Surprised no ones thought of Chinese Water Torture.  Only instead of water you use chocolate.

We still gotta melt it down first.   :P
Well believe me, Mike, I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid... and I went ahead anyway.

You've seen it!  You can't unsee it!

Hee, nope.  It's Marseille.  Soooo muuuuch yuuuuum.

*twitch* How do you read that menu without having proofreader seizures? GAH!

(...that being said, looks good. If you or Sue can remember the place in Manhattan that does the honest-to-god croque-monsieur, though, we may strongarm you into hitting that place instead. That and real pommes frites *drool*.)

Because none of my coworkers can spell or use proper grammar.  I've become immune to its deleterious effects.

And ooh, another dessert possibility is Max Brenner.  Om nom.

Dude. I'm not a chocoholic. I'm not even the possessor of much of a sweet tooth. I'm still going to punch you for showing me that menu - it's hard to work at a keyboard when you're drooling quarts.

I have to bounce it off Sue, but I suspect it's purely pro forma - she selects her entrees et al based on the dessert she's getting. :D After that, it's picking day and time, etc. Lemme know when you're not going to be drowned by your employer.

Gonna make a valiant attempt at getting the thread back on topic.  (Though I concede it might well be hopeless ;D.)

Did Mr. Butcher make any public statements about Backup, Day Off, The Warrior(? The one from Mean Streets), or Turn Coat?  What about any bits about original Comic Book stories? 

I did say public statements.  Please, oh please, no NDA stuff that you can only mercilessly tease us with.  I'm lookin' at you Shecky and Priscellie.

Turn Coat:

We basically got the same blurb that's been shared with the tour. 
(click to show/hide)

I have to add- The room that Jim's panel was in is huge.  It easily seats 2,000 people.  It was packed to the brim, though that might have something to do with it being followed by the panel for 24 and a showing of Avatar.  Still- it was a HUGE audience to entertain.

Cool.  Thanks.  I remembered what he was supposed to have said on tour. (I say supposed to because I did not hear it myself.)

I would say damn, damn, damn, have to wait until next April for more answers, but come October and January we may get a few.

More Jim pictures!  (resized for ease of loading)








And another pic of Priscellie with a Harry clone.



The cast of Doctor Horrible:


A mythbuster!



I have more pictures, but I don't want to overload the thread or the site with pictures!
