Some Viagra users report blindness-Pfizer

Thirty-eight out of twenty-three million, so it's not like it's a statistically significant number or anything, but still... countdown to Jay Leno proclaiming "if you don't stop doing that you'll go BLIND!", anyone?

And no. No reports of hairy palms, either.

Am first prisoner-of-war in fangirl uprising. Am disgruntled. SEND HELLBLAZIER COMICS.

Am also very, very boggled by this. save me!

'm not even asking. Will the TPB of "Haunted" be okay? Warren Ellis did the writing.

[dragonwhishes.livejournal.com]

I was trying to spy on the enemy, (I'm was in the fangirl army) but I was tricked...

So now I'm a prisoner of war, and belong to Zhilbar until this entire thing is over. *sulks BROODS* But at least he's the God Of Puddings.

"Haunted" will be fine. If it has prittee piktures and John in it, and a good story-line, I will no longer sulk brood.

Oh dear. Do you need any assistance?

I would recommend "Setting Sun" as well, because it's got some bloody hilarious stories in it, illustrated by a bunch of artists including Marcelo Frusin and Tim Bradstreet.

And it's where that icon comes from. Hee.

*writes the name down.* Thank'ee. I'm being brave, really.

I'm plotting revenge on the person that tricked me into it. Do you think a tattoo on his balls that says "asshat" will fit the bill?

[vivian-shaw.livejournal.com]

Why leave him anything to have a tattoo on?

Cable-ties, my dear. Cable-ties and bolt-cutters. Fucker will rue the day.

[dragonwhishes.livejournal.com]

I think he grows them back.

... *evil grin* Oh, yes.

I'm trying to bargain with Loki so that he'll end up a) pooping live frogs, b) getting oddly colored pus-filled wards on his penis, and chronic bad luck.

[vivian-shaw.livejournal.com]

Don't go with pooping live frogs. Take a leaf from the pathetic Weasleys' book and have him vomit slugs. Real impediment to daily life, that one.

I can hook you up.

[dragonwhishes.livejournal.com]

That... Oooh, yes.

I just may love you, just so you know. Kitten/piece of chocolate?

[vivian-shaw.livejournal.com]

*refuses to make reference to kitten poker*

Right. I'll have Nadezhda provide you with the necessary information. She's actually got some free time, would you credit it? Gor bless consultant jobs at the Ministry.

*does not want to even know.*

I've missed that lady, I hope you know.

John's got better behaved hair than usual in it, plus there are one or two shots of him in a strategically concealed nekkid state. And some thoroughly nasty pictures of people who've been beaten up right good. Fair warining.

[vivian-shaw.livejournal.com]

Plus some seriously disturbing dialogue.

Wish I'd thought of some of the things Wright gets up to. I'm losing my edge.

[dragonwhishes.livejournal.com]

It sounds like candy for a bookworm.

Nekkid John... Nekkid John....

... I need to wipe the drool off of my keyboard now. Excuse me.

[vivian-shaw.livejournal.com]

Psst.

Nekkid John shows up in Good Intentions and Highwater as well. Give Hard Time a miss: it's a decent story, but the art makes me shudder.

[dragonwhishes.livejournal.com]

Highwater was the first Hellblaizer I read, and I could see why everybody called him a bastard.

All his Engines made me like him, and made me understand why they call him "Right King of All Bastards."

[vivian-shaw.livejournal.com]

Ah, hells. Highwater gives you a rather odd window on his life. I'd recommend Dangerous Habits or Original Sins if you want some of the important backstory, although most of the seriously important shit seems to go on OUTSIDE the TPBs, because of Sod's Law.

And apologies to Camwyn. Sorry, didn't mean to spam your journal.

[camwyn]

s'ok. It's John. Besides, I've been putting up a CD rack and being seriously amazed at how many cd's fit in the damn thing. (Also at how many of mine are in languages I don't even comprehend in the slightest.)

[lots42.livejournal.com]

I have a Hellblazer comic where John gets buck naked and embraces a crazy old naked guy. Tres weird.

I'm reminded of an early Viagra news item about a guy who was suing Pfizer for the effects the drug had on him. He was a used-car salesman who popped a pill or two before going on a date; on the way home, he experienced some kind of blue halo effect in his vision, and crashed his car.

It should be noted that he did not have any particular problem with E.D., and how he came by the pills was rather vague. Also noteworthy is that he never did get laid on the date.

(I so wish I had a citation for that news item. It was pretty funny; whoever wrote it had reasonably good comic timing too.)
