In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like. Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
I was going to post some "serious" news, but little seemed overly conducive to a festive season, and I've having some network issues anyway, so I shall quietly ignore it, call it a little present for myself, but you folk go ahead if you want to.
Oh, late addition though, it's now 20 years since The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring was released, and
mega-Tolkein fan Stpehen Colbert wanted to celebrate that... and boy DID HE?!?To those who celebrate the Winter Solstice and/or Christmas, seasons greetings!
To those who celebrate neither, have an equally pleasant weekend.
To those who can't get to see their relatives despite wanting to, our sympathies, and know you have family here.
To those who are going to HAVE to see their relatives despite NOT wanting to, our sympathies, and know you have family here.
