I would've suggested you throw a snowball, but since you're there in Summer, I had to be more creative.

Mormon scriptures. It's like Expanded Universe for the Bible. This is literally the most condensed version of the answer I can give you.
But did you do it WHILE TEXTING!? It's a $75 dollar fine!
Thought about it for 10 seconds, my man you right bout that!
70's Mio is clearly the best.

...I'm totally going to use that line at least ONCE on my mission ahahaha.
I was texting throwing snowballs AND wearing shorts on campus
oh me oh my
There's a more badass blue version of Lucifer?

This reminds me, if you're a Mormon missionary, a Jehovah's Witness or the NHK collector, please don't fucking ring my doorbell while I am taking a nap. I am very easily startled and falling from my bed might cause death.
Oh NO! I'm proper scandalized, I am! But did you also touch a girl on the body? DUN DUN DUN!
All I can say is that I promise there are no clones involved.

"Today in Sunday School, we're going to talk about the Yuuzhan Vong invasion..."
You're in luck for one of those things! LDS missionaries won't knock on doors anymore as of... I dunno like a month ago. I think?
We were out past midnight. And it wasn't Friday.
In fairness, it's hard to know someone is sleeping when they're behind a wall. That said, I didn't particularly enjoy knocking on doors for this very reason. The best day though was the day as a Missionary when the Jehovah's Witnesses came to our house. Two teenage girls come and knock on the door of a house where (we had company over) like, ten twenty year old dudes are, and then you add that.
Wait, I definitely didn't get that aspect out of that meeting.
One thing I miss about being in the big city is the probability of someone randomly knocking on your door to preach is pretty low. These people are relentless. Feigning ignorance at what they're saying only encourages them to talk more -_-
I'd say put out a sign, but we have one at my house and folks always think they're the exception to it. Boggles the mind.
hahaha, da fuck is this. And Xephon shits over Eureka 7, still the best thing Bones has done.
I'm imagining this encounter to be something like in Back to the Future when both selves meet and causes a time paradox.
Minus the part where E7 is hilariously better than Xephon, and also happens to not be you know, plagiarising NGE every last episode. Rah Xephon can't even be its own show, let alone better than another one.
It's more like one a bigger cat and a scrappier cat meet in a small alley and just kinda back away from each other. Tense, amusing, and ultimately uneventful.

You didn't finish RahXephon, did you. They may have been somewhat inspired by NGE, but RahXephon is very much its own show overall, and it's a quite good one (unlike E7. which is average).
The worst time was when one Jehovah's Witness missionary came to my door with his son... who is a student at my school.
Awkward.

"I'm going to bed"
Oh wow, By Common Consent got a huge makeover.
...I was sorta falling asleep during that portion of the meeting (which was funny because it's kinda the biggest news) and someone else told me that.
GAH. Rewatching the broadcast tells me you're right, they're more or less just deprioritizing it (which is kinda what was starting to happen anyway)
Yeah but to the point of having the same exact enemies? I mean that zebra striped sphere that the actual foe is the shadow underneath it and it sucks Ayato into it and he goes into an introspective dream world is ripped directly from Evangelion. Like not even an attempt to hide that is made. It's the same exact episode. Not an episode with similar thematic elements even. It's the same thing.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Did you have to let them in at that point? I always want to get away from them as soon as possible but I get very embarassed about being rude so I keep repeating "Sorry" as I close the door.
Dude... just stop please, this argument was embarrassing for people in 2002 when the "I saw Eva do it first so it must have invented it" mindset was running riot. It's not exactly a good look in 2013.
My broseph, if you just not hating Minmei ;____;
I watched 15 episodes of it and saw nothing but plagiarism. I cannot imagine that the remaining 10 would significantly alter this.
It makes sense when you think about it. How am I gonna proselyte in places where the internet is still like, nonexistent? Gotta pound the pavement and all that.
At least I have an argument. You have what? "Xephon shits over Eureka Seven"? That sort of stuff is better suited for a bathroom stall than a forum, methinks.

Yeah, that's what I thought. You thought wrong.
Can't wait for your roommate impressions of ep 4.
Hey man, maybe we're wrong, I mean remember that part in Eva where Shinji summons his Eva unit by shouting out its name?
And Minmei DYRL version was way better than the tv, nothing but the truth.
Yeah and you're wrong on both account.

This is actually good news to me, because honestly I'm really looking forward to being mostly disconnected.
God, this is why, no matter how much people tell me not to, I make sure to finish bull shit series like Gundam AGE, 00, and SAO. So that I don't have people telling me I'm wrong just because I dropped a piece of shit for stinking after 15 episodes.
I am not. I absolutely am not. There are Mulians in Rah Xephon that are literally the exact same enemy as in Evangelion.
EAT CASHEW, DEVOUR CASHEW!

I'll admit that this got me. I thought I was done with spit-takes being funny, but I guess not. lol
Also, this is the sound of SDBurton's fake-yuri heart breaking.
Your argument is wrong though, and most people prefer RahXephon to Eureka 7, a series that didn't even get out of mere mediocrity until characters bearing the name of a blind soul singer blessed the show.
I remember Rahxephon unit 2-3 as well, Fuck the tsundere teammate.. oh wait.
Also its so great the theme is about adolescence.
Your argument is now "More people like X than Y". Which isn't even an argument or related to the argument we were having.
Stevie Wonder liked Eureka 7?

Me: "Oh come on. I put up with Les Miserables earlier today for the nth time."
UCR: "...Touche"
Luckily, they were only there to hand out fliers for that Jehova's Witnesses Easter thing they do worldwide, so they weren't doing the full hard sell. I just took the paper and said I'd think about it. Then I just didn't go.
Usually, if I hear them out through the first part and tell them I'm not interested, they go away.
I like how Eva was also inspired by Raideen, Megazone 23 and the sci-fi short story The Dandelion Girl.
Oh oh but wait they have a similar monster of the week even though for the most part they mean fuck all for both shows.
Yeah true, won't waste any more time, amazed there was no caplocks.
C'mon son.
Ray Charles.
Have you ever tried feigning not being able to understand Japanese? Don't do that because they'll come back and bring someone who speaks English >_>
Of course, the Angel in Eva resembling some sort of faction right? not just apocalypse bringer.
Eva also have time abnormality as key plot point.
Whatever bro maybe I just like if Eva actually about Misato reaching his ex.
There's no reason to be petty.
Inspired by is fine, but I find it hard to believe people watched Rah Xephon and didn't see that there was at the very least a copious amount of things in that show that were "inspired" by Evangelion.
Homophobe is one of the roommates I had last semester. He told me this story about how he punched a guy in his High School for kissing another guy, and, when I expressed my horror, he said "I call it reverse psychology." To which I remarked, "That's called a hate crime."
Dude is clearly jerking it to Hugh Jackman in shame and in secret.
Also, you should watch Utena.
It's like when Black Americans were encouraged to be equal citizens by Jim Crow and the KKK.
