Hey, are those hand-crafted by anybody special? Or is it just like whoever is around when the order comes in?

Oops! I just figured everyone would know, but how would they?

The figures are made by none other than Mr. Chris Yates of Reprographics fame.

Thanks Boorishly! What would we do without you?

I have a piece of paper that says I spent 4 years of my life making things and now am an Expert Thing-Maker. I also live in a pretty house.

I think you're going to get pretty tired of cutting all these guys out after a while!

Oh, all I do is cut out squiggly, precise things in my studio. If I can make a handful of these every week, the Action Squad is no problem...

Good point.

Man...

I must say I covet these. Unfortunately, Paypal is not my friend (it seems to have some credit card requirement), so I shall simply continue to wish and dream.

These are made to order, right? You might want to put a note in there saying that it could take a bit. Or maybe I know nothing!

I will buy some as soon as I get paid again.

I get paid on Thursday night!

We're thinking it will take 2-3 weeks. I should put that up there, huh?

We're letting it all play out, like two stone b-boys chillin' on the stoop.

While you're making changes, you might want to correct the spelling of "euphemism."

Everyone makes typos, Steve.

Except for me. I can compose a flawless e-mail after six shots of vodka, no problem.

Er. Orthographically flawless, that is.

170, you may wish to speak with the Commander. He may allow for other low-tech forms of payment in your special, magic case.

Beth, the Commander is correct. It will most likely take 2-3 weeks. But in your special, magic case, it may be sooner.

Steve, you told me yourself that if you stayed up all night fixing the store, something would be spelled wrong.

All right, should be good now. But this I vow -

I'll never write again!

Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2005 7:19 pm

I bet I can make you break that promise!

ALSO TYPING IS INCLUDED

You're on!

CURSES!

My secret is that I call Steve in the evenings when he's working on his comics, and then he makes typos, and then I look good in comparison!

THE WORKERS WOULD THROW THEIR BOOTS, CALLED "SABOTS" INTO THE MACHINERY

HENCE, "SABOTAGE"

He dropped his pencil when I was talking to him. He got FLUSTERED and could not regain his TRAIN OF THOUGHT.

Alright, that does it. I'm going off to build Beth a temple or something.

Also: I seriously need to save up $50. These things are friggin awesome.

T-Thanks?

Don't make it too nice. I don't want Juno to come after me out of jealousy.

A friend of mine named her dog Juno, it was pretty hilarious.

Apparently if you make "No" part of a dog's name, it'll kinda screw things up and the dog will think it's always doing something wrong.

The name was changed shortly after, but the dog never regained her confidence.

It might be a good idea to put a link from the page with the action figures to the store, so people going through the archives could come to that page, then click on the link and see that they can buy thier own super action squad figures and be like "OH MY GOD THAT'S SO AWESOME" and order some.

I know two GIANT ridgebacks called Juno and Boudecia. Boudecia always has her name shortened to "Boo", so she's lost a lot of her fearsomeness.

Don't worry; my building skills aren't very good.

A Lego temple would be pretty sweet.
