Who is watching the slowtwitchers?

Watched the movie the Watchmen. Couldn’t help but notice the similarities between slowtwitchers (triathletes) and the Watchmen (crime fighters/superheros).

The Watchmen hide behind a mask and only a few people know their ture identity. We hide behind our usernames and I wouldn’t know most of you if I ran into you in the street.

The only friends the Watchmen have are other superheros. Most triathletes hang around other triathletes.

The Watchmen have cool outfits and headgear. Triathletes like to wear tight suits, funky helmets and eyewear.

The Watchmen are into their gear and name their vehicles. How many of us name our bikes and tinker endlessly in the basement on them.

The Watchmen have their supreme being (Dr. Manhattan). We have slowman.

The Watchmen are self absorbed, egotistical jerks that think they know everything. Triathletes…

So what I want to know is…

WHO IS WATCHING THE SLOWTWITCHERS?

P.S. That is cappuccino flavored gel, not blood. I faint at the sight of blood so I’m no superhero.
P.P.S I know some of you won’t get this. I am just trying to have fun.

Good one!

Haven’t seen the movie yet, but it is on the short list (not easy to convince my wife to see these kinds of movies … and comparison to slowtwitch/triathletes surely won’t help either!)

:wink:

There was a cool guerrilla marketing going on about “Who is watching the Watchmen?”

This was most likely done by fans, at least in part.

But yes “Who is watching the slowtwitchers?”

Three of us in this house laughing our asses off at that post.

Cappuccino flavored gel . . . heh heh.

The Watchmen are self absorbed, egotistical jerks that think they know everything. Triathletes…

Go to any runner’s forum and you’ll be able to complete that sentence. ; ^ )

It was a pretty good movie, even if it was a bit longer than it could have been. Ending dragged a bit, but was good “That was always the difference between us, I never compromised even in the face of Armageddon.” OR something to that effect.

Just finished the book.
Funny post, good job on the logo w/cappucino!

This thread has changed my mind now I am going to have to see this movie
.

I dunno, I think I liked the post better than the movie.

See it, the movie is good…

Notice how you never see Slowman and Dr. Manhattan in the same room together.
Just sayin.

That’s weird. I wonder why he chose blue for the logo? He should have it tattooed on his forehead.
