quonsar, you look like kinda like a Spider-Man villain. Have you met with Sam Raimi for Spider-Man 4?

I have made subtle comments before about my personal shortage of shout-outs, but et tu, quonsie? IS THERE NO LOVE OUT THERE FOR THE END-WELLER?
That's a rhetorical question. The answer is obvious... and horrifying.

Very few of my pics came out well, so I'll limit my contribution to my shoutouts.

Kinda like when KISS took off their makeup. Always nice to see Meta peeps having a great time. Thank you for the shoutout as well.

Why does no one ever shoutout <big> or <marquee>?

quonsar looks like Frank.

*scratches head*

His pic has been linked lots of times here. It's not like it's been a great secret or anything.

Damn, this year we got to see Migs and quonsar.

His pic has been linked lots of times here

But all we saw was his ass, and of course, the stream of urine.

You losers obviously don't watch the qcam 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, like I do. Get a life, morans.

What, no "Hot 4 Scody" T-Shirt? Wherefore the reciprocityism? I despair of people's abilities to perpetuate a running joke sometimes.

Here's a few more from last night.
Someday we'll all look back on this night and laugh and laugh (until the orderlies come back to up our medication).

So the legends are true; Tor Johnson and Burl Ives did indeed conceive an unholy lovechild in the wilds of Michigan, lo many years ago.

I'm surprised the Secret Service let this happen.

(I've seen quonsar's pic before - I was more thrilled to actually see pantsfish, at last)
