Not very good Subway porn though. I mean you'd probably have to work pretty hard at feeling guilty about someone catching you looking at a short video of a fully clothed woman eating a sandwich. As long as you were only looking at it.

Uh oh, that's a bunch of replies to me in the last few hours, wt. You're not strolling through my comments in my profile are you? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say it's just chance.
I never said I disliked Flock of Seagulls, did I? I even gave him a chubby. If someone told me they liked Flock of Seagulls, I'd say "OK." I'm neither here nor there on the matter.
I'm not out here to rant and rave on music; me occassionally ragging on someone's musical taste is no different than someone else ragging on South Park or Questionable Content a little; I'm not out to bury someone, just having a bit of fun. I would hazard a guess that a relatively minimal amount of my posts deal with musical opinion in a negative light.
If you are going through my comments, by any chance, would you mind counting them up and giving me an accurate percentage?
Cheers.

The fact that Liebot totally told the truth, and did so in a good way that Vlad can accept more easily? That was the awesome icing on an awsome cake. (No naked women were near this cake).

Vlad is my favorite character. He's just so passionate! He puts his whole heart into everything he does. Completely destroys Pat's reputation to run the undisputed Subway in the place. Gets the Taxi Driver haircut and fights Lyle to support his friends in the GOF. Goes door to door and aggressively sells relgious paraphenalia. And the speech he delivered when they threw out the couch? Epic.
Vlad came to this country looking for a better life, to live it to the fullest. Nothing is half-assed in the life of the Makeout King.

Could there be a Lie Bot flow chart? I always thought he was non-deterministic. Then again, that really isn't a problem for the Achewood flow charts. Hmm.
Liebot's flowchart would just be a box with the word LIE in it.
True!
You can make flowcharts for non-deterministic processes. You just branch 'em.
I actually think that what he said was a lie, that Andy and Vlad are good friends. I'm just so inclined to believe that LieBot can only lie.
Its pretty simple. When the Truth hurts more, LieBot tells it.
Not always.
It actually is a lie--you'll notice he says "what I'm hearing is..." But that is not the truth. Liebot is not listening at all.
chubby.
i hadn't laughed for an hour.
Liebot doesn't even have ears.
I don't know why everyone assumes Lie Bot can only lie. I've always thought he just lies a lot . Like, to the point where he's named after it. But if it doesn't benefit him, or amuse him, to lie, then maybe he just doesn't.
Lie Bot doesn't usually lie to other robots, I've noticed.
