I'm searching through my stuff to see if I can find a comic strip
entitled "How to Spot an Asshole". If I find it, it's yours for under
$25 out-the-door. So far no luck, although I think there was a Blondie
strip with that title from the Fifties. (That wacky old Mr. Dithers was
such a cut-up!) I'll let you know.

effect, "if you have to ask how what it costs, you can't afford it."
The guy probably doesn't have a significant other or kids. I've been
on MoPo since late 1996. Before I knew who he was, I was active on
MoPo every day. Fights were routine. He got mad about something and
sent me an out-of-context link to an image of a WWII newspaper comic
strip. I felt it was a juvenile retort for something I wrote that
pissed him off. So I "nonchalantly" asked him about it. He
immediately went into high-gear sales mode. Geez, it was the first
time I got pitched after being insulted. In truth, I am interested in
propaganda items from WWII, but I wouldn't buy from *HIM* because I
never forgot how he turned an insult into a potential sale. And as a
reminder, I always kept the image of the item he threw at me. Now, if
anyone has this for under $25 out-the-door - whose name is NOT
"rodxmorgan" - let me know and I'll buy it from you. -d.

What I wonder is if *ANYONE *in the tiny world of MOPO ever buys even
one Mex LC from Rod, If none of us do, then it is really more a case
of completely wasted effort.

For some reason, all of "rodxmorgan"'s posts go directly to my "Spam

somewhat intelligent slime ball. While holding up Yorick's skull,
he'd be listing as many Shakespeare-related Mexican lobby cards as he
could find. Someday it might me, "Alas, poor "rodxmorgan", we knew him
well.... On second thought, I don't think so...

know, for me it boils down to who's doing the selling. Everyone does
it. I don't see a problem with it because indeed, demand goes up for
items linked to a celebrity who dies. The only seller who rubbed me
the wrong way w/this was "rodxmorgan" - because for years (until I
blocked his e-mails) - he exhibited an "I don't give a shit what
people think" attitude toward others on this board - while
consistently displaying a tasteless style of exploitation akin to a
carnival-barking ambulance chaser. I haven't seen him in my inbox for
awhile, but oh man that guy sounded ancient, like a guy wearing a
straw hat and a flask on his shin, reeking of cigarette smoke,
bragging about his revenue streams while doing his damnedest to keep
you from looking at his tax returns. -d.

Never really seen the problem with this. Invariably this material is
connected to appealing corpses. Though I wouldn't say fresher is
better, nature of business surely, even if it seems indelicate.

I definitely had second thoughts before posting but quite a few people
asked me if I had material on her. I figured the press kits would mean
more to someone than they do to me, so they got posted. Sorry if I
offended you. Someone will be happy though.

Very tacky indeed. I couldn't agree more. She's not even buried yet,
for God's sake. This is right in line with the mexican lobby card
seller who also likes to skip along behind the hearse.
