Let's face it, most of the characters in _Invader Zim_ are lusers. Only Gaz and Ms. Bitters have any touch of the BOFH about them, to my eye. Zim's a luser, Gir's a luser, Dib's a luser, the Tallest are lusers. But they're lusers portrayed as a BOFH would portray them, which is what makes the show fun. -- Steve VanDevender "I ride the big iron" http://jcomm.uoregon.edu/~stevev stevev@hexadecimal.uoregon.edu PGP keyprint 4AD7AF61F0B9DE87 522902969C0A7EE8 Little things break, circuitry burns / Time flies while my little world turns Every day comes, every day goes / 100 years and nobody shows -- Happy Rhodes
