- God, if you are testing me, I would like to switch this class to audit because your test is shit. #

# - Ring. "Beyond Comics, this is Mike." "Yes, Beyond Comics?" "Yep!" "I'm trying to reach Beyond Comics." "You have." "Uhmmm." Click. WTF?!? #
- The good thing about Wizard trying to compete directly with the NYCC next year? Someone like ME could end being a "Special Guest" there! #

- If the beer aint cold – I send it back, #
- Being sick + beer = cheap buzz! #
- I have a lot of TV watching to catch up on. #
- "We/I did it for the show" will now be my catch-all excuse, #
Here’s What You Might’ve Missed
- The Baltimore show (#BCC) is over, but only 10 months until the next one! Great to see old and new faces, thanks for all the "FoJ" love! #
- #BCC Day number two. Lets sell some comics! #
- My feet are freakin' killing me. I need a beer or seven. #BCC #
- $11 chicken fingers are only worth that much when you're starving. #BCC #

- All packed up for the show. Lots of comics FoJ-related stuff. Looking forward to a busy weekend and catching up with a lot of friends. #bcc #
- WAY too much to do before Friday morning – heading to Baltimore right after work Friday evening. And I work 14 hours Thursday?!? UGH! #
- I didn't think I had much for the show, but… SWEET CHRISTMAS! I don't know how I am going to get all of this stuff on one table! #
- Anyone good at making themes for WordPress that wants to hook me up? I have a vision and not enough skill to pull it off. #
- I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue. #
- So, because I don't have enough to do, I now need to get a real Fist of Justice site up and going. Ugh! I need, like, 40 hour days! #
Here’s What You Might’ve Missed
- I'm actually okay with the Ravens' loss today. It was a close game against a good team. A couple things happen different and it's a win. #
- We always say "my evil twin" or something like that – but what if… what if WE are the evil twins? #
- You know what? Less than a week until Baltimore and the Baltimore Comic-Con! #
- All the supplies have been purchased – roughly $40. Now to draw everything out on paper and get to cuttin' and nailin'! #
- If I can find a way to get plywood from Lowes to my house, I am making a coffin this afternoon. #
- While Prince still makes great music, I really miss he sang funky, naughty stuff like "International Lover" and "Jack U Off". #
- Zombieland was good, gut-splatterin', brain-crushing fun! #
- I'm going to Zombieland! #
- Since I don't have a lot of free time, my Scary Movie Reviews will total 13 and will be a mix of old and mostly new reviews on imboden.org #
- Weird Toy Guy! It's like seeing a relative at your annual family reunion. Only this crazy uncle just looks at all of the food. Twice. #
- I don't even know what the hell a Google Wave is (I guess I could, er, "Google" it), but I want one! #
- I think I will watch and review some horror movies starting tonight, #
- Still looking for mad scientist lab ideas. Let me know any that you might have, #
- …and so we start another week. Lord, I hate the wash, rinse, repeat of it all. #
Here’s What You Might’ve Missed
- Holy shit – I JUST saw that Pittsburgh LOST! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! (cough, cough – ahem)… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! #
- In my excitement to see the Lions win, I neglected to remark on how awesome the Baltimore Ravens are. Three-and-oh – hot diggity! #
- The Lions win! The Lions win! #
- Watched "The Prowler" tonight. Not as good as I'd hoped. A little weak overall. A machete AND a pitchfork? Really? Good effects by Savini. #
- I think I'm gonna watch one of my recent horror movie purchases. Slashers or zombies? Hmmm… #
- So I get to the other Blockbuster in town and… those bastards are closed! How am I supposed to buy my cheap movies now?!? Grrrr. #
- I'm looking forward to Halloween because it's the one day of the year that I can go out in public dressed in womens clothing. #
- What part of "Please don't bang on the Hulk" don't you understand, you little shit? Fucking savages and their clueless parents. Sheesh. #
