That looks too photoshopped.

It is. Its 4 images shopped together!

I just finished watching Witchblade and the last few episodes are some of the saddest, most depressing things ever. It was amazing and emotionally draining in ways I would not have expected from the show before I actually started watching it. It's just so damn sad. Now I've got the sniffles.

I expected that show to be a gratuitous fleshfest like Queen's Blade and gave it a pass.

Not really. Witchblade was a pretty heartwarming show about family, with a mom that's constantly sexualized in her normal identity and especially so in her superheroine mode.

Thing is, its Witchblade, so you'll go several episodes without the superhero stuff and more with the comedy and drama.

I actually find Queen's Blade amusing because it tries to take itself seriously. That and its refreshing to see an anime that takes care of Rule 34 on its own. They do it so now the fans can't go there. If more shows did that, Google searches would be so much safer for wallpapers.

I might check it out then. Queen's Blade seems like it could be quite decent if it would focus a little. If it wants to be a hentai then it needs to deliver the goods. If it wants me to take its fight scenes and characters seriously then their clothing needs to stop exploding off of their bodies.

Just like most hentai.

I am convinced the bathroom at work is haunted.

I usually use the stall at the end (the handicapped one) because it's the only one with a mirror and I can't resist the urge to examine my face for blackheads whenever I'm in the bathroom. Obviously I'd rather do this without the prying eyes of anyone else who might be using the restroom at the time.

Anyway.

I'll often hear the door open and footsteps walking in, but after I've done my business and walk out of the bathroom, I'll walk past all of the stalls and none will be occupied. If they'd finished before me, I'd hear the toilet flushing, (hopefully) water running while they wash their hands, footsteps out the door, and the door opening a second time.

I hear none of these things. The door is not silent, there is no way to sneak out of the bathroom if I hear you come in. So what the fuck mate.

There are also times when I'm in the stall and I know that there is no one in the bathroom with me and that no one has come in, and the automatic paper towel dispensers will dispense paper. They are motion activated - and require you to be like an inch in front of the damn thing. This is creepy as fucking hell.

There is apparently a ghost at Coke who needs to pee a lot and likes using the motion-activated paper towel dispensers.

I feel asleep on the train and missed my stop to college. I ended up a few hundred miles away at the end of the line in Hollyhead.

Thank God my ticket was still valid.

Well, occasionally the janitorial people will want to clean the bathroom, but will only do so if there's nobody in it, so they walk in and check. But the dispenser thing, that's 100% ghost. Fact.

The house my GFF lives in is believed to be haunted. People will occasionally hear foot steps in the house and the sound of marbles dropping and hitting the floor in the office. I haven't experienced this myself, but I'll occasionally see the cat freak out for no reason and blow the doors off of whatever room she's in.

Yeah, but I'd hear the door opening when they walk back out. And usually they just knock on the door (since they're mostly guys) and ask, "Anyone in here?" They won't walk all the way in to look, for obvious reasons.

Haunted houses scare the crap out of me. I'll watch those haunting shows on Discovery or whatever and I have to consciously remember to turn them off when it gets to be dark or else I'll have nightmares. I've been in a few haunted places and I honestly don't know how anyone could live in a place like that. Maybe they're just the type of people who have no sense of the spiritual world - not me. I do have a sense for spiritual activity. Not like psychic or anything, but I just can kind of sense when there's something supernatural nearby. I felt that a lot in my mom's house, but she just thought I was crazy. "Go the attic? Are you insane?"

Thankfully, my apartment doesn't give me that sense. First thing I check for when I'm looking at new places, though. If I get a sense, no fucking thanks, not moving there.

Well at least your sitting on the porceline and in the right place if you shit yourself because of it.


automatic paper towel dispensor? ..... how lazy!

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

They're meant to be more hygienic, since you don't have to touch a handle to get your paper towels. And you have to wave your hand in front of it, so it's not totally lazy. They're super sensitive and I literally have to put my hand an inch away from the thing to get it to activate.
