A Typical E-mail Convo Between Jeff Bond, Joe Esq, & Mike D... Priceless

This was just one of the 50 or so emails a day that gets bounced between Jeff Bond, Joe Esq, Tommy L, Brianna, Joe F, KMG, Kate Jones, Glen Garcia, myself and many others about some cool shit that we saw on the net... honestly, this is the exact reason I started CCD in the first place. I would come across all this cool shit, so I had to share it with like minded (see above) people that I know. After the emails started to top 100 a day (with everyones reponses) I decided to just centralize the majority of them. Thats how CCD was born. Anywho, this particular email was about a Star Wars/Star Trek mashup tee shirt over at CCD's favorite tee shirt company, TeeFury.

Now, I instantly wanted to die when I saw this. I am not a Trek hater (not really), but I damn sure don't want to be mashing it up with the Wars. To quote friend of CCD Dan Fogler in FanBoys "We don't hock the Trek here... we keep this here phaser in stock to sus out Trekkie bitches like yourselves and tell them to get the hell off our land. Get the hell off of our land... GET THE HELL OFF OF OUR LAND!!!"

So, I digress... here is how the email between Jeff, Joe, and myself went:

• Jeff: For the nerd who can't choose between "Wars" & "Trek"
• Joe Esq: C'mon now... if you can't choose between the two, are you really a nerd?
• Jeff Bond: Geek???
• Joe Esq: Nah. I would say the first step to becoming either is the decision to like one of the two over the other.
• Mike D: You are not a Geek or a Nerd if you like the "Trek" over Star Wars... Ur just a dick!!!
• Joe Esq: I wish that was a Facebook Status... I'd "like" it.

Hehehehe... just a bit of an insight into us geeking out. This goes on all day. Jeff usually introduces a topic innocently enough, Joe Esq usually hates on it, and then I swoop in at the end and try to be as hateful and demeaning as possible... nah, I'm just kidding. It's all in fun. To be honest, if they wanted to mashup the Falcon with anything accepatble, I would go with this design (which was also found and emailed  by Jeff Bond):


Millenium Lee... nice!

Now thats something we Star Wars fans here at CCD can get behind. Just wanted to give you a glimpse into the creative process we go through. It may not seem like much, but its how we get things done. So lets get your opinions in the comments below: Are you guys die hard Trekkies or Down With The Force? Let us here your opinions below.

Dan Fogler: From Fanboy To Movie Director/ Comic Book Creator

We caught up with Dan Fogler on the second day of The 2010 Big Apple Comic Con because he was unable to make the opening night due to arrival times from LA. I happened to be at the con on a second day just as a fan with my son Mikey, but when I saw Fogler I had to get a few minutes on camera with him for you guys. I have liked Fogler since the first time I saw him as Randy Daytona in Balls of Fury (hysterical... Christopher Walken in a Fu-Manchu outfit...priceless) and continued to make us laugh in Good Luck Chuck and Fanboys. He has a new film project, which he makes his directorial debut, is entitled Hysterical Psycho. I scored a signed copy for a mere 10 bucks (a black and white special edition) at the show. Fogler also chatted with us about the upcoming Moon Lake graphic novel which is based upon the Hysterical Psycho universe. He threw in a signed copy of the preview comic as well as an autographed one sheet poster. Three autographed pieces of merchandise from a very cool actor for 10 bucks... not bad!!! Check out this video where Fogler tells us a bit about Hysterical Psycho, Moon Lake, and being in the Star Wars geek-umentary FanBoys. He is talking to my son Mikey about Empire Strikes Back in the clip...

Be on the lookout for Fogler playing one of the greatest comedians of all time, Sam Kinison, in the upcoming HBO biopic "Brother Sam". Very cool dude, thanks for the interview Dan!!!
