Mazerino the Hero (continued)

I can afford to take cabs everywhere (see proof to the right), but I am a man of the people. So I was riding the northbound 151 on Saturday. To my surprise and delight, I heard "Sylar (chuckle)." Back in C&E's infancy when we were posting on a regular basis and Fadilicious was still sort of a contributor, I wrote this post about how people kept telling me I looked like Sylar from Heroes. One person in particular was a jovial CTA bus driver. When I looked up at my admirer (no homo), I immediately recognized my biggest fan behind the wheel. What are the odds? Here's how the conversation went:

Driver: "You look like Sylar. Anybody ever tell you that?"
Me: "Yea, I know, I remember you"
Driver: laughs and laughs and laughs..."Oh I told you that before? I hear they're coming back"

Because I watch massive amounts of television, I know that Heroes is coming back this fall and it will prominently feature Sylar as the theme this season is "Villains" (Heroes premieres Monday, September 22 at 9/8 central...give me money, NBC).

Me: "Yes, and the theme is Villains."
Driver: "Oh, yea? I'll have to check that out."

At this point, I have nothing more to say, and the bus is crowded. Also, I'm pinned up front by families of idiot tourists who don't know how to move to the back of the bus.

Me: "Crowded bus tonight, eh?"
Driver: "Yep."

Damnit, that didn't work. And just like that exchange, I have no logical conclusion to this post. So, I'll just end things here.
