Picked up the Hardcover edition of Black jack 1. (Hardcover edition is ONLY available at diamond comics affiliates and includes an extra chapter, they will do this for the first 3 volumes only)

I strongly recommend it

OH! I have that waiting for me at my local comic retailer. I hear it's nice as sex.

Only 1500 of volume one, and 1200 of volumes 2 & 3 are being printed? And they come along with extra stories not found in the soft cover editions?

That's 2x the

for me. Seriously, I've all but stopped buying DVDs since every damn store does their own promo thing, don't fucking start this shit with manga.

Speaking of which, I cut down on a lot of the series I collect. Right now, I just need Jojo 11 & 12, xxxHOLiC 12, Dragonball Big 2, and anything on Cromartie High School after Volume 10.

Thinking about taking a peek at the Phoenix Wright manga, though.

I thought it would be OK, I thought I'd just have a fun comic to read. But no. No! Now I'm getting pages like this:
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/306/06/. Which brings up a pet peeve of mine. People using a noun that's naturally a mass noun (izzat what they called?) to refer to a singular member of that group.

I'm so glad that I recognise none of these slang terms.

Hmmm....

> go porch
*You are on the porch. My it's nice out.
> look
*Your porch is of fine pine construction. Over the course of many years you have refined and improved your porch to perfection. There is hand-carved rocking chair on the porch which took you many years to complete. It has the smooth action of a finely-crafted peice of furniture now well broken-in. You look out at your lawn. The lawn is finely manicured and is a perfect shade of green. You see several fruit trees and some neighbouring chidren happily frolicking on the grass.
> sit chair
*I do not recognise that command.
> sit rocking chair
* You ease into the rocking chair and begin to gently set it in motion. It's very relaxing.
> pick up .22
* You pick up the .22 calibre rifle you keep on your porch in case of raccoons, coyotes, or other troublesome vermin.
> aim kids
* You draw a bead on the playing children
> holler

Hello, this is I_M's wife speaking.

I've got very little to add to this discussion other than this:

He just went into the crapper and closed the door. A minute later, he just started cackling loudly for no apparent reason. It's been awhile.

Wait, now he's flushing. Did he lay an egg? I wonder.

Anyway, as you were....uh, draw yiour own conclusions...

Congratulations. You just made a thread started by Classic relevant.

Mongrel · « **Reply #48 on:** October 06, 2008, 05:03:24 PM »

I am so confused now, you have no idea.

Not least of which because my original post was in the MMO etymology thread.

At least this is funny.

I like your wife, Mongrel. That was a delightful post.

She must never be exposed to us. Protect her at all costs.

I still have no clue as to why this was merged into THIS thread.

Is this the new Bullshit thread?

Hey, Jap Cartoon thread is somewhere else, guys.

It's cool, Constantine. We're talking about Piracy, here.

I might have liked the Foxy arc a lot more if people weren't being forced to swear "Royalty" to each other.

A little touchy-fealty about our translation quality?
