They write comic books? about someone in real life?

This story can only end in parody. and monkey-brains being eaten by Toothgnip.

Heroes is fun, but it's not the sort of thing I would parody. It's a pastiche of superhero cliches, it's much more fun to go back to the original source of those cliches and then play with that.

The best thing about that show is Hiro, that alone keeps me watching.

It'll never work, think of the scale - think of the effects - think of the children!

I would say that somewhere along the line I hinted more on Spaceballs, which proved correct in a way: they're going to search Phillip by [b]reading the book[/b]!!!

The convention itself is a take on Star Trek conventions, but that is very obvious (like the George Takei appearance).

The odds of Jon modelling this after a Star Trek convention are considerably slimer than the odds of him modelling this after a Comic Book convention.

The difference is left as an exercise to the reader [brunching.com].

On the gripping hand, I'm glad I'm not going to be chainsawed again.

Did you get chainsawed? I thought that was just Deerboy [goats.com] and Gav [goats.com] who were identifiably chainsawed.

On the other gripping hand, you did have to fellate 73 cows [goats.com] that one time.

Gav was clearly axed, not chainsawed.

I'm sure whatever fate befell me, off screen, it was entirely horrible.

As for the cows, that's clearly an other dimensional Zamphir. So it don't count.

Whatever contrived sequence of events was required to ensure that was this-dimensional-zamphir, consider it to have occurred.

+1 horribly convoluted syntax.

I always thought you were a rather one-dimensional character.

Is that an anti-fat joke?

Fat implies at least 2 dimensions..., but then again, I haven't read Flatland in a while.
