Shane on Lost

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011

Shane George, Alabama native and friend to Let’s Be Friends Again, checks in with a look at comics and one of his favorite TV shows.

Ba da ba ba BAAA SHANE”S LOVIN IT>……

COMICS THAT IS!!!!!!!!

HEY YALL Shaneyy george here, let’s talk about evrybodys favorite tv show and how you can think about ita nd comic books a t the same time….

r u prepared……

to get…….

~~~~~ LOST ~~

so yeh the tv show invented by jayjay abrams has been the big talk of the town this last weeks thanks to the library finally getting in LSOT SEASON 3…

SPOLERIS FOR LOST SEASON # follow BE CRAEFUL DON”T SAY SHANE DIDNT GIVE YA A GOOD WARNING ;::)

“im gonna spoil lost for u jerry”

so yeh everybody pretty much been watching lost season 3 around here and nobodys can believe how sad teh ending is when charlie SPOIELR dies SPOIELR.

~RIP merry or pippin RIP~

SO there are TONS of comic book references in lost… just to name one the little kid is reading GREEN LANTERN in the first season. so that makes me think a lil bit…. they want us to think about GREEN lANTERn while we watch this show..

so… here’s al ittle shane george theory. striahgt outta compton, if u will.

the island… iS MOGOS

dang

did u here that sound

of ur mind
blowing

now i know what ur saying… “SHANE… COME ONE SHANE…. SHANE…..SHANE……. SHANE………………….THATS TOO OBVIOUS”

and yes i know it is obvious but sometimes here in SCHOOL teacher shane gotta give a lesson and the lesson is TEH ISLAND is mOGO or maybe krakoa i also think it might be krakoa

THINK ABOUT IT: mogo is a space policeman and all of the people on lost commited a crime (most of them at least, i think, my grandma wont let me watch the sayid or sun or jin episodes b/c she told me people who arent white or black dont have souls, that is pretty good for her since she just started believing black people had souls like two years ago when she really got into tyler perrys)

so there is also kate who is a fugitive from INTERPOL i think and she killed a horse. so who better to track her down than MOGOs and u know that little fly green lantern is there all BZZZ BZZZZ let me check on teh others o snap what r they up to gotta regulate on them in disguise as the SMOKE MONSTER!!!!!!!! BZZZ BZZZZ

yeh spoiler alert that the smoke monster is a fly u were warned

“sry mr eko, u kno its all in the game”

ok pls dont tell me how lost ends in the comments; cousin beanie already told me that hurley is jesus at the end of the show and if that is tru i cannot watch it with my grandma anymore b/c she already thinks i am going to hell b/c i hung up the page from x-men where psilocke is in the waterfall but i think i saw her look at a mans penis on dancing with the stars so i will always have the ace in the hole against her

SO what else we got to talk about in comics this week.

oh i got a new venom hat after the other one got pesticide on it and i couldnt put i t on my head b/c my dad died in that pesticides acident and grandma told me georges have a weak pesiticides gene (is this tru?) so it would def. kill me.

SHANE GEORGE doestt want to die. and u kno what?? if i do die i’m gonna be like deadman all possession ur bodies through the internet like

U: hey let me type in my favorite shane george web materials into google to find him
GHOST ME: ooOOH THANK u for logging on to my web portal let me take control of ur body i have to take a movie back to redbox thank uuuUUUU i do not want my credit card gettin charged up like crazy
U: dang i feel a urge to go to redbox for some reason even though i already saw scoprion king three times this week
GHOST ME: SCORPION KING is weak as heck wth is wrong w/ u

dead me would not watjch this

Thanks, Shane. We’ll see you again next week!

Emerald City Wrap Up

Monday, March 7th, 2011

Welcome back to Memphis, me! We all just got back in from Seattle an hour or so ago, and it’s sure nice to be back in my neighborhood where the dog barks are comforting and the noise of the rattling trains never ceases.

We had an amazing weekend at our first con as LBFA Inc! Eugene sold all of his CD’s with a few hours to spare on Sunday, and Chris and I sold our last book with maybe thirty minutes to go at the show.

The highlight of the show, and I speak only for myself, was seeing Eugene perform at Krackle Fest on Saturday night. James Marsters, the dude of Spike from Buffy fame, opened up for him, or, well, not so much opened up for him as performed directly before him, and left the stage, taking tens of aged 50+ female fans with him.

Eugene took the stage with Niles, aka Tribe One, shit did I get that right, or is it Tribe Won? fuck, I don’t know, anyway, Niles owns and together the pair destroyed the husks of any of the older women who had stuck around from the James Marsters show. Literally, they killed all people over the age of 50 with their show, it was sort of like Logan’s Run, all the old people’s jewels started glowing and shit and then all the moisture inside them evaporated and they were all dead. Except for this one old guy who was teetering around and must’ve been 90, saying shit like “When does the real music start?!” and putting his fingers in his ears. That guy really existed and he was sort of awesome even though he kept bagging on Eugene’s stuff. Hatred was the only thing that filled his shell. And the colostomy bag, I guess.

H2Awesome and Kirby Krackle swept up the remains of the olds, and proceeded to give a glorious music tribute to the act that came before them. But, seriously, they killed it and made the night a great one. I didn’t get to meet anybody in H2Awesome, but Kyle and Jim from KK were really good.

Thanks again to everyone who came by our booth and checked our stuff out, and a little extra thanks, like maybe 1.5 thanks to the people who bought something from us. I can only tell you we honestly appreciated everybody who spent money on things we’ve done. Or, even just saying, “I like your stuff.” that was cool to hear, even if there was no financial transaction. We were blown away.

If you didn’t notice, there was no new comic Friday, and no new one today. We’d tried to plan on doing something at the show for Friday, but fate conspired against us and we weren’t able to do anything. We’ll be back with a strip on Wednesday, as Chris is battling terrible illnesses right now. Until then, maybe look at the archives. Luke, our hard-working new intern has been going through and tagging everything, so hopefully it’ll be a bit easier to find what you’re looking for.

And we’ll have all the leftover merch from Emerald City up on the site this week. You’ll know when that happens because we will desperately ask you for more money.

Next up for us is C2E2 in Chicago, March 18-20. Come see us, say hi, etc.!

C2E2 Wrap-Up by Shane George

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

Hey everyone, Curt here. We just got back from Chicago and are pretty exhausted, so I decided to let our resident Alabama Fan-Boy Shane George sum up his experience at the con. I must say, he was a pleasure to drive with, although we didn’t see him much once we got to the actual show. Take it away, Shane.
