You are cool enough for the Exclusive The Hero, The Question, Zev & C.F. Kane thread

[Zev]

Alright, time to update my list of men I would willingly have sex with:

Me too.

The Hero

Well, this is awkward.

Anyway, my sister got a puppy. Here is a picture.

Nothing makes you feel quite as invincible as a small dog fruitlessly gnawing on your big toe. Little does he know that to defeat me, he has to breach my external defenses and then shoot the flashing red spot.

"Flash: Say, what are you up to over there?
Batman: Oh, just putting my forehead on this baseball bat and spinning around as fast as possible. It's a detective thing, you wouldn't understand.
Flash: Dude, let me try that right now or I'll kill you."

This one kills me.

"The Flash acts like a chinaman and sets a building on fire.

Key Moment
Firemen: OH GOD WE'RE ON FIRE!
The Flash: Me so solly!
Firemen: HELP US!!!
The Flash: Me Chinese, ching chong ching chong!"

I keep telling the guys, those flashing red spots are a disaster waiting to happen. But do they listen to me?


Anyway, I made these over the downtime:

Sorry to take over the thread, but this is like an addiction now.

[The Question]

While I give this guy some credit for doing actual reaserch on Wicca, he still shows no real understanding of religions and philosophies other than his own.

 

[blud_knight]

well there is only one thing that can make this thread a little more akward.

there thats better.

 

[C.F. Kane]

While I give this guy some credit for doing actual reaserch on Wicca, he still shows no real understanding of religions and philosophies other than his own.

I find two things disturbing about that video

1. People think that reading Harry Potter will automatically make you Satanic

2. Someone was dumb enough to use the Buffy theme song over Charmed clips.

Do these people ever actually watch the shows they insult? I mean, the last season of Buffy was spent fighting a being who was the embodiment of all evil, and for four seasons Angel more or less worked for God. I they have a Tom Carder "sin is sin, regardless of the context" viewpoint. You would think they would be more offended by Willow's lesbianism. That's some thing the kids can try at home.

I love them railing on wicca's "feminist practices". They even took offense to "the sacrificial goddess magic of his mother's love".


Only Seanbaby can save us now!

 

[The Question]

2. Someone was dumb enough to use the Buffy theme song over Charmed clips.

I actually would have commented on the second, but I didn't know how to say it in a witty way.

Another thing that bugged me was when he mentioned that thousands of kids wear the lightning bold mark on their foreheads. My response was "Yeah. They're called temporary tatoos."


But all in all, what really disturbs me is how they seem to neglect the fact that the Harry Potter books give one of the most simplistic and inacurate portrayal of mysticism and spirituality I've seen in some time. If actual kids started getting into mysticism in the vein of Harry Potter, they wouldn't be preforming witchcraft. They'd be larping.

Really, if you think that becoming a Wiccan is going to turn you into a bad-ass special effects-fueled sorcerer, you have bigger problems.

Besides, possible harm could reading out of a bunch of bull**** spellbooks do, other than waste your time? Oh, right, you might become a feminist and start believing in an evil, non-male God.

Yeah. Speaking as someone who actually tried his hand at mysticism once (on the advice of none other than Grant Morrison), I must say that, at least on the amature level that I was working at and most stupid pre teens would be aswell, it's hardly as impressive as it looks on shows like Charmed.

 

[The Hero]

You tried to wank Bush out of office, didn't you?

 

[The Question]

You tried to wank Bush out of office, didn't you?

Hardly. If you must know, I, in my nature as a geeky loner, tried to conjur up the girl of my dreams.

 

[The Hero]

I think Morrison was having a little fun with you.

Seriously, though, the only time succumbing to peer pressure is acceptable is when it's by someone cooler than you. I'm 100% anti-drugs, but if Hunter S. Thompson's reanimated corpse asked me to shoot up with him, I would do it in an instant.

 

[The Question]

I think Morrison was having a little fun with you.

I wouldn't say that. Especially since it worked, albeit in a way that came back to bite me in the ass.

 

[The Hero]

Damn, I guess those Christian extremists were right, we really shouldn't be screwing with the dark arts.

 

[The Question]

Well, it seemed to be a bit of a Monkey's Paw scenario. You get what you want, but in the one way that you didn't want it. I just chalk it up to inexperience and lack of proper care on my part. And at least it was something relatively small.
