I guess Kevin's just going to pretend whatever happened today didn't really happen. :D

(Kinda fits with the way he also ignores unfavorable reviews and such, no? ;) )

KJA has posted something called "The San Diego Comic Con Blur (part 1)" to his blahg. (Shit ... that means there'll be a part 2, too. Usually. :P )

And WE GOT PIX!!! :angry-screaming:

The man hisself, looking well-oiled (or at least, oilish), holding a sample:

Image

Original caption: "Which way to the restroom?"

Oh, sorry, no that's the next pic. This one was: "It's not ready yet."

And this one is simply delightful:

Image

Original caption: "This one's WAY past ready ... stick a fork in it!"

(Could probably use a good fork ... knowharramean? 8-) )

So what do you think, is the message "no pix, it didn't happen" is getting through? ;)

Yeah, looks like a great time. I can practically feel the elation drained from my synapses as I look upon those pictures. What a hoot! :wink: :P

Probably too warm in San Diego. Nice shirt, though.

I have to chuckle every time I see the Terrible Incontinence book in trade PB. I hope it burn Keith up every time he sees it.

And currently taking on water at #55,000 at Amazon. Looks like TheKeith is just going to miss being about to crow about his "best-seller" status on this one ... :lol:

(Seriously, that book has done fuck-all, especially considering its fairly heavy marketing. When will publishers stop handing this clown contracts?)

Even though this is the book he's "wanted to write for years", I can't help think that it's really more about him getting to include "lyricist" on his resumé, and getting to be a Cool Music Person, hanging with other CMPs on The Rawswill Sicks. ;)

I read a bit of The Edge of the World in a books tore the other day. I just opened the book at random and started reading halfway down the page.

A woman stood on the deck of a ship, remembering the details of how someone she cared about had been attacked or had died or something. The prose was overwrought, and the events had clearly occurred a chapter or two before.

Open the book at random and you get a recap? That's all I need to know.

Edited to add: looking at the Amazon page for Edge of the World, it appears the special forces have started playing their games. 4- and 5-star reviews with the kind of gushing praise that's just an embarrassment to all.

nice photos- still pudgy & pastey - Keith's in his mid-40s, right ?

I'm 62, drink like a fish, still smoke a pack or two of Winstons a day,
and I'm in much better shape than he is ...

of course, I work for a living ....

Damn, I am jealous. I quit smoking 7 months ago and I pretty much hate the whole fucking world now.

Still drink like a fish though!

Kevin's about a year younger than I am, so he's 47.

I haven't smoked since Feb/Mar of last year ... what, about a year and a half now? :dance:

(Would love to have one, but won't. ;) The last pack I opened is still sitting over there on the table, half full. I really am a masochist, ain't I? :shock: )

2 years and a bit quit for me now. I still smoke sometimes when I'm out of town.

After a year it gets easier.

Smoked for about a year when I was very, very young. Never really got hooked properly, but I still get a craving when I smell that first whiff of igniting tobacco when someone lights up.

Smoking gives a wise man time to think and a fool something to shove in his mouth.

I'd like to try to quit soon. I have stashed a closet full of nicotine gum, lozenges and patches for whenever my balls get big enough. Maybe once all the kids are in school, take a week off and strap myself to the bed with an IVmorphine drip .

i smoked for years. It took years to quit because I kept going back. I think I smoked less than an entire pack in the last five years or so.

I was kind of like HBJ, smoked some when I was younger, (highschool) but luckily enough never really got hooked good. I gave it up when I lost a foot race to my brother. (I thought he was going to kill me when I handed him my pack and said I quit) I figured if it was already effecting my breathing like that, that I best quit before I did get hooked on them. I slipped once about 6 years later and smoked one cig. Havn't touched them since.

Trying to convince my brohter-n-law and his fiance (plus a dear friend of mine) to quit but of course that won't happen until THEY are ready to. I think it will be harder for him. He's 39 and been smoking since highschool and she's 20 but I'm not for sure how long she's been smoking. I would guess she smokes about a pack a day (some times more, sometimes less)

Can't stand the smell of cigerretts anymore but I admit I still love the smell of a good pipe. And no, I never smoked a pipe myself.

I promised one of my friends that if he would quit smoking, I'd learn to speak Spanish (he's from El Salvador). That was three years ago and I haven't learned anything beyond "cabrón", which I use to refer to his smoking hide in anything but it's original context :)

Never smoked anything, ever. My parents both smoked like their hair was on fire (although my dad quit, to his credit), and I think I just decided to never go down that road.

Good for you Duke. :clap: I'm sure they are more like you who have never even started. I hope my sons will be among those.
