[BlackLantern]

it went ok....we're going out again this thur or fri...waiting on her to get back to me

 

[TheCorpulent1]

expand your horizons, lazy ass

That's ******ed. It's not like I've never seen football in my life or anything. I'm familiar with the game and it does absolutely nothing for me. Hence: f*** the Superbowl, I just wants me some ads.

Yeah, I've never really seen the appeal to American Football myself. I'm not a sports person in general or anything, but I can see how some sports may have a degree of appeal to some people, but I never got what the fuss was for that one.

 

[BlackLantern]

whatever....it still boggles the mind how the fandom sneers at pro sports, yet follow a medium that showcases near perfect athletic specimens

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't have anything against pro sports. I'm just not interested in them. I do watch some football and basketball games when I'm at my sister's, but I just don't care enough to follow them regularly.

 

[Tron Bonne]

That ol' fandom

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I find it funny how defensive Blanty's getting over it. I mentioned I wanted to see a couple of the Superbowl's ads and he's all, "BLAAAAAARGHWATCHSPORTS, FATTY!"

 

[BlackLantern]

I have my friends who like sports and give me **** about my comic loving and my comics friends who give me **** about my sports loving

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, there's your problem. Not having friends is the way to go.

 

[BlackLantern]

or just stop talking to them about that stuff

 

[Tron Bonne]

Almost everyone I know who reads American comics watches football. In my LCS last week the owner was talking with three regulars segueing between who'd win at the Superbowl, The X-Men film continuity, Captain America spoilers, and Steve Martin.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

My comic shop also trades sports cards and stuff, so the clientele on any given day seems to be pretty evenly split between comic fans and sports fans.

or just stop talking to them about that stuff

Or that, if you want to be boring.

 

[BlackLantern]

I'm fine with being boring, it's actually what I strive for most days

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't have to strive, it comes naturally to me.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Don't worry, I'm interesting enough for all three of us

so do the anime/manga readers watch sports?

 

[Tron Bonne]

I couldn't say all that much, really. I only know two other people beside myself that read manga and watch anime regularly. One of them does casually, but only during the big events, and I didn't know the other one that well.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I randomly watched the ending of "Not Fade Away" again just now. Angel was so good.

Lorne: You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be.
Lindsey: You kill me? A flunkie?! Uh-uh... Angel kills me! Angel...
Lorne: ... Good night, folks.

 

[BlackLantern]

I always liked Lindsey....that whole driven, upwardly mobile, snake in the grass

but he is 10x cooler as Elliot Spencer

Two Words. . . . .

PUPPET CANCER

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I loved Lindsey. He's the perfect villainous foil for Angel: Angel is constantly on the edge of being consumed by his own darkness, but ultimately the good wins. Lindsey has bits of goodness and a functioning conscience, but ultimately the bad wins.

 

[BlackLantern]

I do not have puppet cancer!!!

 

[Hiddensymbols]

I remember me and my friends watched it every night we burned through the whole show in like 2 weeks. Good times.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Puppet cancer :/
