Buckley's chance

A very small chance of success, often expressed as "You've got two chances, mate. Buckley's and none." Alternatively contracted to "You've got Buckley's."

Derived from the life of William Buckley, an English soldier convicted of theft circa 1803 and sentenced to transportation to Port Phillip, (present-day Melbourne, in Australia). Buckley escaped and set off for Sydney. He was adopted by the Walthaurung Aborigines and arrived in Sydney in 1835, 32 years later.

Tim Buckley

Tim Buckley is the creator of CAD, short for Ctrl-Alt-Del, a video-game based webcomic that can be found at the URL cad-comic.com. At first, Tim's comic was small, with a friendly community which he frequently interacted with. However, as his community got bigger, he alienated many fans and community members with an arrogant attitude and a seeming lack of care for his fans. This has culminated several times in confrontations, most recently whereupon Tim deleted the RoM subsection of his own forum when accused of sending sexually explicit images to a minor several years past. While his comic continues to enjoy success, those who have interacted with Tim on a personal level have generally negative tales to tell.

Tim Buckley

Creator of the mess that is Ctrl Alt Del - a webcomic that is well known for being badly drawn, ripping off Penny Arcade and basically being too up itself.

Tim Buckley being the creator sadly also happens to share most of the same qualities. Additionally, he has little to no resistance to any form of criticism whatsoever and usually takes to acting like a chimp in a zoo when anyone in his forums or elsewhere even dares to suggest that one of his latest "storylines" might not be that good. In fact, try going on the Ctrl Alt Del forums and saying a slightly negative word and you'll find yourself banned quicker than you could imagine.

Also Tim is well known for editing/vandalising Wiki entries to do with his comic, consistently attempting to remove the "criticism" section on his beloved comic. If that isn't bad enough, try asking anyone about the ROM incident. This is basically where Tim got accused of emailing pictures of his cock to a 14 year old on his forum and instead of behaving like a normal adult, he basically had a screaming fit, banned over 3000 members, closed the forum for a week and then totally removed the section of forum from which the claim was made. Not a particularly overwhelming sign of innocence to say the least.
Random Fan: "So, we've gone from being a wacky slightly surreal webcomic to suddenly having an attempt at a serious dramatic storyline with miscarriage and mayhem...urm, don't you think maybe this isn't the best idea you've ever had?"

Tim Buckley: "SHUT UP...I AM THE INTERNET. I can do drama...LOOK A DEAD BABY! I sooooo deserve an Oscar for this because I'm soooo brooding and deep. Oh, by the way. Anyone who disagrees with me gets banned and insulted. Got that?"

Random Ex-Fan: "OKayyyyy, you're obviously a headcase. Bye!"
