Revision as of 03:05, 7 November 2012

Welcome to the one and only AIENTKITFLOEWCTRWILFSEL page! The only page on the net where the title is a run-on sentence! Well, that's not really true, but it's the only page whose title is a run-on sentence that doesn't suck! Although again, that might be subject for debate. Look, just start reading before I make myself look like even more of an idiot, OK? Although I really don't think I have any sort of claim to sanity after making something like this. It is a little difficult to make a list of definitive laws about a series where, in order to maintain honesty, any statement must be ended with an "I think." As in "Lain made all their memories go away... I think," or "The game the kids were all playing actually was important... I think." Still, for better or worse, here it is.


1) Sometimes, the only thing worse than being depressed and alone is NOT being depressed and alone.

2) Hip clubs can be more trouble than they're worth.

3) Drugs are bad. Especially if they look like machines.

4) Playing tag can be a REALLY bad idea.

5) Computers are cool. Big computers are cooler. Computers that fill an entire room are beyond cool.

6) They aren't your real parents.

7) She isn't your real sister (especially if she does nothing but make modem noises).

8) There is only one me, and I am me.

12) God is also in five pieces and held together with duct-tape.

13) If you visit your friend's house for the first time and everything is covered with blood, cords, and water, get the hell out of there before God decides to try and kick your ass.

14) Wherever we go, we'll always be connected.

15) Sometimes there isn't anywhere on Earth you can run to.

16) The Knights are evil. Very evil. They look down womens skirts! And they play videogames with their children! Evil evil!

17) Kids in bars know everything about computers. And they're always at the same table. Just accept that.

18) Evil twins can totally screw up your social life.

19) But it's OK, because you can just make everyone forget it ever happened.

20) When outside, shadows are made up of a weird splotchy red pattern. However, normal people can't see it. Simply accept this.

22) The only certain thing in "life" is that teddy bear pajamas will never go out of style.

23) When entertaining guests, take the wires off your lip.

24) "I love you" is just another way of saying "Goodbye, this never happened."

31) We are all software. Even worse, we're all freeware with no warranty, no manual, and an interface that even God has a hard time using.

32) If you're gonna die, make sure to send emails out about how you're not really dead.

33) If you see MIB standing outside your house, be afraid.

34) Accept that you're everywhere and know everything. It'll make things a lot easier when God tells you later in a mirc-esque chat..

35) Never accept mail from strangers.

36) Reality is just like the wired, minus the computer.

37) Don't try to kill your twin, it usually won't work.

39) If you need a new computer, don’t worry about it because the company will almost immediately send you the newest model.

40) If the telephone lines start dripping blood, be concerned.

41) Don't be so quick to tell someone "We're all connected".

42) Don't stick computer parts in your mouth, especially if they erase your memory.

48) Don’t be judgmental; everyone is connected (So the guy who picks his nose in gym class is a part of you...EEWW!)
