    😀

    Yep! I really do enjoy picking up my comic books in the shop. Sometimes we start up on general conversation regarding various plot points or even some of the social groups I try to organize. 🙂

    Sorry! Meant Action Comics. The login session had reset while I was typing it up so I had to rush and type it back in as close as I could remember the words. Seems I forgot to finish the title 😛

    Batman 900/135 was a lot of fun! Not much plot but it was a delightful romp through Batman history with The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, and even Adam West making appearances and more!

    Looks interesting, will add it to the list! 2015 would be recent for most of the stuff I watch. I’m a big fan of the 80s for some reason. 😛

    Got Alan Partridge on the watchlist! May sneak in a viewing today or the weekend!

    Been reading the Potter books again and they differ from the films in some important ways. For instance, in the fourth story during the first task, the film has Harry avoiding magic as he’s feeling self-conscious about how he doesn’t belong in the tournament. In the book, however, he doesn’t really care and just starts right off by summoning the broom. The distinction is important as it greatly changes his characterization!

    It’s not a theme problem (switched to a different theme and no luck) and the bbPress docs aren’t much help. They say that the advanced post editor should be in both the dashboard and the forums but they may have been written for an older version of WordPress :/

    Got it on the porch! 😀 I do need to clean it up a bit. It got a bit muddy while being moved on account of the weather 😛

    It only shot them about a foot but we did have fun chasing them down the hill. Blowing bubbles is an idea! One thought I was playing with was a small audio recording and having it go bang periodically but that may not go over all that well 😛

    Vintage ads can be fun! My dad used to record a lot of stuff in the 80s and it was quite fun to see what they were advertising decades later. Lots of M&M ads around the holidays! 😛

    Have you thought about a print subscription? They are able to fulfill international subscriptions but do charge a slight premium. It worked pretty well for me with Batman even though the issues got a bit banged up at times during shipping. Only reason I cancelled the subscription and went local was due to them having trouble filling the subscriptions during the pandemic but I was still able to get them at the local shop without issue.

    I may drop Action for Power Girl but we shall see!

    I now have a cannon: https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/building-garden/garden-ornaments/decorative-cast-iron-cannon-from-england/id-f_21567422/ 😀

    My grandfather used to shoot tennis balls out of it using a fire cracker 😛

    I really miss ads on TV for book releases. I found them quite handy! Now they’re playing ads for pop music albums instead 🙁

    Ooh, Power Girl is getting a solo comic book series in September. Could be fun!

    Sorry! Missed this!

    Don’t have any relics over here but my mom has an ancient typewriter she picked up somewhere just cause she thought it was cool. It currently lives in her shed 😛

    Done some looking and it looks like bbPress has that feature after all, just not from the editor in the forum view. The preview feature is in the admin center under the topics area, along with a more advanced editor. I didn’t see a plugin or setting to bring these features to the main area here, though, but there may be a tweak mentioned in the docs. Will look!
