Lance Storm Commentary - 4/22/03

[Yuna_Firerose]

I’m likely going to run a few more eBay auctions in the near future. I just have to find the time to sort through my closet of old wrestling stuff. I know I’ve got some old ECW and WCW stuff somewhere I likely don’t need anymore. The reason I’m going to be running these auctions is an odd one, or at least you may find it odd. There are several rare and rather expensive books I want to add to my library. Yes I’ve finally gotten my library started. I’m reorganizing my den and I’ve turned it into a bit of a Study/Library. I’m having a new desk made and I’ve added 4 new bookcases.

 

The highlight of the new “Storm Library”* is of course my full Hardcover collection of David Morrell’s Work as well as my complete Signed series of Book Marks selections. In addition to those I have my complete collection of Jack Reacher, Stephanie Plum, and Bernie Rhodenbarr novels among others. The rare books that I’m looking for now are the last outstanding novels in my F. Paul Wilson collection. I’m collecting hardcover copies of all his work and since most of them are out of print they are rare and rather pricey. There is an anthology I’m looking for that he edited called “Freak Show”. I found a copy, which is signed by all 16 contributing authors, it’s priced at about $150 and there is also a Leather bound copy of “Dydeetown World” which is in the same price range.

 

You are likely asking yourself, “If he wants the books why doesn’t he just buy them. It’s not like the guy is broke. What’s a couple hundred bucks?” Now granted I’m far from broke, truth is I make a pretty good living, but keep in mind I’m cheap as hell and trying to save enough of my income so that I don’t have to get beat up for a living past the age of 40. I’ve always had a hard time spending money on myself, and just having a few cool books in the “Storm Library”* isn’t justification enough, for me to spend money. In order to be able to buy these books and not have it mess with my head I run these auctions. It’s money I didn’t have and so it’s more, me trading things I have on one shelf for things I will put on another.

 

So if you are interested in picking up some Storm memorabilia, and contributing to the “Storm Library”* keeps your eyes on eBay as well as my news section. I’ll keep you posted there.

 

Till next week, I’ve got a closet to dig through

Lance

 

 

* If you find it odd that it’s the “Storm Library” and not the “Lance Evers Library”, let me explain. While it will definitely be Lance Evers not Lance Storm reading the books in the Library; it was Lance Storm who took the bumps, and earned the money to pay for it, so I figured why not name it after him. He may be a bit of a jerk, but he is a damn handsome man. (LOL)

I certainly appreciate Lance's honesty, but Geez, he still comes across like a cheapskate.

 

BUT, at least he admits to it.

Damnit Yuna...toss in some pics of Norton from American History X and I need my Victoria fix Oh..*ahem* Storm rules. Must suck to be his kids though with him being such a cheapskate.

[Guest art_vandelay]

What's wrong with being frugal? I completely understand Lance's decision and support it. I mean, I'm sure he's got a nice house and all, but why bother with a bunch of unnecessary crap around the house?

By the way, Yuna, your sig is lacking in Psycho Hotness right now, u gotta change that.

I tried to make that Psycho Hotness pic smaller, but it just simply wouldn't work. Damn forums have gotten to me..... too-big sigs annoy me now.

Norton - Hair + Swastika = Not Much Insperation For Icons. But I'll try and make some AH X icons sometime tonight or tomorrow. As for Victoria? Hmm....

Why is Victoria dressed like an Indian in one pic...

[Yuna_Firerose]

It's scans from the 2003 WWE Divas Desert Heat magazine. And, no, I don't have that magazine... I copied the pics from the "Queen of Wrestling" group, which I figure I should plug since I stole from 'em.
