Indeed, a pair of fine gentlemen known as Jack and Johnnie.
Lt. Col. Frank Slade: Clear them little bottles off. And when I get off the phone here, call up Hyman and tell him I want it wall to wall with John Daniels.
Charlie Simms: Don't you mean Jack Daniels?
Lt. Col. Frank Slade: He may be Jack to you son, but when you've known him as long as I have... that's a joke.
Is Jack and Jimmy a thing I'm unaware of? At any rate, seems like any Chinese restaurant I go to, Johnnie Walker is prominently displayed at the bar.
"Hey do you have this comic I want?"
"Let me check-OHP no we have every other volume besides the one you want."
"Damn, maybe they have something else I wanted."
REPEAT
That is pretty much every comic book outing I have ever had including today. C'est la vie.

I had this experience today.
Wanted to buy the third volume of fables. They had it last week when I bought vol. 2...but now it is suddenly gone. Every other volume is there.
Bastards.
That is too eerie, Fables was the main series I wanted to buy today! That and Hellboy, I can almost never find the next volume.
And yes, the every other volume scenario. It just...TAUNTS you with its incompletitude knowing the one fragment is the one you need.
Yeah... most comic places will let you make a drop box for certain titles. If you have stuff you want every time it comes out, ask the guy running the place about doing this.
Yes, it is, I've been doing a lot of paint stripping at my in-laws new house, and I gotta tell ya, it's a pain in the ass... uhm, that's not the stripping you're talking about at all...

Haev I already complained about my work hours? I have already complained about my work hours.
I'm under contract for 145 hours this month. I was planned 180.5 hours. That's 35 hours...And since I already have over 65 hours in overtime (end of this month I'll be at 235), these aren't paid - at all (yes, all 235 of those). I can recuperate them whenever it's convenient though...except my manager refuses to let me, each and every time I've asked.
Today was the only day of this month where I could sleep longer than 9am, through a combination of early morning fysiotherapy, plumbers e.a. passing my place, garage appointments, family stuff, and, of course, work. The ONLY day. Guess where I am right now. Come on, guess. In my lounge chair with a nice breakfast and my girlfriend? Or, possibly, grumpily at work covering for someone else's mistake? Brings my overtime to 245 hours and my worked hours this month to 189...*sigh*

You know that your employer is legally obligated to pay you for ALL of your overtime, right? (if you live in the US anyway). You need to file a wage claim with your Division of Labor standards.

This is the rant thread, so I'll refrain from my first impulse and just say, man, that sucks.
Darn tootin' it ain't!
I mean, if you have better advance idea of the demand in your store, then you have a better guess as to what to order, and that means you don't have as much leftover stock. See, when you have leftover stock, and you have to cut off the front cover and send it back for credit, that's a process called "stripping."

But that only works for "newsstand" distribution, which is dead as far as comic books are concerned. Direct market has completely taken over for comic distribution, and now there is only one game to be had for that, and it's Diamond. I really miss Capital City.
...and pulls are therefore better than this, are they not?
(Just say yes. It's much more fun when you say, "Yes.")

I like it, but then I have the same irrational enjoyment of Nicki Minaj that @Charlie Don't Surf has for Taylor Swift.

Jeez, that video is repulsive. Screw decades of fighting against objectification, huh?
I like trash hip-hop. And big butts.

She almost literally wields her sexuality like a cudgel.
that's kind of uncalled for

Unless she's a cop, then you can say anything you want without thinking about the person on the other end. So do women cops confuse you? Do you hate them for their uniform but white knight all over them for their vagina?
