A man of no surprises
« on: July 25, 2007, 12:45:15 AM »
Apparently one never knows when/where a DS fan will show up next or under what circumstances they'll declare their love of the show. Check out: A man of no surprises

Are we surprised he and his family would love DS? Well, of course not.  ;)

You never know where we'll show up, do you?
I get a kick out of these guys who think they're so clean, when all the time they're trying to cover up their dirt.

I would comment except that partway through the article I died from boredom and became a boredom vampire feasting on the boredom of others.

Okay, but not so much a declaration as a passing grunt.    And a guy who's building his identity on being forgettable is listing DS amongst his "passions"... well, as long as he likes it I guess....

Well, he might think there are are no surprises in his life, but as the article sums him up, "it looks like Allan Peterson might just end up being a person of surprises after all." Sometimes people are more interesting than they give themselves credit for, and the author of the article found that to be the case with Peterson - and his love for DS contributed to that.  ;)

The striking thing is, he thinks enough of Dark Shadows to mention it to an interviewer. It obviously is a passion for him. I think it's totally cool!
