed it, refusing to grant him publication rights to the one thing he wanted by me--and ONE THREAT TOWARDS ME EVER AGAIN--I would have a dozen people who know the lowdown of his involvement in my 'loss of profession' sign sworn affidavits.

PDS

Ok, I am not questioning Gail's honesty....in fact, I am 99% sure I am defending it. :D

I try to be an honest person as well, and if the lemming proves to me that Gail lied, I will leave. But I like this board and don't want to be caught on a technicality.

Done.

That will do it. :)

I know it's rough, Gail, but take heart.

Rick says you're going to learn a terribly hard lesson in the coming weeks.

So rejoice -- you'll finally be able to play the 1812 Overture on a Hohner. Those harmonica lessons will pay off!

Huh. I thought she was more of a kazoo impressario.

Well, yeah.

That's why the harmonica lessons were terribly hard.

I mean, duhh.

So... should I plan a road trip, Ms. Saki?

I'm not baaaaaad... I'm just drawn that way!Sure Koben... you bring the sake and I will pretend I'm not bad ;)

[AIPman1]

How is a pseudonym a question of legality...unless she uses it to defraud people?

edit: My middle name is NOT "Doc". That is a nickname. You know...for legalities sake.

my new pen name is "Ian Shires"

[AaronJ]

I can't believe you've never heard it sing!

I'm gonna have nightmares.

Not that "Rick" isn't enough to ruin someone's sleep. But that frog-thing-whatever-the-hell-it-is-supposed-to-be is more disturbing than the first time I watched "Hellraiser".

OK, I am "being called" to the coffee shop, and then the Aussie Open final. Good luck everyone.





BTW, dino-pirates demolish dino-ninjas everytime!

[Gail Simone]

I predict more people will thank her than anything.

If I see her, I will.

That's certainly been the case so far. I have a file full of thank you's from people he's cheated and abused.

He really is a world class creep.

[Papergirl]

The guy has SERIOUS women issues.

Probably comes from being, well, you know, himself.

Gail

Heh! Yeah, he does. And I would be more than happy to give him an attitude adjustment. Free of charge, even! All he needs to do is show up at MegaCon and call me a ho to my face. After all, he was a "big" enough "man" to do it here. In person should be a breeze for him!

I don't have or use any "sockpuppets" orther than my orcafresh screen name, Mr. Johnson.

I didn't and you won't.

Know how I know?

'Cause I told the truth so I don't have to 'keep my story straight,' as the deadbeat does.

Well, the kazoo is one underestimated instrument.

[Sarah Beach]

Whew! Finally caught up! This is what I get for taking care of car maintainence and having a business meeting on a day off, consequently being offline for most of the day! Stuff happens!

And after reading through 20 some pages after his threat directed at me, do I find anything about what he's mad at me about now? Nope? Although he does tell me that he links "peanut" to Snoppy & Met Life & the Schultz strip, so it gives him warm, fuzzy feelings.

You know what? Even though it's seriously deluded, it is sort of nice that he can feel "warm & fuzzy" about something.

Even though the reference here has nothing to do with witty, funny beagles.

So, peanut-brain, do tell me, what is this latest offense that you're threatening me about? Is it the Unscrewed! Chronology I've been compiling? 'Cause, you know, I don't have to do anything but plug stuff into a time line. I'm not making up stuff. Just copying from various posts (or emailed information), many of which YOU wrote & posted. peanut. Particularly the stuff from the CBC board.

If that's what's bugging you today, I just find it sooooooo interesting. You don't want people to pay attention to that?

And Gail.... I think the thing he wanted to push way down the board was the copy of his blog - you know, where he sniped at the young actor for speaking up, calling him "person" condescendingly, and snitting about his "internet life". Because since he called Michael, and Michael retracted his very mild comments, he doesn't want anyone remembering what HE said about Michael. Pfft.

Now, see.... he spends his day spreading this kind of garbage. I spent my day laying plans for publishing a non-fiction book, and strategizing how to publicize it, and sell it. Which reminds me, I need to go send an email to my friend (and he really is, peanut) Steve Lieber, about commissioning something from him for that project.

He adores sockpuppets. He admitted to us that he used them at the comicon board when he held us hostage at the Shitty Mini Con, telling about how great he was and all the wonderful people he'd passed in the hallway.

Gail

[Cam63]

Kurt, you are hilarious.

INTENTIONALLY hilarious.

And you don't smell, just thought I'd throw that in.

Gail

How does he detect gas leaks ?

[Gail Simone]

You might be right, Sarah. I feel bad for Michael having to cross paths with our local loon, as well.

Gail

[Crowley]

I'm afraid you won't be that lucky, "Gail" ...as I plan on being around comics for at least another 30 years. :D

AHAHAHAHHA!

Thirty years?
You are really off to a promising start here at 52 and with how many lawsuits aimed at you?

Great business plan...

I plan on listening to this for at least thirty years!

Also, I plan on writing a complete rip-off of a lousy movie with the same premise, sticking an obvious Mary Sue in it, and calling it MONSTER SQUAD!
