In honor of Bill Copes attending the largest Vintage tournament in New England in quite some time, here are five reflections on the man, the myth, the legend that is BILL COPES! Voldemort won't say Bill Copes name. Have you ever seen Bill Copes and Superman in the same room? Little known fact: The film Golden Eye is about the life and times of Bill Copes When Bill Copes was born, he drove his mom home from the hospital. If Bill Copes were a Transformer, he'd transform into Bill Copes. DISCUSS!  |

1. There hasn't been a comic book made about Bill Copes because it would just be "too awesome" and run out sales on all other characters.
2. Steven Hawking has a theory about Bill Copes
3. Harry Potter worldwide revenues wouldn't even be a down payment on "the story of Bill Copes" feature film.
4. The Tea Party has contacted Bill Copes about being its candidate
5. "Bill Copes" is considered the great American novel, though no story has ever been written about him.
BtW, who's Bill Copes?

Who is Bill Copes? I see what you did there. You are correct that he was also the basis for the character John Galt in the novel Atlas Shrugged. |

Not knowing who Bill Copes is is a bannable offense. This offense is so severe we had to develop a new color for the moderation text. It is reserved solely for chastising people who do not know/acknowledge the awesomeness of Bill Copes. |

The character Dr. Manhattan was also based on Bill Copes...
Adrian Veidt: "JonBill Copes? Right Wing? (laughs) If there's one thing in the cosmos that that man isn't capable of doing it's having a political bias. Believe me... you'd have to meet him to understand. I mean, which do you prefer, red ants or black ants?"
Doug Roth: "Uh...? Well, I don't have any particular preference..."
Adrian Veidt: "Exactly. Well, imagine how JonBill Copes feels."

Didn't have the political clout to edit BC post directly, so I'll just correct it here: Bill Copes is the greatest Magic player . [He's] in New England. He kind of looks like this:  Your welcome. TO BILL COPES! |

OHIO! As someone who has been to ohio...Bill Copes. P.S. not capitalizing ohio was on purpose there are no other nouns as proper as Bill Copes. |

Enough with the opinions, this discussion needs more FACTS!  Bill Copes is perhaps best known for his lead role in the Star Wars movies as The Force. When cops pull over Bill Copes, they're lucky if they get off with just a warning. In his spare time, Bill Copes improves the website he created - it's called the Internet. Bill Copes has never flushed a toilet. He just scares the $h!t out of it. Bill Copes once won a game of Connect 4 in three moves. |

Vintage is a lovely format, it's too bad so few people can play because the supply of power is so small.
Chess really changed when they decided to stop making Queens and Bishops. I'm just glad I got my copies before the prices went crazy.

Bill Copes teaches self-defense, but he subscribes to the view that the best defense is a good offense. His students know the truth though, that the best defense is a good Bill Copes. |

The script for Angels in the Outfield was originally based off Bill Copes' exploits. Due to ratings concerns, they had to change the sport to baseball from Demon Slaying.

- The Bible was originally named "Bill Copes and friends"
- Bill Copes once won a Magic tournament with an UNO deck.
- If you spell "Bill Copes" in Scrabble, you win, forever.
- If Bill Copes misspells a word when texting, his phone doesn't correct it. Instead it changes the spelling of the word to how Bill Copes spelled it.
- Bill Copes once traveled back in time to stop the JFK assassination. He caught Oswald's bullet out of mid-air and Kennedy's head exploded in amazement.

I can't show footage of finishes due to copyright claim, but here's a still image of Bill Copes' fight at the GW Bridge that resulted in his late arrival to the Grudge Match. He finished his opponent with a flying guillotine after displaying some ferocious stand up skills. It is unknown who masterminded the gorilla trap, but early speculation has all fingers pointing at Brandon Jones.  |
