Oh, no offense taken - and I shouldn't have given the impression I had to nag grandma into taking me. I think it was more a function of my parents having seen it and not feeling the need to see it again - silly people!
I am duly impressed you saw it 100+ times! I don't think movies stick around in theaters long enough anymore for folks to do that.
@Bibliomike, @WetRats, I was 11 when SW premiered in Switzerland - I remember using up my theater subscription (yes we had those). So I 'm 100% sure that I saw SW 10 times at the theater back in 1977 (or maybe it was '78, since Switzerland was behind....)
Hey everyone DAR here, but otherwise known as Damon. I started listening right around the time The Dark Knight was released and have been a fan ever since.
Two truths and one lie or one lie and two truths.
I've never been to California I was once champion during Teen Week on Jeopardy I didn't start reading comics until the mid 2000's
What the hell here is another round of 2 truths and a lie from me.
1.I own a Betamax VCR my parents bought back in 1978 and it still works. 2.I never learned how to ride a bike,but I can ride a motorcycle. 3.I have never seen any of the Godfather films.
Hi I'm Nick, turtleboy8 on the old forums. I've been listening since 2008 and still can't get enough Murd. My two truths and a lie:
-I dated a girl who has appeared in Playboy multiple times -I dated a girl who was a porn star (different from girl listed above) -Met the fifth richest man in the world(in 2009)

I'm Geoff. Been collecting (primarily Marvel) comics for 26 years. Big X-book fan, especially New Mutants. Regular monthly pull list at my LCS (Orbital Comics in London) is 47 titles long so have a bit of a backlog for reading.
Started buying DC about 4 months before re-launch. :/ Was going to jump-off at re-launch but being an addict, now have 15 DC titles on my pull-list. Lol.
Slowly getting into digital comics but they'll never replace paper in my eyes.
- ended a relationship over my other-half's lack of understanding and appreciation of comics
- spent 23 years tracking a Marvel UK comic that my mum gave away to someone thereby meaning my set was incomplete
- Thought Fear Itself was the greatest universe-altering event ever with its ramifications blasting through the 616-Universe irreversibly and eternally.
Hello! My name's Chris. I've been a fan of the show for a while, but I didn't really listen to every episode until I got an iPod with a lot of gigs (I know, my reasoning doesn't make much sense).
1. I worked at Golden Eagle Comics in Reading, Pa. 2. I was once involved in a small backyard wrestling organization when I was twelve. 3. I met Steve Martin and got him to sign my cheese omelet.
My name is Adam,i live in Scotland,i'm 36 there is a story behind the vampiresheep (but probably not a very interesting one) stoppe reading comics about 15 years ago but started again when i found my old collection at my mothers house. 1. I once fell asleep on a train and woke in another country 2. After a night out i fell asleep up a tree fell out and broke my am and collar bone 3.When 15 i accidently set fire to my school

tell me more, you bloodsucking sheep!
1. That happened to me many times (I live near the border to Germany) 2. hmmm...a vampire actually could end up sleeping in a tree..... 3. When 15 I often dreamed of setting the school on fire.
Actually #2 was the lie. The ex's name was Larissa Cox (yes that was her name in high school, she was in Playboy in several College Editions). I work for the largest steel company in the world, and the owner was in Indiana when I first started. Back then he was #5 in the world, but since then has lost about 120 billion of his worth (but still worth a lot).

I say #3, and only because a greek omelet would have been better to sign, the Feta would last longer.
I am new to the Forums but really glad to be on them and connecting with my fellow Comic / CGS fans. My name is Matt and I am a Graphic Designer from and still live in South Carolina.
1. I think Michael Bay is doing a great thing by making TMNT Aliens 2. Batman is my favorite Comic Character and Hex is my second 3. I am a Christian and proud of it
@ArkhamArtistMG : I like having yet another Graphic Designer around here. My son is aiming at becoming one. He starts arts school this summer. I just might contact you for some inside informations ;)

Strangely my last name is also Cox. When I was born mom wanted to name me Harry. Yes Harry Cox,thankfully dad stepped in and I got named Newt instead.
If you're on Facebook, give my Black Umbrella Design page a LIKE if you have one to spare. Take a look at my posts and you'll see a lot of geekdom there.
Since I don't get to hang out in the comic shop anymore (and don't want to since the owner is nuts about politics), CGS is my dose of conversation about comics, and I appreciate that greatly.
1) I once bit into an electrical cord and blew my mouth open 2) I have impersonated a security guard and gone on night patrol 3) I once fell from three stories and landed without injury

That you are avoiding your LCS, because of a nutty owner, is kind of sad AND funny.

hmmm.....whatever is true or false....you seem to think you're a superhero... :P

If #1 is true, which band? Hopefully REM or the Cure!

- I like big butts and I can not lie
- I am Dave from The Geek Savants (the most blowable)
- I totally "dissed" Chris Hardwick's girlfriend
Hmmm as a huge geek savants fan I will have to say the first one is a lie. It is well known you love skinny women that look like twigs.
