Heh.. well (I said it before and I'll say it again), you can blame the
lack of talk here on the lure of the forums. I guess after they lay it
all out there, they don't feel like repeating themsleves here. :/

Good point.. why is that? If people see that I like LotR and the
occasional mech, it's cool. But if they see my TMNT figure, it's a
time for justification! Though, I thought it was amusing when a couple
of my Xerox managers started this small chitchat of the humor in
SpongeBob Squarepants and a couple other wierd kiddie progammings they
were watching with their kids. (all started after seeing my Medabee
figurine on my DocuTech) Hubby on the other hand... merph, it's all
geeky stuff to him. :P

I agree! Even though they said it was trying to be like the comics
mostly, I still picked up on nuances from the movies and the cartoon.

Oh yes, yes. Since they are not following the comics to the T, I can't
wait to see how it will be percieved. Though, it makes you wonder fi
they will also do a Mikey micro. Or if it will be held during the
winter. Doesn't seem like it will. Unless that's sechedules to
happened toward the end of the run.

Yes.. we have to wait. And the next comic will not be out til April.
Rrr... I also agree, it is a major tease how Laird just carefully slips
out a bit of info each time, sloooooowly making new plots be known to
us. ;p
Oh well,, that's when I pick up on other fandoms to pacify myself.
