I went to visit my local comic shop today, just to see if they had anything new for me. I was only there for a few moments when I heard someone say "Seriously, Lobo would so beat Cthulhu in a fight."
I knew then that it was time to leave, but my head twisted round - choppily, as if on a gear - to see who'd said it. He was in his early 40's, balding and wearing a black leather jacket with "Bite Me Fanboy" enamelled onto the back. In other words, he had a copy of Lobo's jacket.
I knew then that it was time to leave. As I bolted for the door, a conversation - no, a serious debate sprang up behind me.
There are depths of fanboyish geekiness to which no one should ever sink...

That's ridiculous! Lobo would get his biker butt kicked by Cthulu. Jeepers! Lobo has to come to Earth get a freakin' hog. How is he going to take on Lovecraft's tentacly essence of Chaos and insanity.
If Lobo could beat that, then my 1st level fighter could kick the tarnation out of the Tarrasque.
There's a reason why Lobo is the featured villian in a roleplaying game. Can you imagine waking up and being forced to make a "Lobo" check? I think not!
Idiot basement-dwelling fanboy....

I don't get it. Why would a guy who idolizes the sherriff from The Dukes of Hazzard hang out in a comic shop?

I was just thinking about comic books this morning on my way home from work. And how glad I am that I've shaken the urge off to go get some. Dunno why, just for the best, I think.
Of course, I'm seriously thinking about diving off the deep end and right into the clutches of Warcraft. But, that's just so that I can talk to Alex more since he and his dad play pretty often.
In other news... Only $304 for a round-trip ticket. Not bad, huh...? ;)

Marc - You're absolutely right. Which still doesn't mean people should discuss stuff like that. :)
Eric - The sherrif in Dukes of Hazzard was named Rosco. What reference are you making that I'm oblivious to?
Jon - not bad at all. :)

I caught that one on YouTube a month or so back; I don't think I'd ever seen it when I was young.
It was pretty neat; very referential.
