Define Cynical Fan Forums

some friends from an irc server i frequent told me about it.

Well a friend of mine showed me a strip, and I was hooked like a trout on a line with hook on a boat with a goat wearing a coat...Peace Out!

Well, as I've said, I'd been defeated in a Skulltag tournament the night before (50-16), and I was just idly browsing when I saw the site listed under the hosted stuff. I knew I'd seen "those two" somewhere before, and then I proceeded to read the entire archive in one day. Does that make me weird?

Than, say . . .?

Nothing in particular... just weird.

That's what happened to me; when I saw the cover of <i>Authentic Banana Dye</i>, I remembered that I'd seen it back when I ordered another book from them.

Actually, it was at the 3dRealms site, where they had a list of "Duke Nukem in the media" sightings.

I actually knew about Ozy and Millie before it was online, because I've been friends with David since we were in the 6th grade together. I have a signed portrait of myself at age 12 drawn by David, as well as some random sketches. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> I need to get them framed.<br><br>Though a much more interesting story is a mutual friend of mine and David's, who is the Bass player on several of DCS's musical recordings, used to work in a bail bonds agency. He was looking at the O&M website when a bounty hunter came up behind him, you know, one of those 7' tall 300 lbs all muscle ex-Navy SEAL types with several weapons strapped on to him... <br>The bounty hunter says something to the effect of " Oh my god! You read Ozy and Millie!

Wow, cool. <!--emo&B)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/cool.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cool.gif' /><!--endemo--> That's a great story Blackfaer. It just goes to show that O&M appeals to a wide range of people. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Holy crap, that's bloody interesting.

Well, I was shown it by a friend a while back, though I didn't pay much attention at the time (I believe DCS was in the middle of his "commenting on old strips" phase). I had a second look a while later, after I saw a link on a site recommending it. Well, that got me hooked, and I spent the next few days reading through the archive.

I found Ozy and Millie on the Bob and George link page which i found via bob and george which i found via a link on h2g2.com. Annnnnd... thats all.
