Afishionados,

Holy crap I just found out tonight that HEROES season one is available on DVD now. I found it at Wal-Mart while I made a mad dash for some coax cable. So go get it while it’s still on sale (the DVD, not the coax cable). It’s one of the best television shows on right now (which, depending on your point of view, may not be saying a whole lot).

The plot in a nutshell is this: An eclipse of the earth leads various people all over the world to suddenly discover that they haver super powers. Most people have just one specific ability, but there are exceptions to the rules :-X. These “heroes” must come together to stop a mysterious villain and to save the world from a nuclear attack that takes place in the future.

It may sound corny, and honestly, it is a little. But come on, what super hero story isn’t cheesy? If you like LOST but are turned off by the way that you simply MUST watch every episode in order to keep up with its enigmatic plot, then HEROES is for you. It’s got the same kinda “What the FUCK is going on here?” sense to it, but, for the most part, you get your answers sooner than later.

This is one of my favorite shows, and it’s refreshing to see a series as awesome as this hit the airwaves to “compete; with so many atrocious reality TV programs.

Four-and-a-Half really tight Tights out of Five.

If you¹ still need a reason to see HEROES, Hayden Panettiere is now 18 years old. Woo hoo!

Afishionados,

I took this photo with my iPhone at Wal-Mart tonight. It’s subtle, but I think something is wrong here…

I apologize for the poor quality photo, but I didn’t realize it came out blurry when I took it. Another amazing observation/discovery at Wal-Mart. It seems I see enough weird things at Wal-Mart to give it it’s own category.

Anyway, the Superman logo is what caught my attention. What is it about Rice-a-roni that it warrants an endorsement from the Man of Steel? I can tell you that if I was Superman, I sure as hell wouldn’t eat Rice-a-roni. I mean, come on! The guy can shoot fire from his eyes! Why not fly to Kansas and burn a cow or something? The guy can move faster than a train, and all he has time for is fucking Rice-a-roni?

Spent an absolutely wild night at Walmart a few days ago. I spent $9.73 on the coolest game I’ve ever played. It’s quite possibly the best $9.73 I’ve ever spent at Wal-Mart. I recently heard about a game called 20Q. It’s amazing. You think of something (like an animal, vegetable, mineral, or “other”) and the machine will try to guess what you’re thinking in 20 (relatively vague, no less) questions. Sometimes it takes the game 25 (which is the maximum amount it will guess), but it almost always gets it right! It’s amazing! Carnac the Magnificent would be proud.

Things I’ve discovered that 20Q knows: submarine, banana pepper, urethra, fart
One thing that 20Q does not know: condom

The web site version is okay but it asks more detailed questions than the handheld yo-yo sized version. So do yourself a favor and pick this sucker up. It’s the most fun you’ll have by yourself with the palm of your hand since, well, the urethra.
