'''William B. "Curly Bill" Brocius''' ([[1857]]-[[1882]]) was a western [[outlaw]] and member of the [[Clanton Gang]].

Following the death of "Old Man" [[Newton Clanton]] after the [[Guadeloupe Canyon Massacre]] in July 1881, Brocius became leader of the Clanton Gang. He was later arrested for the death of Tombstone Marshal [[Fred White]] following an incident where Brocius's gun discharged, whether purposely or accidentally, while surrendering it to White and deputy [[Virgil Earp]]. Although charged for murder by Earp, Brocius was later acquitted by a jury as an accidental death.

In July 1881 Brocius and [[Johnny Ringo]] rode into [[Hauchita]], [[New Mexico]] and killed William and Isaac Haslett in revenge for the deaths of Clanton members [[Bill Leonard]] and [[Harry Head]] who had attempted to rob the Haslett brothers general store weeks earlier. Later that month Brocius led an ambush attacking a Mexican trail herd in the [[San Luis Pass]] killing six [[vaqueros]] and torturing the remaining eight men.

Returning to [[Tombstone, Arizona|Tombstone]] following the [[Gunfight at the O.K. Corral]], Brocius attempted to kill Virgil Earp and later killed [[Morgan Earp]]. After several stagecoach robberies, Brocius was issued a warrant for [[Wyatt Earp]] by Sheriff [[John Behan]] and sent to bring back Earp who was hiding in the [[Whetstone Mountains]] outside town. Earp, who was also looking for Brocius in revenge for the death of his brothers, encountered Brocius at [[Iron Springs]]. Intending to bring Brocius in, Earp was informed by Brocius of the arrest warrant and killed Brocius with a shotgun blast.

'''Fanboy''' is a term used to describe someone who is utterly devoted to a single subject or [[hobby]], often to the point where it is considered an [[obsession]]. The term originated in comic book circles, to describe someone who was socially insecure and used comics as a shield from interaction, hence the dispareging conotations. Fanboys are often experts on minor details regarding their hobbies, and they take these details extremely seriously. The term itself is often used in a derogatory manner by less serious fans of the same material. Nevertheless, self-labeling usages of the term have been noted; in the songs of the fannish [[parody]] [[musician]] [[Luke Ski]], many characters proudly consider themselves ''fanboys''. The term is usually applied to people in their teens or 20s. Within this group, common objects of deference for fanboys are [[TV show]]s, [[film|movie]]s, [[video game console]]s, [[video games]], [[operating system]]s and [[software]] companies. The female equivalent is sometimes called a [[fangirl]].

Stereotypically, fanboys are attributed with a [[sycophant]]ic devotion to the creators and principles behind a work they are currently enthralled by, but will quickly move their attention elsewhere once something better or just newer comes along. A good example of this is [[Harry Knowles]] and his associates at [[Ain't It Cool News]], whose particular focus is on [[film|movies]] in the [[action movie|action]], [[fantasy]], adventure and [[superhero]] genres. Fanboys are noted for a very emotional attachment to their chosen subject, often taking negative remarks about it as a personal attack. They will readily engage in debates, but will fall back on emotional responses.

The stereotypical image of the fanboy is as an unkempt, often overweight, and generally unattractive figure of a young man who appears as a loud mouthed pseudo-intellectual. A popular depiction of this stereotype is the [[Comic Book Guy]] on [[The Simpsons]]. In the mid 1990s, the emergence of [[slacker]] culture changed this image somewhat. Movies such as [[Kevin Smith]]'s Jersey Trilogy ([[Clerks (movie)|Clerks]], [[Mallrats]], and [[Chasing Amy]]), altered the image of the fanboy. As electronic entertainment gained popularity, the term became increasingly applied to video gamers and television addicts. As a result, a subculture emerged which readily labeled itself as fanboys. Within this group, more effort is taken to fit in with a perceived standard, resulting in a more outgoing attitude, even among those with insecurities. This outgoing stance is often felt to be abrasive by those not involved in the culture as deeply.

----

The letter sequence "FANBOYS" is also a [[mnemonic]] for the words ''for'', ''and'', ''nor'', ''but'', ''or'', ''yet'', and ''so''. These words are [[coordinating conjunction]]s, which are used to join two [[independent clause]]s. It is customary to place a [[comma (punctuation)|comma]] after the first clause. Some [[Prescription and description|prescriptive]] grammarians say that one should not start a sentence with a coordinating conjunction. But others don't. (See [[English grammar]].)
