    @Wookie1972: Sorry. I also read your comment in 21's voice and it made me laugh.

    The Adultswim site has them up for a while (maybe a week) after the episode airs. #halloween

    No problem. The reason I use the picture of 21 as my avatar is to remind myself (and everyone else) not to take all this fanboy stuff so freaking seriously. Of course, I can't say I always follow that myself. #halloween

    I don't celebrate Halloween but since people ask all the time "What's your costume gonna be?", me and my sisters started to make up costumes. Last year, we were Red Sox fans (Just wore our hats). This year, she's "Under-Emotional Girl" and I'm Alternate Universe G-Juggler".

    *P.S. I think I lost my star. Can anyone help find it?

    No, Superman flies backwards in 'time' at near-light speeds to save Lois Lane.

    The Time Traveler's Wife and Mutual Masturbation? What? OK, I need answers:
    1/ Is there actually a scene in the book where the protagonist, Henry, goes back in time, and engages in some type of sexual act with himself?
    2/ And if so, PLEASE tell me this wasn't cut out of the movie.

    @DeltaGuy: Yeah, he sure does, in the book at least. I was disappointed the scene wasn't more, er, fleshed out. I actually polled my friends a couple of months ago, asking if they would have sex with an alternate self from another time: [docs.google.com] Turns out, most of them said yes.

    I think we all daydream about going back and meeting our younger selves, and maybe helping them avoid certain mistakes or situations. However...
    I think back to what I was like as a teenager, and I know for certain there is no way I'd listen to an older version of myself because at age 15 or so I knew everything, right?

    If I were to go back three years in the past, I'd warn my younger self not to keep watching heroes after the first season.
    And not to invest in real estate, but that was much more obvious at that time.

    The turn on the "Beat the Bully" lesson was in an episode of Sliders. Originally young Quinn used a bat to win the fight and broke his knees and regretted. When he went back in time he taught himself to box so he could win without the bat. Nice twist.
    I always felt I would go back in time and mess with myself. Maybe do the first ever rickroll.

    How interestingly coincidental that this very night I realized once again that I could use some time-traveling to my childhood, to change a few very important things. No, don't ask. I won't tell.

    Where's the Sam Vimes lesson from Night Watch?
    "That was always the dream, wasn't it? "I wish I'd known then what I know now?" But when you got older you found out that you now wasn't you then. You then was a twerp. You then was what you had to be to start out on the rocky road of becoming you now, and one of the rocky patches on that road was being a twerp."

    Forgot about Futurama's "Alls well that Roswell" episode where Fry goes back in time and becomes his own grandfather... or the "nasty in the pasty" as he calls it.

    I know my little brother would love The Man Who Folded Himself, but I'm too embarrassed to give it to him because of all the kinky sex in the book. I was totally not expecting that when I started reading it.
