[Groop] The Battle of the Groo Fans

[Gary Grossmann]

Hi Folks!

Ouch!  I remember that battle!  Steve knocked out my tooth that had the
filling shaped like Groo's head!  Three hours later it showed up on ebay and
I had to buy it back with a huge bid to beat out Chris H. (Promethea) and
wolvergeek (whoever he is! Maybe my dentist.)

Anywho, I remember in the early days of the Groop I had a simulated boxing
match about who had the best collection with Shane, who almost scored a
first round knockout with his Groo Sketch card.  I managed to stagger
through the round (barely) and come back strong with my International Groos
and some other things he didn't have.  But it was brutal!!!

btw, its taking me a long time to put togtehr the Groo List because 1) I
have no time and 2) The Other Groo Appearances and Groo by Others sublists
are years out of date.  Plus after I sorted things out into different stacks
and started putting things away, I still have a "Why the heck do I have
this?" pile.

Anywho, it will be ready soon.  And I think I'm going to take Greg "The Kiwi
Who is Grooless in Saudi Arabia" Crahill's advice and put the Original Groo
Adventures section in a different format.

It sure has been fun going through all this stuff!!!

Take care all -Gary G.
