    Yet another drifter... like all the rest.

    Ah-ha! So THIS is the infamous Mego Buzz place. Hi, my name is Kurt and I'm an addict (oops, wrong forum) I mean, collector. I found this place via Non-sports update and eBay. I collect a bunch of things, mostly paper items because of space limitations: Cards, comics, Chick tracts, Coins, cigar rings, Halloween post cards, and bills. (The bills I don't collect on purpose, but you know how that goes.) Anyway, I've enjoyed the Mego Museum but trying to collect the promos have been pretty confusing. I found a starter pack for sale on eBay, contacted the seller (one of the producers) because the sale had already ended. That led me here where I found out they don't really want me to buy them on ebay (the starter pack was free but for postage, but I've never seen it offered again since then). So I have to say it's been a bit frustrating because if you don't have any to trade, it's hard to get started. I'd watch the board and miss them every time. Also my dial up computer wouldn't let me sign in and let me post (though I could still stalk the board), so technology continues to stimey me And I didn't even know where Mego Buzz was. I guess what I'm trying to say is it's rather unclear how to get started for newcomers. I'm not griping, mind you, just suggesting it would help to spell it out more for newbees like myself who are a little thick headed. (Blame it on the comic books.) It only took three months but I think I'm finally beginning to figure it out... I think.

    I only need the first 65 cards of the mego promos. (It's a start.) I love the concept of the slowly growing card series, though it sounds like the latecomers have little chance of actually finishing them. (Until the old collectors start dying off. Tick-tock, tick-tock...) I'm trying to stay active in hopes of outlasting at least a few.

    As far as my background, I'm in Tallahassee FL, spend too much time on the computer, have a jones for monster cards and haunted houses (I produce both) but also dabble in a few normal activities for appearances sake (like teaching). I don't have a Mego collection, but would start one if someone would give them away like they do the cards. (My aurora monster model collection already consumes all my spare bookshelf space.) It's a sad moment when your reach that point of life where you realize you can't have it ALL.

    What else? I like riding, hiking, and long walks on the beach. No picture, no profile, no IM (just kidding, I'm taken but a few proposals might make her jealous and that never hurts.)

    Well, there you have it. My life in public forum so the identity thieves can do what they do best. BTW, my cat's names are Password and Username.

              Copy of letter sent to Monkey Tennis email:

              Dear Mrs. Monkey Tennis,

              Your husband told me to write in the event I did not hear from him in 12 hours. He said he wasn't feeling very well and was afraid something bad might happen. He asked me to tell you if he should not make it, that he loved you very much.

              Of course, I'm hoping his computer is down and there is no problem at all, but a promise is a promise, and the 12 hours is up. Besides, I figure it won't hurt for you to know he loves you if he's okay.

              Oh, and the other thing he said was to remind you to send his Mego Promo collection cards to me at 3202 Enterprise Drive, Tallahassee FL 32312. I'm sure he already told you this, or if he didn't that you can ask him and he will confirm that we made this arrangement. (My family was going to send him mine if I passed away first, and his survivors would send me his if he passed away first.) Just check with him so if something bad were to happen, you'll know what to do. (Or if something bad already happened, and he's no longer with us, you'll know what to do now.)

              Best wishes, Kurt

                  A full recovery? That IS sad. Of course, mild and severe memory loss is normal after a stroke or heart attack, so don't be surprised if he doesn't remember the details of our arrangement. If he denies we made any such agreement, that's just the brain damage talk'n.

                    Lo there do I see my Father.
                    Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
                    Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
                    Lo they do call me.
                    They bid me take my place among them.
