WOI - 0026: THANATOPSIS
[ Panel 1 ]
GENTLEMAN 2: I had another dream last night...
:: Old man time turns the hand of a clock to twelve while watching over the children of the world. They lead own their lives to but walk toward their pre-detirmined time of death. Only he knows the schedule and only he can insure they meet their demise on time. ::
GENTLEMAN 2: Everyone was dead.
[ Panel 2 ]
GENTLEMAN 1: What’s with your fascination with THANATOPSIS?
GENTLEMAN 2: It’s not a fascination really, I think it’s more of an acceptance of the fact that we all die one day.
[ Panel 3 ]
GENTLEMAN 1: Seriously John, everything with you is a glass half full...
GENTLEMAN 2: That’s only because the FIRST half was full of POISON.

i read thanatopsis in my ever present youth, a powerful poem that haunts me to this day.no literally the book became enchanted book that follows me everywhere. its quite annoying when it comes to pleasing my self. kinda hard when im being watched
… … …When it looks at you, do you see eye(s)? … … … Can I burrow this book for an ex?On topic, I had a cat that used to give me the creepy eepy stare, it was a black cat with green eyes. Some of the horror went out the window when you notice the left one was cockeyed.
Aw man, I LOVE Disqus. It’s awesome how it can link all of my comments in different places for me. It’s also kind of scary, I love to just cut loose and have fun online, but IRL stays in IRL. I won’t be using half of the features included in it just for privacy reasons. Still, this is awesome!
You couldn’t delete your comments before either… i don’t think anyway.
Yeah, but I was kind of hoping I would be able to under Disqus, you know for those cases where I screw up and reply in the wrong thread. At least I can edit now!
I think the other service I considered (Intense Debate) had something like that and it also had a Dislike button as well… but the damn thing was just ugly. heh.
I didn’t even know it was a poem until I read the definition of this joke. If it’s about death, I should check it out. :]
Disqus, eh? we’ll see what’s up
Maybe we’ll use the Twitter log in…
I like that it has options where you can login to different services to comment.
Huh, Disqus now eh? Are you going to switch over LAWLS as well?
I’m trying it out here first, see if I like it and then maybe use it over there. As it stands i like the look and feel of this better, but I’m not 100% sold on it just yet. I’ve noticed more and more of my friends are using it, so why not give people the option to sign up with other networking services you know? What are your thoughts on it?
Not bad, not bad at all. I actually like the idea of using Disqus, easier than dealing with Gravatar and worrying if I misspell my name or e-mail. I think this could be a good thing.
I like that when you login to your Disqus account you can track responses at any sites you’ve commented on. Makes it even easier to find your way back to sites you like.