- The CBS Sportsline game tracker is a bit sketchy, but from what I see: way to go, U of M. Can you screw up any more than you already have? #
- Gah! Who dropped off the bus-load of customers?!? #
- Wait.. you want to haggle over the prices of some comics… from our dollar drawers?!? AND you want free bags and boards? Riiiiight. #
- Tight jeans, white-T, leather jacket, black boots – and a mummy's face. Rock and Roll Grandma is in the house! Well, the comic store. #
- Oddly slow so far. Then again, Saturday's have been slow until around lunch for a weeks now. I need someone outside dressed in a costume! #
- Time to make the donuts. #
- A "Fist of Justice" live-action movie? It wouldn't be big-budget if it happened, but that doesn't mean it's out of the question. Hmmmmm… #
- Last year I built a cool, faux iron fence for Halloween complete with skulls on the fence posts. THIS year I am gonna build a coffin! #
- Taking a page from @rianmiller, I stopped at a Blockbuster and got 7 movies for $35; and that included two recent releases. #
- Boing alert! #
- As long as there are stereotypes there will be people like me to laugh at them. #
- Baltimore Comic-Con in a little more than 2 weeks! #
- The county fair just isn't as fun as it used to be. Guess that means I'm officially "old". The baby pigs were adorable, though! #
- Blergh. #
- Time to read a few comics before going to bed. Spider-Man, New Avengers and Terry Moore's Echo are on the top of this week's pile. #
- I should note that I meant "Glee", the TV show. No effin' way am I actually singing! You'll be glad I'm not. #
- Glee has become my guilty pleasure. #
- Have you ever gone over to a friends house to eat and the food just aint no good? #
- Anyone into biorhythms? I seem to be in an odd funk for some reason. Since I can't explain it, maybe that junk could shed some light. #
- Why do I have a burning desire to watch "The Room" again? Am I insane? Is there some kind of virus embedded in it that has infected me? #
Here’s What You Might’ve Missed
- Okay – that was way too close. Baltimore – it's called Pass DEFENSE for a reason, for shit's sake! Still, 2-0 and in first place! #
- Late Ravens game today. Time to get a few things done before 4pm rolls around. Why are the Jets a trending topic on Twitter?!? #
- Dammit, radio stations – why must you all suck so much? #
- Dear Washigton/Baltimore classic stations: There is more than one George Thorogood song to choose from. #
- RT @comiXology: We have another of @mikeimboden's Fist of Justice on the app today. Classic, great superhero hijinx from Digital Webbing. #
- Only if your ass tastes like pancakes. RT @dimboden: is it bad if your balls smell like syrup #
- Pending edits, script for FIST OF JUSTICE #8 is done! Next up is a couple of WARMAGEDDON stories for Jamal. #
- Right when I think I'm about to get ahead? BAM! Someone fucks up and the whole plan goes to shit. I. Fucking. Give. Up. #
- Whoa! Just saw a motorcycle pushing about +65ph fly past out front followed closely by four cops! The speed limit is 35ish. Yikes! #
- Mr. West Virginia and Weird Toy Guy just met each other and had a 30 minute conversation about… Shit, I have no idea, but it was funny. #
- Live to work or work to live? Sadly, for me it seems to be work to work. #
- Kanye West just took my keyboard and said one of my co-workers was better at my job. WTF?!? #
- Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus is probably, hands down, the single worst fucking movie ever made. Manos? Plan 9? Nope. Right here. This one. #
Here’s What You Might’ve Missed
- Okay… That game was far closer than it should have been. Ravens need to pick up the game in a couple of spots. Overall looked very good. #
- I need to go back to making lists to get my shit organized. I'm so out of whack it's not funny. Coming or going? I don't know! >:( #
- Holy Guacamole! What a game between Michigan and Notre Dame! The Maize and Blue is certainly turned things around 180 degrees! #
- Ooo, ee, ooo-ah-ah, ting-tang walla-walla bing-bang! #
- I demand that Charlie Sheen looks into the fact that Diamond fucks up their shipments on a weekly basis. There's a conspiracy for him. #
