The Star Swordsman - Thanks! And, nope, this is definitely not an April Fool’s joke.
mo - Thank you!
Don’t worry. You’re bound to meet someone eventually.
DocKenobi - I know, man. It’s awesome.
Patton Oswalt can be quite hilarious. I always thought his humor was pretty darn crude, but it is funny. I listened to a few stand-up acts of his on YouTube when I was feeling down in the dumps once, and I almost wet my pants laughing…
Yeah, it must be a bit surreal to see them out in public, albeit cool. My dad used to see Mark Hamill all the time in this one particular comic book store, I think. Heh.
AW, MAN! Mark Hamill? That would be so awesome to meet him. I’d probably ask him to do his joker voice, after I regained concisousness.I’ve heard he’s a big comic fan. I think he wrote one.
Edited. There is no need to quote the entire post. – Mitch
DocKenobi - I know! I was so jealous when my dad told me that he met him several times. You’re right: Supposedly, he’s just as big of a geek as the rest of us when it comes to comics.
Ha! He wrote his own comic? I think I may have heard my dad mention that at one time. That’s great. (snigger)
I remember from reading a book about handwriting and signatures that if someone tends to underline their signature, they tend to be morally strong and forthright and very down to earth.
That might be utter rubbish, but it’s still pretty interesting.
Thanks for posting up the signature! Are you going to frame it or put it somewhere special?
lizardgirl - Really? That’s interesting. I don’t know if I’d call myself any of those things, but maybe they fit Mr. Oswalt to a tee…?
No problem! And, nah, I’m just going to keep it in my cupboard. I’m funny when it comes to autographs – I simply store them in my drawers or something. as though I consider them to be more like friends than celebrities that must be framed and hung up on a wall. I’m weird. (snigger)
That’s awwwesome, Mitch! And I love how it’s so impromptu… getting the day’s edition of the newspaper signed by who you’re a fan of is not something you get to receive every day
That’s really cool! I liked Patton Oswalt as Spencer on King of Queens long before I saw him as Remy (plus he was really funny on Lewis Black’s the Root of all Evil).
And Mark Hamill? I wrote to him and got his sig, but I too would be like, do the Joker for me!!! At least giggle like a maniac!
Mitch.… I now hate you… but in a totally jealous way…
you lucky son of a gun…
The only Autographs I’ve ever been able to get is that of The Entire squad of Newcastle United Football Club Season 1995-96 (I think) and now I’ve lost it as it was part of a school project when I was 9…
Although more through Stupidity… I met Michael Sheen (the person Who Plays Tony Blair, David Frost…and The White Rabbit in Burton’s Alice in Wonderland) and being a naff tool… considering I know his father… I forgot to ask him for his Autograph…
Still waiting on that reply from John Lasseter too… Its been 3 months now…
Back on topic… Congratulations… you owe your father more than you could possibly imagine…
lennonluvr9 - Mmm. Okay. Thanks! Perhaps I’ll look into it eventually.
HelloDolly114 - Thanks!
Captain Pan - Ha-ha. Actually, your collection is pretty dang awesome in itself. I’m sorry that you lost your “Newcastle United” signature, though! That sucks, man. Oh well. I’m sure you’ll harbor other, note-worthy autographs over the years. John Lasseter will probably send you his John Hancock eventually…
You are Pure Gold Sir… You said it and my 3 Month wait comes to an End…
In Port Talbot Wales this morning A Yellow Envelope with the Words “Do Not Bend” arrives on my Doorstep… Bright White Address Tag with the infamous logo (minus Luxo… Replaced with Jessie instead)
I open it and there it is… A Signed Toy Story Photo…
And a lovely letter from the “company” as a whole… Explaining how thier sorry for the delay but its due to some Movie coming out in the US in just over a month… and that Although “John” loves hearing all the great things and the Pixar themselves apologize for John not being able to personally respond…
Well What can one do… I’m shocked to say the least…
Just hope Disney reply now… not that I’m greedy or anything… but It would just be nice
Captain Pan - Oh, no, no, no. Don’t worry about it. Seriously, almost everyone thinks that I’m a guy when they first meet me on the internet. It’s no problem.
Should come up with a cooler ‘John Hancock’.
