OT: Anyone Seen Ben X? Joke's On Me...

Ben X · **on:** April 23, 2009, 02:34:46 AM

So when I went to make my screen name, I wanted to just use my name, but it was taken so I had to add something to the end, and I wanted to keep it short. I figured "X" sounded cool and went with that, but I never thought to google it or anything. Today out of curiosity I did just that, only to discover there was a 2007 film by the name of "Ben X" about what else, a mentally challenged teenager who enjoys role playing games

I thought it was funny that I had not heard of it, but apparently it was more of a European thing. So I'm wondering now, is the joke on me and all you Brits thought I was referring to Ben X with my username?

I thought it might have been a Ben 10 reference. After all, the only tool more useful than a SAK is an Omnitrix.

Trust me if they had thought of the reference they would have let you known by now

Me I would have thought like turbov and thought more of the Ben 10 thing

but it never occurred to me until you put this thread up

What are you saying about us

No I've not heard of the film. I have a six year old who's mortified by even mild peril on TV so I don't have to suffer the delights of Ben 10. Also means I don't get to watch any cool films with him

Get him in to Storm Hawk's or Quest as the violence is quite humouress rather than scary

...or take him out to the farm, to prepare a fresh chicken dinner, start to finish.

Wasn't this a thread on how to induce vegetarianism in children?

Phineas & Ferb! Very mild violence wise, but very entertaning.
