It's eerie in all the right places and so far I'm really enjoying it.

How awesome is this? Wish we'd seen this before March 2008!

The house of Garret now uses 'AMAGAH CRICKETS' to express frustration.

This thread is epic .

Cats can sense danger, hissing and running before something awful happens.

Bullets that are fired at point blank range, often graze shoulders.

Americans hardly ever say 'goodbye' at the end of a phone call. They put the phone down after the conversation has come to an assumed close, and nobody thinks this is rude.

You've been far too generous in my casting Aarty

I totally see the resemblance in the second shot of Frankie.

He'll kick my ass for saying this, (hehe, pun for the win!) but I've always thought Mr Sexy Hat looked a bit like Kick Gurry from Speed Racer - but in his early years.

First time in two consecutive years we'll be gracing free comic book day! Hoorah!

Absolutely "I'm on a boat".

Between Joel breaking out with it on the ferry to the statue of liberty - where every 20 something year old around us broke out laughing.... and showing my parents to celebrate my dads boat - it's given me fond and hilarious memories.

the entire 'winter songs' album by the Hotel Cafe. Very Christmassy.

I didnt even think of that Panch.

That or

At the very least, now that they've seeingly killed off most of the non comic based characters, (with a few stupidly named exceptions TDOG) hopefully S2 will introduce us to the awesome ones....

Seconded Panch.

So im all caught up too. Waiting for #79 to be scanned.... or the balls to buy it...

IamBaytor - After watching 4.5 seasons of Dexter, I feel jipped.

10 minutes of life back now please.

Goddamn it.

I started reading TWD yesterday, and im 5 in.

Comics Spoilers

Great. Now i'm salivating!

Thanks Hondos.

Fucker.

Ugh. So pissed the finale is only another few days away.....

Want a whole other season right now!

(Its only JUST airing from episode 1 in Australia next week by the way.... fucking backwards country)

Me too MH. Im looking forward to meeting

. Have you read alla the books?

I've read the series in its entirety so far - flew through all of the books in just under 2 weeks.

They go in very different directions, and the TV series kind of jumps ahead a bit - but it will be interesting to watch season three. Some of the characters introduced become pretty integral to the plot line.

Love the show, and love who they cast for Sookie though!

Bring on Season 3!

Anyone read #72 yet? fucking insane.

Discuss.

NICHOLAS - Just wanted to let you know that I am no longer all about the felching. I know, I know. Its disappointing given how craftily you changed that when I forgot to log off in November - and it's been a great daily reminder of being with you guys since. But sadly, things change, and I’m not as enamoured with it as I once was. Please help me change it to something less.... disgusting!

Hujookin?

Yup. Totally pronounced it wrong.

I miss you Hakujin.

I don't feel excluded much at all.

Regarding politics, I steer clear mostly because as an Australian, even though I try to stay up to date with your happenings, the fact that your policies don't really effect me doesn't allow me to critisize your government. I could try to engage you guys in political debate from an Australian perspective, but it's pretty much the exact opposite of your political scheme, and really - who of you would care? (We have an opposition leader who is gearing up for an election this year who is likely to be voted in as a result of how the current party handled the GFC. He has vowed to bring back our dark age industrial legislation laws which were universally hated within our country, has not yet released his political policies and operates with a fundamentalist religious agenda that terrifies me........ still with me? didnt think so!)

Something that really frustrates me here on hondos tends to hapen alot. People who join and come at an established community like that over zealous new girl in high school who wants to exchange bff bracelets and organise a sleep over right the fuck away. My advice to newbies would be to take a breather, suss Hondos out, and make your mark gradually - or hook up with one of the founding members! haha - worked for me!. Dont try too hard too soon. One girl comes to mind - she tried to win us over immediately with her out-of-this-world and loudly announced vanity. She looked like an awesome person, and on reflection maybe got some harsh treatment, but her narcisistic approach put almost everyone with a vagina here right off. Don't do that newbies. Be gentle. The girls here can be rough if ruffled. Be nice and they're amazingly lovely.

Even if I haven't posted much, I've always kept up to date with Hondo's. For the most part, I check in a few times each week - I only post if I have something to contribute, or if im in a fun and upbeat mood. Or if i'm feeling like a right bitch that wants to take a swing at something soft. If you feel like its cliquey, i'm sorry. People like MH and Arty are like loveable walmart greeters here - they welcome you and point you in the direction of anything you might need. Other people like a bit of friction to keep this place active, dont take offence, and if you feel left out, try to meet as many Hondonians as you can in real life - it's an awesome experience, and I'm lucky to have met some absolutely amazing people through Hondo's that I truly consider friends. It's still an awesome thought to know that theres plenty more on my to meet list...
