@wwk5d: And ...Thanks everyone for the kind words! <br /><br />@wwk5d: <i>And may your son never get taken into the future and come back older than you...oh God, your son could be back here now, already! He might be that 50yo guy across the street from you.</i><br /><br />Years ago, me and buddy swear we saw our future selves walking out of hobby shop one day. I wouldn't be at all surprised if my grown son from the future was lurking around here somewhere. :) <br /><br />@Mela: <i>If you plan to do a Patreon for the site, that would work. I've supported other sites for being great sources of information, and since the old X-Axis is gone, you fill a big need for detailed X-reviews.</i><br /><br />I'll have to look into Patreon. Sounds interesting. <br /><br />And yeah, I still miss the X-Axis. <br /><br />@Blam: <i>A message brought to you by the mini-fridge in my office (perhaps karmically) causing a minor flood.</i><br /><br />Heh. No worries, Blam. :) <br />Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-35533404312508542792014-09-18T18:37:12.676-05:002014-09-18T18:37:12.676-05:00@Me: // I have to admit missing your participation...<br>@Me: <i>// I have to admit missing your participation in the conversation at times, but you probably do enough hand-wringing about that already without me adding a guilt trip. //</i><br /><br />The more I think about this, the sorrier I am I even said it.

Just to be sure...<br />-Your wife isn't the spitting image of your dead ex-girlfriend who, odds are high I know, might make a return?<br />-You don't have a long-dead worst enemy (who is the father of your best friend)?<br />-Your wife doesn't possess cosmic-radiated powers that might cause a rather unhealthy pregnancy, meaning you have to make one trip to the Negative Zone and steal the cosmic rod of a monster-despot in order to filter out that unstable radiation and ensure a safe delivery?<br />-You don't possess delusions of godhood and fear that your unborn son will become a greater god than yourself, motivating an action to duplicate a messy oral action that your fellow gods did their children?<br />If none of the above, than best wishes to you and your future family. May you educate your son in the ways of X-doctrine according to Claremont.angmc43@hotmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379700547226493861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-86704247266846865962014-09-17T13:42:29.363-05:002014-09-17T13:42:29.363-05:00Congratulaions!

Please be sure to keep in mind everything everyone here has said lately about certain someone and how he should/shouldn't have treated his wife and newborn child because that applies outside the comic books too, and remember that great time for catching up with the latest episodes of TV shows is in middle of the night when you're up with the baby and the bottle (baby's...) while your wife gets some well-earned sleep.Teemunoreply@blogger.com
