i had another story about a guy who lived in another guy's attic (and snuck down occasionally to steal food). he even rigged the wires so he could make phone calls from up there. anyways, i couldn't find it on the web. i'll share if i see it later
This is stupid, how come someone has to be punished for being creative??
On a similar note, a few years ago, a high school student was expelled for a week, just because he did a comic called "Algebraman", wich was a parody of his math teacher.
But among the characters (All of them based off his classmates), there was this "Godboy" (based on a religious kid), and that's why he was expelled (Suposedly for offending this kid)...
Stupid schools...

The rights of children in schools are roughly analogous to those of convicted criminals in jail. In the public school system in the United States, there are no such things as privacy, due process, personal property, right to confront your accuser, etc.
Yeah, that seems about right. Back in my high school, they said that when you enter their doors that it is no longer a democracy and that any rights you think you had aren't there because you are playing by their rules because it is their institution. They claimed that in order to protect us and themselves, they could give themselves whatever rules they wanted, since they knew how to cover their own asses and we kids didn't know anything and were just punks. Ah, but I did have fun always rebelling and using whatever rights and laws I could create. Although many of the administrators were horrid, my principal was pretty cool. Plus he used to be a lawyer. I still remember the day I got my Video Game Club permitted. This one teacher accused us of trespassing in this one classroom (which we had gotten permission to use) that wasn't even his own and for us to pack up quick before he wrote us all up. Then, when I showed him the paper work that made the club legit, hehe, that expression of his... I understand that he did have the right to suspect that we could be up to something suspicious, but he could have at least asked what is going on without jumping to the conclusion that we were up to trouble. I think the main problem is just lack of any trust in the students. I understand that many students around high school age do act out, but there are about as many that act out as those that follow the rules and are good students. Some teachers need to realize that because a kid is young, that doesn't make him a punk that should never be trusted. That is basically how society looks at criminals, as punks that shouldn't be trusted. If school administrators see kids as being on the same level as criminals, they will continue to treat the two in the same manner.

I collect Marvel Legends!
Wave 5 sounds quite grand it does it does... Sure I'm only buying Sabretooth, Colossus, and Blade but the rest of the line-up is nothing shabby (Mr.Fantastic, Silver Surfer w/ Howard the Duck, Nick Fury, and Red Skull as the chase figure)
The X-Men and Hulk classics lines sound pretty good too. (Cyclops and Archangel are the only worthy figures in the X line, unless you want a rehash gambit and a few more wolvies, but a line of 7.5 in Hulks is pretty cool)

Yes, the upcoming wave looks really cool (I've been waiting ages for a decent Colossus toy).
The only thing I don't like, is the "chase" gimmick, but not because they're insanely hard to find, I don't like them because they look cheap... the Daredevil from Wave III is not "Legend" articulated and has a display base from the Spider-Man Classics Daredevil, Giant Man from Wave IV is a repainted Goliath from the Avengers boxed set from a few years ago, and from what I've seen, Red Skull has the same points of articulation as Movie Daredevil (and the thing I like the most about Marvel Legends, aside from the superb sculpt, is the insane amount of points of articulation, you can pose them as you wish).
I've heard the rumor that Wave VI will be composed of Cable (Excellent!), Black Widow (can live without it), Hawkeye (steals the spot from more "legendish" characters) and brown and yellow Wolverine (...), and a Lou Ferrigno Hulk (I think this is plain bullshit) .

The first few chase figures were fine... a Gold Iron Man for those who wanted a metalic figure for their shelf, a Doombot for display reasons I guess... Maskless Wolverine to force people to spend thousands on eBay.
But after that it all fell apart. I HATE that movie Daredevil toy so much I can't look at the actual factual movie Daredevil from the movie without hating him for being so crummy and taking up shelf space that could go to better toys. (the cool new Elektras are one per case and THAT waste of plastic seems to be 50 per)
Goliath is for people who are insane collectors, because as you said he is just a repaint, it was rumored at one time he might be receiving new joints but that was either a dropped or just a rumor and because of that a lot of angry stupid people are upset by his 9 points of arcticulation.
and Red Skull is a joke. The reason he's short packed is because "you can't have a Nazi on a toy shelf!"... but if they put him in his green jump suit (the NEW Spider-man classics version if a Daredevil would work for that) I doubt anyway would have though anything of it... at least I know where all those Wal-Mart recalled DD's are going.

I've heard a lot of rumors for Wave 6... Personally though Cable is the only one I'd buy (I only collect X-Men figures with a few expections)... I doubt it's the real line up though... after all who is the confirmed DOOP side-kick going to be packed with? (Wolvie maybe?) Plus I believe I read somewhere wave 6 would have a lot of mutants (not nessessarily X-Men, but mutants) and most of the rumors don't include that many.
So I'm taking it was a grain of salt, but I Cable sure would look awesome on my shelf.
I don't doubt a Lou Ferrigno Hulk is planned there was movie DD, and coming up a Blade and new movie Punisher... a TV Hulk to doesn't seem unlikely (he could be posed 'rassling with Eric Bana Hulk!)

Woah they are giving TV Hulk his own figure? I didn't get a chance to pick up the first Marvel Legends Hulk and its only available at comics shops for like $25. But I will get the TV Hulk for sure. Do you have any picks?
It is only a rumor, don't get your hopes too high.
I like my Hulk to be a massive mass of muscles, not a puny human in green.
I got the first Marvel Legends Hulk, and I'm quite satisfied with it.
I want to get the Marvel Select Ultimate Hulk, but it seems that I won't be able to, because I live in this stinkin' prehistoric town, and I can't find it anywhere (and the online stores ask for a liver and your soul just for the damn S/H).
I would like to have Cable, he's always been a favourite of mine, I just hope he's in his blue and yellow uniform (the one featured in MvC2), not in his Rob Liefeld hernia-inducing-shoulderpads costume, or in his horrendous recent uniform.
I want to see Deadpool, but I'm afraid that if he appears in the ML line, he just will be a repainted Daredevil or Black Costume Spider-Man...

Sorry, when I see TV Hulk it makes me as excited as a school girl. The Marvel Select figures are cool as well. I am thinking of picking up the Punisher one. The Origin figure is a Marvel Select as well right?

By the way, your custom toys are cool, but they're too shiny, maybe you can correct that, this might help:
Once a figure is well and fully painted, seal it with a coat of acrylic coating to keep the paint from chipping or flaking away. I use Citadel Matte Varnish. Matte. Matte. Matte matte matte matte matte. Never gloss. A nice matte finish will be invisible, protecting your figure in secret. Gloss, however, will make your figures permanently shiny.
Funny you should bring that up, because I recently bought some matte finish to do that (made sure it was MATTE, because like you said, Gloss finish is bad)... the brand I bought doesn't get along with Sharpie, so Manga Harley Quin is going unsprayed (but she works well being shinny, it draws even more attention to her among the rather dark Batman figures) but the few I've used it on so far are vastly improved.
Right now I'm repainting/reworking most of the figures, but when I'm done I'll update with photos of their matte finished goodness

Who doesn't! When he's made he smashes stuff and when he's happy he's probably playing DoAX.
(speaking of which... odd the HULK DVD features a demo for the XBox game then the PS2 version... maybe they saw Hulk-box and were inspired!)
