      idk if you know this. but that is not a skill.

      that is the harsh reality of some men on this planet.
      Not every man know what to say when and even the best slips up and falls on his face. Women, y u so complicated!

        women aren’t complicated at all, follow these simple steps:
        1: Be honest (about how you feel)
        2: lie your ass off (about what you want)
        3: Treat them like a goddess (but don’t spoil them)
        4: ask them out
        in that order

          Did…did you just suggest long-term friendzoning as a viable strategy to get women? Like seriously?

          The way I see it, “lying your ass off about what you want” = presenting yourself as a platonic friend when you have sexual designs = acting like, because you helped her move or whatever, she now owes you sex/a date. And it annoys every woman I know.

          Unless you are not suggesting friendzoning! Then I’m just confused.

            That doesn’t seem compatible with “be honest about how you feel,” though – I figured it was more what you want out of life. Although really I took the list as a joke “be honest, lie your ass off, treat her like a goddess but don’t spoil her, and by the way, actually ask her out”; the first two parentheticals just reflect under what circumstances the contradictory bits of advice are typically given.

                  Hay you guys, I think that we should rein it in. this constant jockeying for the worst pun has me equis-tioning whether we’re just stall-ing to avoid the tail end of this trail of thought. Its becoming a night-mare, and while I’m not one to nose in on anyone’s horsing around, but it’s time to be a stable influence and put this one out to pasture. You guys may cry with long faces “Neigh! We won’t let it die!” but at this point, it’s just getting my gallop.

      Well to be fair it is sort of dark. And more importantly she mussed up her hair – how could anybody recognize that?

      …Naah. The *actual* explanation is that when he looks at Amber, all he sees are those sexy sexy glasses. Beyond that there’s a sort of vaguely Dorothy-like silhouette, but really, all he’s seeing are those hawt sexy glasses. (It’s sort of a ‘my tits are down here’ thing.)

    Amazi-Girl is lucky that Danny is about as dense as a neutron star, because her attempt to hide her secret identity is about as transparent as Ed Wood’s attempt to hide the fact that Bela Lugosi was dead prior to shooting Plan 9 From Outer Space.

          and just like that Yoto realized that Hitler is a foreshortened anagram of a combination of hilarity and disaster….apropriate.

    The emphasis on the word ‘SILLY’ is not entirely justified. I choose to interpret this as foreshadowing of a Sal/Billie relationship.

    On a more relevant note, it appears that Amazi-Girl will just have to date Danny, causing him great confusion, since she just rejected him a moment ago. He will dismiss this confusing circumstance, just as he dismisses certain similarities between Amazi-Girl and Amber.

    Alternatively, Danny will burst out laughing and say “I’m joking! I knew that you and Amber were the same person all along!” At this point he will be punched in the face by Amazi-Girl (regardless of whether she is or is not Amber), in an ironic twist after his earlier conversation with Tony.

    Amazigirl knows she should beat him up for trying to con an innocent frat boy so that Amber can nurse him back to health…. What? Don’t look at me like that if my Heroes blurred the lines of morality any further I’d be writing a bible or something similiar.
