Yeah, I get that - but reef sharks have been known to bite as well. I'm not saying be fearful of it, but if you're tossing blood and meat into a tiger pit, would you stick your kid in there with the tiger?

Not strange dogs.. I like to know the temperament of any animal before hand, but because I was attacked by a dog when I twelve I tend to not trust dogs I don't know. I got knocked off my Schwinn on the street and pinned under it while the neighbor dragged his 'friendly' German Shepard off of it... so I tend to be…

This is like the guy from Brooklyn in Yosemite who my sister witnessed encouraging his five year to go stand next to the brown bear in the park. Took her, a couple of others tourists and a park ranger to get the guy to realize it was not a safe thing to do.

I'm a big soundtrack fan... mainly because the music is such an escape for me.

It was awful on Kotaku, and then I referred to a widget in Chrome that specifically BLOCKED all comments just from that single site. Made it far more peaceful and I could read the articles without wanting to kill someone.

Uh.. You forgot Commander Jane Shepard, the Warden from Dragon Age or even Marion Hawke..

Yeah. Trick is to get it as soon as they list them as available. Used to be we'd book them right as we were leaving, but it got a bit harder.

It is, and you have heard correctly!

Exactly. I live in the boonies, have satellite internet and if there's a cloud/rain/two birds flying by, I can count on being dropped and maybe reconnecting in 20 minutes. We've only got 3 options for internet providers and none are them are cable or high speed like I had in San Francisco.

Personally, I've been a Dragon Con fan for the past decade.. despite it getting bigger, it's still a fun time.

Gives you a real sort of yearning, doesn't it? I totally understand that. There's just a pull of the stars, to see what's out there, beyond our own world. Hell, to quote that ever famous Captain - 'to explore strange, new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.'

I second this.

Yes, yes they are. ;)

Really? Nothing's better than a cute guy butt, honestly. Rowr.

Exactly. If you liked it the way it was.. kudos. If you didn't, then you download the Extended Cut.

@collex I don't read much, or any, DC at all. Didn't want to blanket them with something I had no personal knowledge of!

You're welcome - Marvel is a bit infamous for retconning.

Retroactive Continuity.. it happens in comics frequently. Takes the previous established canon, and erases parts or the entire history to start fresh, or to make a story work.

Yeah, same here. ALOE PLANT, not aloe stuff in bottle. Much better.
