Hoo'd Win Part The Hemorrhoid

Ladies and Gentlemen! In our squared circular triangle of the mind today we find two less than titanic tricksters facing off for foppish supremacy.

In the orange corner, we have Mr. Mxyzptlk, (and shame, SHAME on me for not being able to spell his name at first), mystical imp from the Fifth Dimension and perpetrator of many a prank against DC's archetypical, prototypical, stereotypical superhero Superman. Whether it's animating giant teddy bears or making candy floss rain from the sky, he's the archetypical pain in the tuckuss with no actual harful intent.

In the Green corner is the Impossible Man. Last survivor of the planet Popup, this emerald skinned troublemaker has bedevilled the Fantastic Four, the New Mutants, Excalibur, Spider Woman, and a panoply of other spandex clad citizens of Earth 616. He does a great Galactus, too.

Now! The time has come for these two crown princes of superheroic pestilence will be crowned king, and who will be demoted to court jester?

You! Make! The! Call!

Book buying as masochistic endeavour

Okay. I REALLY want the Morrison New X-Men omnibus. Much more than I thought I did, because it's turned into such a chore to get it. Now, my FNSLCS is selling it for cover (i.e. $120 Canadain). So no. Dragon Lady has promised to sell it to me for less, but a strange quirk of physics has rendered them incapable of having a copy for sale when I'm in the store with money to buy. So, I start looking online.

If I go to Amazon.com, I can get it for
62.99 US. This is actually the best option so far, even if I do get dinged for GST & Customs, which is unlikely given what I've heard. Oh, wait. No free shipping. Fuckberries. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem, except it weight is seven pounds.

While I can get it for$67.14 from Buy.com, they'll also charge me for shipping if I get it there.

Amazon.ca will sell it to me for $100.80, which is NOT a corrrect translation of the US price. However, I'd not have to pay for shipping.

Chapters has the best price, having it for $73.32, also with free shipping. This is, of course, fucking useless as it is out of stock. Thanks a lot, Heather, you whore.

They can also sell it to me for $67.05 used, so I dunno if that's worth it. It depends how 'used' it is, really.

Have I angered the saint of book buying? Am I a bad person?
