What ?!?

They've managed to make the uninteresting characters interesting. Growing up, every kid in my neighborhood bought Spiderman and X-Men. I was the only one that collected Dr Strange and GotG.

You guys take all this talk to another thread. It's nothing but a derail.

No.

I can't believe we had a family pic taken with him a couple weeks ago. It's sitting framed on the wall now.

I got excited that he was in the movie, and I noticed after watching it a second time, that he's played by Karl Urban!

Yup. She came onto him pretty hard in that issue. All of this makes sense in the buildup for Avengers 3.

One of the first times I ever read of the Grandmaster was in Contest of Champions. He can instantly teleport you anywhere he wants. In this issue, he teleported every Marvel superhero onto the game field.

I just saw the trailer first time. Still cleaning up all the jizz.

I used to do business on a handshake. That is until the first time I went to Court and the Judge awarded me $0 on a 500 contract because it wasn't signed. And then we had a contract where they added 700, where the Judge also threw that out. So yeah, any contracting we do now is signed for...

I changed my forum handle. Hell, Lyrical was my first character in an MMO (Everquest Bard). That game is almost 20 years old, and I played at launch. That was a long time ago, and EQ doesn't have much meaning to me anymore.

Not lawn mowing - our average ticket is $763.

Thanks. These recorded calls are burying people in Court. Because they'll say the job wasn't done to their satisfaction in Court, but in the meanwhile they had a recorded call 60 days prior saying the job was done well. My employees that were present at the trial tell me the defendants...

I'm going to suggest a line of credit, if you can get it, to cover the slower times. When we bought this business, we requested a credit line of 160k, and got it.

We continue to sue people. Last check, the count was $11,000 in unpaid invoices. Slowly but surely, they are settling up, or going to Court and losing. We had a ticket for about $2,300 where they tried to pay 650. This is the one where they alleged we did damage, and then google street view...

Are you getting a bank loan on this, or doing it out of pocket?

The opening scene of RAW this past week was the best opening on RAW in years.

In the US, you'd have a hard time getting a VC to even meet with you on a gym idea. I looked at going into the gym business (it's in my thread). What I found was that the gym business is not very recession proof. When times get tough, most people will cancel their gym membership in a...

Yup. If you are talking to this sort of person, they fully expect to buy you out and own it themselves eventually. With the Professor in question, he was asked by one of the students why this was so. He just said that was the nature of the beast. 98% of the time he believed that founders...

Start a thread bro.

So tldr version, the Judge didn't want to look at any more of my evidence past the recording, and I had to be forceful to get him to look at anything else. It was the same with her. He kept cutting us off mid-sentence. It really kind of threw me off. I had tons of evidence and pictures of...

He did a good job. Their complaint was that the job was not done professionally and to their satisfaction. So they requested they be released from paying anything (in their Court papers). We've developed a system over the years, based on legal advice from more than one Lawyer, where everyone...

I love it when I beat a deadbeat customer in Court, and then come back to my office to find the customer has nailed me negative social media reviews. We had a case where the Judge shut the case down after the first five minutes' of evidence I presented, and gave me what I was asking. He...

One thing people hate is having their pay plans changed. When you are the boss, you have to expect they'll quit. Remember, a good salesman never goes unemployed. Most successful people know intrinsically what they are worth, and what things around them are worth. When I was outselling my...

One of my Professors ran a VC fund while teaching at the same time. Keep in mind, they look for hi tech investments (VC's favor innovation). Without knowing more about what you plan to do, it's hard to say. He did give us a criteria for what he was looking for. Namely, other than being hi...

Too bad he wasted all those years with the Cowboys.

I timed out how often the camera was going off, and indeed, they were making $800 a minute this weekend. The people that volunteer to run these things and work for free are retarded. There's a lot of money changing hands. And yeah, I don't doubt that the shows are a form of retirement for...

We had a family pic with the actors playing Negan and Darryl this past weekend at the Dallas Fan Expo. Negan was super nice. He asks me how I'm doing, and I respond with a casual, "I'm Negan" like most of you would respond and say "everything is good." He laughed and put his arm around my...

They claim it won't. Personally, I think Prot Warrior is OP compared to my Brewmaster. Once I get enough rage, and the proc that increases IP, I don't take much damage at all.

Older guys tend at a dealership tend to sell more from repeat and referral business. If you are new, you are probably getting the new ups. It takes time, unless you are an absolute stud. In sales, the stronger guys get wealthy and the weaker ones that can't close make minimum wage. It takes...

I can't tell since I'm not there. One thing I learned when I started out, was to buddy up with the guys that at the top of the sales quota list every month. Get tips from them, and have them shadow you, giving you feedback afterwards. The type of advice you can get from them is invaluable.

I dunno. Sometimes, I'm great at closing everybody. Sometimes, I go in a slump. This is true for everyone. I try to remember what their hotbuttons on the product were, and repeat them back to them. If you listen closely, they'll tell you what is important to them.

Don't you work for DC on Justice League 3000?

I went into a sales slump for two weeks. I couldn't sell more than 5k a week (not good based on the size of our company). It was my worst sales slump since I came out of the office and back into the field. The other Estimator and Office Manager also fell into a slump, for whatever reason. We...

I just read the whole story arc, and yes, it was horribad.

I hope they don't spoil anything, like they did with BvS. You already knew the entire plot of that movie six months before it came out, just from the commercial.

Damn straight. I think the trailer looks good. That's the problem with DC movies lately. The trailers look good, but characters have no personality. Jokes are against the rules. This movie could be the best superhero movie ever, but it will still suffer from the fact that Man of Steel and...

I wonder if we'd have all loved Stranger Things if it was 13 episodes.

Yes, the episode was so cheesy that it was awesome. Comics books are cheesy too. Forget all of this grimdarking.
