Is there a particular warning you are worried about?

 

[JonEl]

not at all, just looking for references.

Yikes!

Ship loses more than 500 containers in heavy seas

I hope my Gothmog wasn't in there!

 

[Wor-Gar]

^^^ OMG!


One year later: a Gothmog figure washes up on a quiet beach near San Diego, scaring a child and giving a lone black Lab a new chew toy.

 

[JonEl]

Nooooo

 

[superdoug]

I think now would be a great time for the Vader "Nooooooooooooooooooooo!" scene from ROTS. It would actually work here.

 

[SurlyJ]

That ship wasn't even headed to North America. You guys are really concerned that's what happened?

 

[JonEl]

We were just trying to be dramatic.

 

[SurlyJ]

Dramatic?

I HATE dramatic!!!!!

 

[superdoug]

In all honesty I never even bothered to look at the article. I was just joking around with the idea of casses of missing Gothmogs floating around somewhere.

In truth I figure either the factory is making them in different runs and the first run was released overseas and the second run is what is going to be shipped over here or that there has been some delay between the manufacturer and the shipping agent. I think the reason we are antsy is some Gothmogs started appearing in early/mid January.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Sorry if it wasn't clear. This was indeed meant jokingly. Hence the "."

 

[SurlyJ]

I knew you were joking posting it. It was a few of the responses whose sarcasm didn't translate to text

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

No worries. Comedy doesn't always translate so well. Especially when we get folks from all over the world on these boards.

Gothmog is no longer listed as pre-order at Cotswold.

 

[superdoug]

Gothmog is no longer listed as pre-order at Cotswold.

That's a good sign.

And yes comedy and sarcasim don't always translate so well on the internet and auto correct on the smart phones can garble the meaning even more. I tend to not take any comment too seriously online since I tend to be a pretty absurd and silly person in my own right (my poor wife is the one that normally has to deal with it).

 

[SurlyJ]

Alright, moving right along, they didn't get lost at sea, but maybe a customs inspection officer opened them up, took one look at gothmog and assumed Asmus was trying to reintroduce leprosy into North America, and set the crates all on fire as his civic duty.

I just got some strange looks from my kids when I burst out laughing.
