Fan Expo Toronto Aug '12

[Phil]

I know it's a while off yet, but anyone else planning on going?

I'm toying with the idea of making the trip over.

Phil...
I may be negative here in my thinking, but i surely hope you are going for reasons OTHER than Alpha Flight, as Marvel's track record with Alpha Flight announcements at Canadian Fan Expos is...not exactly stellar. If so, then go and enjoy yourself. But if you are going looking for positive Alpha Flight news, please don't hold your breath.
[I may be negative...but aren't i also right?]

[Phil]

Heh, I'm not going for Alpha Flight news fella, relax.

Then ENJOY!

However, IF you plan on dressing up as R2D2, I'd suggest wearing a sign warning people that you are not a trash receptacle. http://www.geekmom.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/IMG_4242.jpg

Wish I could get to Toronto for a Con.
Or any other reason, really. Well, not any other reason.

Cool rubbish bin!

By the power vested in me by Northstar's Pointy Ears, I hereby declare your post the Post of the Week, an ad hoc award I just invented :)

ad hoc
adv.
For the specific purpose, case, or situation at hand and for no other: a committee formed ad hoc to address the issue of salaries.
adj.
1. Formed for or concerned with one specific purpose: an ad hoc compensation committee.
2. Improvised and often impromptu: "On an ad hoc basis, Congress has . . . placed . . . ceilings on military aid to specific countries" (New York Times).

Reprinted from http://www.thefreedictionary.com , for those of us who might think that "ad hoc" has something to do with mixing advertisements with the sound you make before you spit.

something to do with mixing advertisements with the sound you make before you spit.

Oh, I often do that. Usually when I talk about advertising, I want to spit.

I got my 'FlyBuys' loyalty card in the mail from a national supermarket chain last week.
How they know my name or where I used to live, I don't know.
