If that's true, it might explain why Benjamin Franklin was "inspired" to become such a playboy.

The Greek gods were basically just debauched millionaire Playboys.

Ben Franklin is one of the illegitimate children of Zeus. It explains so much.

And the goddesses their furious wives and #yoloswag mistresses.

This fall, Housewives of Olympus

Cajungal · Oct 27, 2014

Every other episode would be Hera trying to kill somebody.

Celt Z · Oct 27, 2014

So, the usual Housewives show, then?

Chad Sexington · Oct 27, 2014

It's too bad this isn't then nineties and there wouldn't be A Very Special Episode. You could have Artemis defending the virtues of abstinence by turning her suitors into boars and murdering them.

Is that Zeus and Hera, or Steinman and Mrs Steinman?

Well, you do never see both of them together...

It doesn't surprise me, but there are already a half-dozen or more Youtube videos made of this concept.

What sort of knucklehead loads up the front desk computer with malware the day before the franchise inspection?

PDB syndrome strikes again. As in I'm the Poor Dumb Bastard that has to clean that mess up.

So I learned a week ago that mild dyslexia runs in the family. Weird, all those times I misread words I thought I was just dizzy!

GasBandit · Oct 28, 2014

So apparently this is what Kevin Smith looks like without a beard.

Yoshimickster · Oct 28, 2014

It's like he cut off half his face!

Celt Z · Oct 28, 2014

Following the link, it's the additional conversation that really makes it.

Also, what the hell?!? It's like seeing Silent Bob naked. Chin naked, at least.
(He does look goofy as all get-out.)

Adam · Oct 28, 2014

He looks like Hank Azaria now.

fade · Oct 28, 2014

Man, he dropped about 20 years. Though I'm guessing being in better shape helped out with that a lot too.[DOUBLEPOST=1414518767,1414518710][/DOUBLEPOST]

Haha, seriously though what's the cipher?

PatrThom · Oct 28, 2014

Well, assuming it's ciphertext, it's not a Caesar cipher.
Doesn't appear to be a Vignere, either.

Adam · Oct 28, 2014

Not ROT13. Not rotation. maybe a non-english cryptogram?

Tried yoshimickster, fade, halforums, and dyslexia for pass phrases, nothin'! GRAH I know I saw the decoded form of 'cjej' before!

He looks like the gym teacher at my kids' school. She doesn't have lip stubble though.

After I failed with Caesar and Vignere, I just assumed it was semirandom text.

I've noticed a form of mild sexism with regards to girl's halloween costumes: people seem to be more concerned when a Disney princess du jour costume is repeated a lot, yet I guarantee there will be 5 Batmen to every Elsa. Just like the last 20 years I've been giving out candy.

Celt Z · Oct 29, 2014

Make that "Joker at whatever-Con" and you've got the adult version.
