George Carlin Dies at 71
=\
Well, 71 isn't bad but it's still sad to see a comedic great go.

Occasional Cannot Find Server Error?
Also known as Page Cannot Be Displayed. I was just wondering if anyone else encounters this error when trying to access RMN, on a frequent basis? It's not isolated to my home network either, as I sometimes encounter it at work. This error is a scourge as it prevents me from popping on the forums at leisure!
80's Costume Party!
So I was invited to an 80's Costume Party and I completely forgot until I was reminded tonight/last night that it's this Saturday. I now have the mission of creating/getting a costume within 12 hours.
I have some ideas but I figured it'd be a good topic to see what others come up with! So shoot away your suggestions, and keep in mind that I am male.
Edit: Might as well list the two front-runners I thought of so far:
Don Johnson/Miami Vice- Con is I need to find a pastel suit.
Risky Business- The Cruisers' character ala the classic scene. Just need to buy tighty-whiteys.

Adventures of Mutant-Y 15 Year Anniversary!
2008 marks the 15th anniversary for my first coherent work of art. A short comic series drawn in 2 marble notebooks named: The Adventures of Mutant-Y! Ah yes, I know there are those who may be older than I on this board, but I also find solace in the fact that this comic is nearly as old (or older) than some of the other regulars. As a special treat I've decided to post the first two pages which depict the main antagonists and protagonists of the comic. Keep in mind this is the masterpiece of a 7 to 9 year old me! Click the spoilers to reveal the art!
Yeah I know, I was so freakin' awesome as a kid. Beautifully done, perfect grasp of anatomy, nice use of colors and highly original names! If this topic goes over well I'll see about releasing some of the actual comic!

Robert E. Howard
The following post is a tradition for me to bring up.
Robert E. Howard, the man responsible for the Sword and Sorcery genre, is by far one of my favorite short story writers. For those who don't know of REH, he wrote Conan the Barbarian, Solomon Kane, King Kull, Bran Mak Morn, a bunch of westerns, boxing and detective fiction. If I recall, he wrote about 300 stories and most of them are entertaining as hell IMO.
Now maybe RMN can prove me wrong, but it's been my experience that most people (under the age of 35) who claim to like adventure/fantasy/fiction have no clue who Howard is. Yet, you mention one of Howard's contemporaries, Tolkien, and people are marching down-down to goblin town and the shire! I just find it kinda absurd that nearly all the people I've talked to who've seen the Conan movies (which are great Ahnuld flicks, but TERRIBLE Conan adaptations) didn't even know Conan existed as a series of short stories and novels! I'm not talking about they hadn't read them, they never even HEARD of them. I know it's pretty common for a book based movie to have its roots go unnoticed, but with a pop-culture figure like Conan, one would imagine knowledge of the original craftsman and his stories would also be common knowledge. Maybe I'm the exception, as I was hooked on them at an early age, drawn in at first by Sprague de Camp's reprints with the Frazetta (who kicks ass) cover art from my Dad's collection. As a result, I was pretty much launched into liking RPGs and Hack n' Slashes of the NES gen.
Anyway, as it's probably obvious by now, I'm a big fan of the Howard's work and felt like making a topic to discuss and spread word to other people. If you like action, adventure, enemies being cleaved asunder and sultry women being seduced, I'd highly recommend Conan. Solomon Kane for those who can do without the scantily clad women and would rather prefer a puritan era gun toting, rapier wielding vanquisher of evil.
Hell, I could go on mentioning the impact R.E.H. had on a shitload of the fantasy we all rock today, but I think I've ranted for long enough.
GO!
