That is SO FUNNY! You keep trying to make this personal, Rick, as if anyone gave a crap about you at all other than to recover the funds for the people you've cheated. Pay up, and you can go right back to being a talentless nobody that no one cares about in the least. PAY THE PEOPLE YOU OWE.

What is really funny is how hard all these readers of Heidi's actually look to be the same people living out their fetish fantasies with me. lol H.R.'s remarks are funny though.. No, actually the 2007 MMC is private and everyone attending will be treated to an entire weekend at <i>a</i> water theme park, some camping (if that is their choice over a hotel room) and some nice activities that (obviously) a bunch of you couldn't appreciate. Heidi, don't ever throw those lime green panties away, sweety! Koben, I'm pretty sure you're one of the secret members of the Ronee club, right? Keep that head shaved and goatee, you sexy devil! "Gail" I had a cousin that had a bitch that crotch sniffed like you do. She, unlike you, was able to stay away from the donuts. Keep enjoying that decent ride in Wonder Woman's invisible jet! R. Hey!

I know its wrong to visualize this image and all. But from what Rick Olney is attempting with a camping Con the sillest damn thing pops into my mind. I'm sure those who are supposed to eat on Olney's dime will be handed a fishing pole and told they have to catch their own eats. :) Whats silly is the image of a bunch of retailers outside in the cold woods with a bunch of comics and longboxes …and a Bear attacks.

WHIZZ-BANG (note the two z's and the hyphen) is the thing that Rick has set up, with God knows who. Whizbang is a successful retailer in Florida that wants everyone to know that they have nothing to do with Rick Olney, Orca, or Tightlip Entertainment. So Whizz-Bang in Upstate NY = Bad. Whizbang in Florida = Good. And if you want any of those awful thingies he posted. Contact Matt. He has them all PDF'd. And yes, I am still waiting on my reperations check. It should be interesting to see how long I can hold my breath. Paul Smith beat me too it.
