Because of Hot Toys' rather, ahem, whimsically extended timeline for releasing their sixth-scale Avengers figures, I went completely mad and pre-ordered Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Captain America from Sideshow Collectibles, in addition to the Loki figure I ordered back in May.

Sharon Lee rolanni just mentioned an important resolution being put forth at Chicago WorldCon, to wit: that Yngvi is not a louse.

Oh, my, that jarred a few memories loose. I haven't read L. Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt's Harold Shea stories is a looooooooong time, but I remember them fondly. So I hunted around the house, and came up with The Compleat ( Read more... )
