Daron - you are retardGd. I've been sitting here all night/morn on aim watching Rambo, busting packs and ripping CD's on my new lappy w/ no one to talk to. Maybe you are afraid of my greatness? ..Maybe you'll get malled by groupies if you sign on.

EDS: - I've been up since 6am yday and still have 1 and 2/3rds boxes left to bust. Time to take some stacker and a red bull and get to it! (See attachment) ...I think I can make it don't you guys?!

Wow DUX, I didn't know that you are the Texas Chainsaw Massacre killer.
That picture is really something scary.
Incidentally, DUX, I would say that your assertion that 'Speed' wins the game of magic and always has is largely trumped by..the game of Magic. Over the course of the history of Magic, it is almost always Control decks that end up being dominant, and speed is not a factor for them. Besides, whenever a deck is too fast, they just deem it unfair and ban something out of it.
Cyan - I guess you are right. Control is the #1 factor in winning games. But if two control decks go head-to-head which will win? My bet would be the quickest.
I got some pretty good stuff from all my packs. Pulled my 5th foil O-ring, those are always welcome! 2x foil Beseech the Queens, foil Enchanted Evening, foil Liege, foil Savor the Moment, foil Dread, foil Boggart Mob. Opened 2x Garuuk, 2x Cryptic Command and my 11th Fulminator Mage. The other night I traded for a foil Timber Protector, foil Sygg, River Guide and a foil Wanderwine Hub. I plan to make a both a Merfolk and a Treefolk deck tonight! So I guess you could say I got some "folk" building to do.
I went to Radio Shack Sat to get an electrical component and came across these dialed-locks. I've been looking for some to secure my card carring cases and they work perfectly. They were on sale, $3.79 for the pair.
No one is looking at my stash unless I allow it. ...Or if they p/u the whole thing and run away...
I thought I'd show you my desk at work ..for some reason. So here is that and some other pics from around the shop.
My desk, which I don't miss..
This is a pic of the paint shop and mixing room.
Here are the lift/alignment rack & paint booth.
This is the body side where vehicles are torn-down and reassembled after paint.
I hadn't noticed Tarmogoyf has reached $45 apiece. That makes it the most expensive Standard-legal rare ever. Messed up. Who would have thought a 6/7 vanilla for could ever be worth that much?
Also, I don't think Beseech the Queen is worth anything at all. I'm selling it for $1 apiece, which for an uncommon, is a very solid price.
Magic gets more expensive all the time. I was just whinging to Cyan what a mixed blessing it is when a powerful Guay card is printed. . . at least I picked up one Bitterblossom before they hit $20 or whatever they're at now @_@
Ria - I want the DL of that Merfolk deck you "feeshed" me with a few months back. I got me a foil ps of LoA that need decking.
Actually, I don't play any Atlantis mans in that deck; they're on the aggro side of feeesh + the one I play is more interested in milling, although it tends to beat down as often as not. Has a few non-Standard things in it, but I'll try to get around to posting it for you (+ the Clan to comment on, if they care to). It's all about the Grimoire Thief
I have a Tarmogoyf still.. I need to either trade, sell, or throw away that thing. Sick of seeing it.
I've been good, how are you guys? I've been very busy with school; two drama assignments, two english assignments and an art piece. Drama draft and one English draft are done, just need to finish off the others and I only have a few tests left after that and I'm done for the term; 3 weeks off! Yay!
Anyone (esp. Diggy) catch the Paul McCartney Anfield gig on the radio? It was epic. Day In The Life segue into Give Peace a Chance. Yoko Ono on stage. So good.
Gotta go finish assignments and stuff, have a good week everyone!
I'll take your Goyf! Idon't have any at all and need 4 for my GW deck!!:D

Sorry jj but i can't trade overseaz, too risky + like $25 shipping D:
B, did you really want it? If you could scope out a record store near you and post some findings of $35/$45 records you think I'd like (i.e smiths, pavement, cure, beatles, bob dylan, television, joy divison) that'd be sweet
In other news, I'm getting a Keyboard soon, + some kind of FX pedal/distortion/flanger/phaser/etc. It will be AWESOME. sikk beatz etc. I might study music production next year if I enjoy it a lot.
Wait WHAT!!! Ponder is restricted! B-B-But, my foily playset I got at R_E.com so long ago...:suckup: I hadn't seen/heard it making such a "splash in the pond." MY MERFOLK DECK IS RUINED!!!
*Runs to Wizards to make sure about something*
*Comes back skipping*
It's okay guys it is only for Vintage. No changes in any other format. "whew..."
So what does everyone think about the Shards Mythic Rare jabble? ..As a collector, I am excited!

Netdecking is piloting Magic.
Homebrew is creating Magic.
Are you a pilot or a creator??
YOu kow...it doesn't really bother me all that much. People are screaming that it's just Wizards trying to make more money but they are just gonna sell more boxes. What ever is made on teh secondary market is where the money is. They are trying to help out the local shop a little by getting something a little harder to come by through normal pack buying standards. This means that places like Star City can raise box prices again. I don't think it's a money scam. I think it's just another twist that will be cool for a little while and go back to the standard. I don't think it will be a huge deal once it comes out. I like that the sets are smaller and the number of cards being release next season will be a WHOLE LOT LESS! Keeping up with the number of cards for my Standard habit is just too expensive. To expand on the Mythis Rare....if there are 3-4 per box, then buying a case should get you at least one of each.....almost 2 in the first set and maybe 3 of each in the expansions.
DUX is a weener....your self portrait pictures are all similar...shirtless with different looking eyes.
Frowns at Charlie.....sending me a card overseas will cost you maybe $2.

