so long as they weren't wrapped in FILO

[malaprop]

And left in a SILO.

[Evil Parsnip]

which was then covered in SILT

[malaprop]

[Evil Parsnip]

Well a remedy shouldn't cost you more than a DURE

[malaprop]

That is if they can find a CURE.

[Evil Parsnip]

SURE some sort of miracle drug...

[malaprop]

That will LURE me in. Nice day for a 500.

[jaeldubyoo]

Watch out, I'll be LURKing.

[fulltimer56]

He's BACK!!! #woohoo#

[malaprop]

...somewhere in the MURK.

[Evil Parsnip]

Just gotta find the right kind of MARK.. so anyone interested in a nice reprint superman #1 for about $8000? A bargain.. I swear.

[malaprop]

No thanks, I've got one, you're BARKing up he wrong tree.

[Evil Parsnip]

but I'd BARE-ly be making a profit... and definitely not be making a prophet..

[malaprop]

I think you would FARE quite well.

[Evil Parsnip]

No takers? Perhaps I'll have to PARE down my expectations

[malaprop]

To about $5, if you DARE.

[Evil Parsnip]

Nah.. I just need a customer who is much more in the DARK about the value of this book.

[fulltimer56]

Maybe he bid on it as a LARK!

[Evil Parsnip]

I'll HARKen to that idea.

[malaprop]

But will a tortoise beat out the HARE?

[fulltimer56]

But that old gray MARE ain't what she use to be!! ;)

[Evil Parsnip]

Hey it's not like you could find it at the quickie MART

[malaprop]

Although you could go there for a MALT.

[Evil Parsnip]

HALT right there mister.. no sweets until you find me a buyer for that reprint...

[malaprop]

Even if it's not in real HALE and hardy shape?

[Evil Parsnip]

Oh come on, it's perfect and will fill a HOLE in someone's collection.

[malaprop]

I suppose it could play some ROLE in my collection.

[Evil Parsnip]

Sure you don't want to ROPE it in right now? I'll discount it.

[malaprop]

Yeah, right, and you'll come out smellin like a ROSE.

[Evil Parsnip]

Come on think of the pictures you can POSE for while holding it! Absolute supermodel..... *rothfl*

[malaprop]

Well in that case I'll POST my payment right away.

[Evil Parsnip]

That's the way to make the MOST of it.

[malaprop]

So remind me again about the COST?

[Evil Parsnip]

Well $8000 at the MOST.. but for you let's call it $7000..

[malaprop]

I see. Well, I need to think this over, for a whole HOST of reasons.

[Evil Parsnip]

Well I won't feel HOSEd if you do back out.

[malaprop]

Now wait just a doggone minute, I don't want to LOSE out either.

[Evil Parsnip]

I understand it is one of the great pieces of comics LORE

[malaprop]

It doesn't have too much GORE does it?

[Evil Parsnip]

Well certainly not in the story or on the FORE end, but I'll pull it from the bag to check the back for you too.

[malaprop]

If I were an LCS employee and paid that much for it, couldn't I expect to be FIREd?

[Evil Parsnip]

Actually I suspect they'd HIRE you for your foresight and initiative.

[malaprop]

Hmm. I was thinking this could cause a career to sink into the MIRE.

[Evil Parsnip]

Are you ashamed to admit that the book is MINE

[malaprop]

Not at all. It's not like it's pristine MINT or anything.

[Evil Parsnip]

In fact it is...and worth far more than a MINK coat.

[marvelguy]

I like watching MONK, he has a lot in common with us comics collectors with OCD!

[Evil Parsnip]

Hey this is almost a holy book.. something one might find in a MOSK

[malaprop]

More likely in a MOSH pit.

[Evil Parsnip]

That's BOSH!

[malaprop]

Oh yeah? Ever been hit with a COSH?

[Evil Parsnip]

You misunderstand.. I'm selling the book for CASH!

[malaprop]

So i guess the die is CAST.

[Evil Parsnip]

I'll mail it in a nice CASE!

[malaprop]

Wait a minute, I may have it already. isn't this the issue where he wears a CAPE?

[Evil Parsnip]

yes and there is a panel where he eats some CAKE

[malaprop]

Forget it. you might as well throw it in the LAKE

[Evil Parsnip]

Does that mean you aren't going to TAKE it?

[malaprop]

(Is that from "Tommy"?) No, it might be FAKE.

[Evil Parsnip]

No it's real.. I know you want this book.. it's FATE that you will own this book.

[malaprop]

I HATE to disappoint you but...

[Evil Parsnip]

I think you are crazy missing out on this must HAVE book

[malaprop]

What makes you think I'll CAVE on this?

[Evil Parsnip]

cause I know you want to read this over and over even when you need a CANE to get around.

[malaprop]

Looks to me like someone dripped their ice cream CONE on it.

[Evil Parsnip]

Must be a bad scan you really should COME look at it.

[malaprop]

Sorry, it's snowing here so I'll be staying HOME today.

[Evil Parsnip]

not to worry this TOME has kept for many a year, a day or two more until the weather clears won't matter.

[malaprop]

I heard some juvenile delinquent TORE it.

[Evil Parsnip]

Had that been the case instead of selling I would have resorted to TORT

[malaprop]

Hmm, maybe not ice cream, could be a strawberry TART.

[Evil Parsnip]

It's a TAUT copy.. I swear it on a stack of old New Universe books..
