This came from a comment in Phecda's blog, but it was so epic, I decided I should keep it for posterity.
"I'm an avid comic reader if you couldn't tell from my avatar, and I'm good friends with the guy that works there. It's my Cheers, for better or for worse. Here is a collection of short stories relating to my adventures there.
The thing is, the strangest things tend to happen at this comic shop, especially when I'm there. The first one I can remember, a regular customer came in to the shop raging drunk, screaming about how he's going to blow up the place at which he worked. Well, he has a drinking problem, and he can't quite control what he says. He worked at a Trader Joe's, but he obviously doesn't anymore.
another time, I asked for an indie book (to review for my site) and the other guy that works there said, and I QUOTE "Anchor?! We don't sell that book here. It's gay!" and a few minutes later: "hey, do you play...Farmville?" to this guy and they talked about getting Strawberry Milk from Strawberry Cows, while I'm looking for a comic about a guy whose soul is stuck in Hell while his body walks the Earth. YEAH.
There was another time I was there with a friend, and we were talking to Zack (the guy that works there) and we said he could move some comics to appeal to girls. He laughed and said girls never come into the store. Five seconds later a girl walks in asking for a book. Ever since then a girl comes in every time I'm there or close to it. It's kind of funny.
The strangest or rather most shocking story was from this past Wednesday. I'm there, talking to guys about various stories and characters, the usual, when I hear three high school kids from the school in the neighborhood. Now, I didn't catch what came before this line, and I didn't catch what came after it, but I definitely heard one of them say "...and then I said you're fucking STUPID, they don't fucking sell roofies at the dance!" YEAH.
Those are just some of the things that happen when I'm there. I hope I somewhat entertained you. haha"