- So, apparently we were missing boxes from our late shipment which showed up today – a day after the "emergency" shipment arrived. #
- Whoa – WTF? Incubus doing a cover of "Let's Go Crazy"?!? Mike does not approve of this. #
- Slow so far. Only a few customers, so I'm pricing old comics. And, y'know, updating my status here. #
- Comic store hijinks in a couple of hours. What manner of interesting customers will I see today? #
- I demand that President Obama explain to me the truth behind Charlie Sheen's success. Is it true he blew Satan? Why the cover-up?!? #
- Inappropriate Coast Guard exercise FTW! #
- Why is Charlie Sheen demanding answers about 9-11 from Obama? Wasn't Bush president at the time? Conspiracy? Get real, Chuck! #
- Sleeeeeeep. Sleeeeeeeeeeep! #
- Working on Fist of Justice scripts. #8 is almost done! Then I really need to start getting ready for the Baltimore show – 30 days left! #
- I pay the mortgage, so why the FUCK am I wearing the goddamn headphones?!? #
- Dear Diamond Comics – thanks for fucking up the shipment to Beyond Comics. Now I've got nothing to sort tonight. Dumbasses. #
- Went to the "old mall" in Frederick tonight and was utterly shocked at the ghost town it has become. Maybe 6 or 7 stores total. Sad. #
- The 20 year anniversary ends tonight, but not until dinner at Outback. Look out Bloomin' Onion, I am going to eat you! #
- Happy 20th Anniversary to my loving and wonderful wife. Thanks for putting up with a dork like me for so long! #
- Sweet Christmas! God bless stereotypes! Martinsburg, WV customer TOTALLY acting like the punchline to every WV joke ever told! Hahaha! #
Here’s What You Might’ve Missed
- Home after an enjoyable day trip with Kim away from everything. Ate some… interesting food and a yummy brunch buffet today. #
- Home soon, dinner and then some sleep. Hopefully this weird headache will go away over night. 20th Anniversary fun starts Friday night! #
- Interesting conversation between 2 customers. Who is most evil villain? One said Sylar (from Heroes) other said Darkseid (DC comics). Hmm. #
- Okay, obviously I don't feel like Cap – I meant to type CRAP. I feel like CRAP today. Cap is lost in time or something. I'm just sick. #
- Feel like cap today. Hopefully it's a quick "24 hour" thing. Maybe I can sleep it off. #
- I hope everyone went out and bought their copy of Fist of Justice #5. If not, what are you waiting for? Marvel doesn't need your $ anymore! #
- Oooo! I bought the 'My Bloody Valentine' remake at 7-11 for $9! It was a Red Box rental, but looks brand new. Not the 3D version, though. #
- It's Wednesday, September 2nd – do you know where your Fist of Justice #5 is at? I do! It's at your local comic store. So go buy one! #
- Pssst… Fist of Justice #5 is on sale tommorow. Pass it on. #
- Making it an early night tonight. Be excellent to each other. #
- Frickin' people hanging out in my clubhouse…. #
- For the record, I'm not doomsaying the whole Disney/Marvel thing. Not like anybody was concerned about opinion in the first place, but…. #
- BREAKING NEWS! No giant media company showing any interest in buying Fist of Justice. #
- Disney buys Marvel?!? Who saw that shit coming? #
- Good night, cruel world. We shall spar once more tomorrow. In fact, I will go ahead and say you'll beat me. But come Tuesday….! #

# - Whoever devised the "the less you work, the more you get paid" pay structure should have to dig a fucking ditch. A five mile long ditch. #
- I'm a dad, a husband and myself. Sadly, there is not enough time in the day or week to be all three, thus all three suffer. #
- "Would you like to buy a monkey?" #
- His name was Remo and he didn't know a tweet from a twat. #
- I am the judge and jury. I'll leave that executioner shit for someone else. #
- While I wouldn't say things are all wine and roses, I DO feel that some things are improving. This is good. #
- Uneventful evening at the store. Then again, Monday's usually are. Looked at the invoice for this week – HUGE week for comics. #
- You guys watch Joe Don Baker movies? #
