Digi, I'm well aware this doesn't belong here, but, you can blow me, this is where it's going. Move it if you need to, whatever, sticky it, lock it, I don't care. (I love you?)
Monday I ship out to basic training, then tech school, then quite possibly Iraq. I'm not scared, or worried, but odds are I won't be back, I'll either be dead or too busy with my life, and since I barely come here anymore to begin with (People who have been around since the birth of the VS know how active I used to be) I figured I'd make an official goodbye thread.
I'll still be around till Monday, even if I don't post more than once a week anymore, I just want to say goodbye and reminisce a little bit. Goodbye to all of my friends I've made through KMC, Digi, Scarlet, Khell, KVD, Swanky (<3), C-Master (What a ***), PR, Scoobless, Kontraz, Manjaro and so many more, you're just the ones I thought up off the top of my head. Goodbye to the Denizens of the Symbiote thread in the Spider-man forums, Fever Red, Scibott, Grey Fox (God I hate you), F_doom in all his incarnations, Feceman, Badsymbiote and anyone else I can't remember off the top of my head. If it wasn't for that thread I never would have met the love of my life (Call me a loser, whatever, she's hot as hell and the sex pwns your ass)
I want to mention Alpha Centauri, Mane and Hostile, three of the most influential KMC members I ever met. AC was the biggest troll in the history of KMC and won many debates without a shred of evidence or credibility, proving that a mastery of insults and BS could actually win an argument. Mane for being one of the coolest and funniest people I ever met on KMC, and Hostile for teaching me the art of 'harvesting' comics which I have shared with many of KMCs members.
Paola and Tron have been Mods for as long as I can remember, and, for the most part, have been very fair, if a bit lenient and sporadic in their appearances. Digi has done a good job, and really taken on the mantle of Mod (Sorry to those of you who don't remember the Pre-Digi days) well, even if I think he's still being too soft.
I want to give a big **** YOU to all the fan boys and girls out there, go eat shit and die retards. I want to give a big **** YOU to Galactic_storm, Stormfront, and Wolverine8888 in all his incarnations for being absolute retards 24/7. They say ignorance is bliss, ya'll are prime examples.
I want to say thanks to the Syndicate for giving me a good time a few weeks back, when you guys are a 'lil bit more jaded you'll understand. Go watch Buffy.
Finally, I want to thank everyone who brought logical, educated and reasonable thought to a debate. Scans and scientific facts can only go so far, it's that ability to say, "No way a human, no matter how trained, could lift a whole car and throw it or catch a bullet with their hands" that really makes or breaks you as an idiot. It's been real, and it's been good, and sometimes it's been real good, but this is just about it for me. I'll remember this place as the Mos Eisley Cantina of comicbooks. Best of luck in the future to all of you (Except stupid people, go jump in front of buses).
God. Good luck in your endeavors man. No offense, but my friend came back from 2 years in Iraq... and another got wounded in the leg in the process. I do not envy you. Come back safe. I'm sure if you come back, you'll find people to argue with you about some comic or another!

"in some cases because the writer knows that Character A will dominate Character B easily and refuses to allow this to happen for the sake of the story."
Good luck to you, friend. Things are not good in Iraq or Afghanistan right now. I hope they improve by the time you reach there, if that's what happens.

1 Pack light , because when you get there they will make you hold your arms out holding your luggage for about an hour.
2 Dont let the Sgt. in your face get to you, they wont touch you.
3 Prepare to have your face all cut up in the first couple of days, they only give you 1 minute to shave, and you better leave the sink spotless in that time too.
4 Dont ever stare into any Sgt. eyes.
5 They give you 3 minutes to eat and drink 3 gatorades, look down to your tray when eating cause if you look up your done.
6 Yes, when your eating the Sgt's are screaming '' Hurry Up"" one inch from your face.
7 First couple of days will be only cold showers...
8 Even if your sick or injured, you still have to train with your crew...and go threw all the same stress, no speacial privliges for the sick.
THanks, take care over there. And yes thank you for making the arguement I tried to make on so many occasions.

I don't like the fact that the American army is wandering around countries of the Middle East, but that's beside the point here. I haven't talked to you either (Well, I'm a new member), but I definitely wish you the best of luck, you'll be back alright.
