Title: Welcome
Post by gotit on May 8th, 2008, 11:34pm
John and Maria bought a new door mat and put it in front of the main entrance of their house. The mat looked like this

But they had very few visitors after that. Why?

Yup. I had realized that but it was already too late. black_death had already posted the answer by then.

Changed which pic ? If you're referring to the avatar, well, I just happened to change mine every 6 months or so, depending on what I was interested in at the time. ( So far, I've went through the Onepiece phase, Harry Potter phase, right now it's Heroes. Who could resist, the cheerleader is far too cute.  :P )

Well Grimbal still has the everchanging one (right?). And Onepiece is still awesome, and so is Heroes, cept I lost track of what was happening about 3 episodes in  :-/

Who cares what is happening, as long as the cheerleader is there every episode.  :P

I admit, the series was kinda bewildering, I didn't understood it at first either, until I bought the whole season DVD and watched it back to back.

Reminds me of the box that is carefully labeled on the side:

+------+
|  up  |
|   ·  |
|  dn  |
+------+

So that you know which side should be up and which side should be down.

Yeah, it doesn't work so well with a dark background.
With a light background the black shapes stand out.

Yeah, except the cheerleader is trippy (hot though). First she jumps off a high place, shoves in her ribs, and films it all. then she sicks her hand down the garbage disposal (disgusting) and the cuts herself in front of her real mom, who apparently likes to have sex with politicians. Then there is the split personality who likes to kill people and happens to have a tattoo when she transforms. Then there is some weird painter, a flying politician (who had a kid - the cheerleader - with a woman who can use fire). Then there is an invisible guy who teaches another person to be invisible, who apparently is really important but I stopped watching before I figured out how. How's that for a run on sentence

But its still not as confusing as Lost, which I stopped watching also.

Aren't you forgetting the time-travelling, teleporting, now-I'm-a-nerd-but-I'll-have-a-kickass-samurai-sword Japanese guy ?  ;D

What can I say, it works for me. ( Granted, I had to watch the whole season back to back to make any sense of it, otherwise, I'd probably stop watching it too )

I can't say I find Heroes confusing at all. Although it seems to be a bit of an inbred bunch, they're all related to each other in some way.