$20 a piece?!? Wow! Hey nick, do you still have my pair? Or is it in a box in my trailer somewhere. Or a box in your house I suppose. I really need to keep better track of my cards. At least I know where my playset of goyfs are. Too bad they'll rotate out of type two before I can play competitively with them.
Rememberthese chicks? Happy cute little baby birds that hatched last time I talked to you? Well they're dead. Didn't last six days. Probably didn't last three. The body of one was found squished on a tire tread. The other two probably met the same fate, but I can't prove it. The "slow, chicks at play" signs did nothing, theres been mumbling of closing the northern 10 miles of beach. I'm pushing for the back road to be extended so I can close small sections of beach while folks can still drive to specific areas. We'll see if anything is done. I've two more chicks hatched where they can get ran over. Hopefully they'll last longer than six days.
Oystercatchers in general have been having a hard time. We've had 17 known nests. Of those known nests we have 8 that still exist. Last I talked to you I had six happy chicks. Its been a week and of those chicks there are two left. One thing for certain, they've a hell of a time without us squishing them with our cars.
Other than that....
Damn women, thats what I have to say. Every time they get involved things get complicated and messy. Back at the BLM I got a gal pissy at me and I ended up complaining a whole month about how life became hell. Now I'm nice and cosey on my little island and what happens, women.
Theres a young gal that started working the other day. Fun, very similar hobbies and attitude as me, a bit childish but not too much, and fairly cute. The evening of the second day we worked together several people went to a fish fry and...well lets just say she had a little too much to drink. I ended up with a bit of a moral decision and chose according to my utah upbringing, Much to the heckeling of several guys at the shindig. Now my mind is distracted with what could have been and what can be. Bah, not needed right now. To make matters worse I can't seem to differentiate weather or not I'm having feelings for this girl or if my mind is just clouded by a lusty hunger only a woman can satisfy. It's down right distracting. Afterall, I'm just a guy.
I can tell the girl is embarased about that night. The island is not large and gossip flys faster than a wind blown crown fire. Her job is to talk to everyone that comes off the boat, and its probably made harder with everyone coming off the boat saying. "I heard what happened that night." Hell I've heard enough folks comment to me about it, and I've probably said a thing or two I shouldn't have about what could have happened. Just stupidity, male ego, and male pride probably. She complained about how late the ferries were and commented about transfering to the south island. I assured her that the ferries were usually on time, but I doubt the ferries were even on her mind. Hopefully she can laugh at this later, its not like anything serious happened. If she does transfer to the south Island I'll probably not see her again untill the end where I move off to wherever the jobs take me.
Whatever, I still like her. Not sure what kind of like, but I'll sort that out later. I asked her to go to the movies with me. Now I'm confused. Its Indiana Jones and we both like those movies. Going to the movies is either an event between coworkers, friends, or something more. Honestly I could care less which because I was going to the movies anyway and figure I'd best play it very slow. But I've thought about paying for her, maybe even getting a bite to eat. Now the symbology could mean so many things at this point. But then I did invite her, and it would be rude if I expected her to pay for herself would it not?
Grrrr, I hate when things get complicated. I'm a simple guy with simple goals.

Daggs- Well, good for you for not taking advantage of her! It is good that she is embarassed about drinking too much, shows that it isn't a normal thing for her. If she threw herself at you while she was drinking, even-though she hadn't known you but a day, odd's are she is attracted to you! Sounds like you've got a decision to make, rather you want to or not;
..Go for the or just be friends.
I am torn between the decision to go the same card shop I've gone to the past 5 weeks or go to a new one opening Friday night. It is the biggest and best in the area and they moved from like 45 min away to 10 min away. I feel compeled to go. Since I am still somewhat new to the card shop scene and since they are opening up a new one it kinda seems right. Should I feel bound by 5 weeks of loyalship to this other shop?..

She's fun, cute, and you share interests. If you didn't have feelings for her, you'd be messed up indeed! Take her to the movies, pay for her ticket, and have fun. Learn more about her, make a friend. If she's got a decent past (not a total slvt) and she wants a relationship similar to the one you would want (go somewhat slow, see how you feel, see where it leads) then you're in luck.
At least, that's how I'd do it, but you're not me. Good luck
Negatory. I sent a card for the MTGS card exchange last year = $16 shipping. Truth. Maybe it's $2 from the Us to anywhere else but it cost me $16. And I think it'd be just as much if not more so.
Sounds like you send it insured. They're talking about no-holds-barred-pissin'-into-the-wind style.
I'll have a dig at the locals, see if my LP-Radar is any good anymore; when we lived in Portland, Aurelia + I would spend $100 a week at the record shops. . . nowadays we don't even have a functioning table ;_;

Besides, my parents probably wouldn't like me sending overseas anyway, after the card exchange, mother was like "nevur again11!"
You guys got JB Hi in Adelaide? They have good tables, nice and basic for $90-$100. Last thing I bought was Michael Jackson's "Thriller" 25 anniversary edition.

I'll have a look. Last vinyl I bought was a MC900ft Jesus single, I think it was called "You'll go straight to heaven".
Last vinyl I bought was Vitalogy by Pearl Jam. That was nearly 12 years ago. I got that because it came out 2 weeks before the CD.
I have an old Pioneer direct drive turntable from the mid 1980's. It still works like a charm. Probably needs a new needle.....if I can find one. I love vinyl....I still have a bunch of it in storage. Old punk records. I have a lot of Metallica, Motley Crue, Slayer, Venom, English Dogs, Prince (purple Rain), Kiss, Eagles, and more. My stepdad has about 1200 lps....from the Beatles Master Collection to rolling stones, to ....damn....just about everything pressed between 1959 to 1984.
It's crazy!
