It could be used to describe something like Turok #1 or Rai #9, a book that everyone has and everyone passes around.

LOL

Leon, normally this would be disturbing, but you are almost always the one that starts discussing fashion.

You know, I think you could be right. Maybe it is 'my thing' and I didn't realise....

That is NOT a good thing.

I, for one, will never see the term 'pimp' and think anything good about it. That MTV show is ridiculous, not only because of the name, but they don't really make the car or truck better, just appear better.

And that's still not pimpin'.

But ya gotsta keep you pimp hand strong! What would you have me do to the ho skimmin my bling? Cap her? Rizzle her bizzle nizzle fizzle?!

Sheesh.... it's hard out there being a pimp...

I don't care how you dress... just don't try to pick up the lingo.

Need to go pimp slap the people that made that word "cool". The word is VARIANT. Pimp my ride, pimp my truck, pimp my myspace, pimp my house. I think their is even a pimp my trailer. What's next? New thread idea.

Honestly? Not a good idea for a thread......

I think it would be quite humorous. They got a pimp my ride, pimp my truck, pimp my myspace, and lord knows what else.

Heck, this very thread is a bad idea... AND it's in the General Discussion section, while having nothing[/i] to do with VALIANT.

To much of a good thing can be bad for you.

CGC graded books.

You pay a whole lot of money for something that you can get for a lot less if you are willing to just put in a little time and effort.

... and it won't open up to you either.

I don't really like the term pimp for a blinged out book. I've never heard that before in any of the comic circles I have ventured in.

James Sime here in San Francisco, who runs Isotope Comics (an awesome local comic shop), calls himself a comic pimp. He always wears pimp suits and he says it is his mission to pimp out comics to every person in the world.

The guy is cool as *SQUEE*.
