News, but not the serious kind
It takes lots of plastic to be the Man of Steel
Blog Guy, who’s your favorite superhero? Mine is Superman. I love the whole story of being sent here in a rocket from the planet Krypton by his scientist father, Jor-El, and how he….
Right! I love that, too. And the rocket landing in the Philippines, and…
Er, no, he was raised by the kindly Kents, and…
And then he disguised himself by…
By wearing a business suit and a snap-brim hat and glasses, and…
No, by having plastic surgery on his nose, cheeks, lips, chin and thighs, and changed his skin color, and…
It’s me! Please! It’s really me!
Blog Guy, I heard a weird rumor from my barista’s used car dealer.
What are the chances of that? What did he say?
You know the Wonder Woman character from the comic books?
He said Wonder Woman got really rich from those stories over the years, but went sort of crazy, and that now a comic book cartel is keeping her under wraps to avoid bad publicity.
Now she lives as a glamorous recluse in her own little world, trying to convince strangers of her true identity by showing old sketches of herself.
I’m listening. Go on.
fwd079, I wonder how you’d take a Duchess with Golden Globes. I think this is the closest you can get:

Only problem is, it was a male that ended up with a Golden Globe.
Mystery brunette with Prince William?
Blog Guy, I’m confused. I was walking past a toy shop in London and I saw a doll that looked like Prince William.
He was packaged with a female doll dressed as a bride. She looked vaguely familiar, but I couldn’t place her.
Ah, she looks like that Hollywood actress, Minnie Driver.
Jeez, Blog Guy, doesn’t it seem strange to sell Prince William and Minnie Driver dolls together, like they’re a couple.
I guess maybe he used to go out with her before his recent marriage. Wait. On closer inspection of those dolls, I’m not sure that’s Prince William at all! It may be Moose, from the Archie Comics.
By golly, I think you’re right. That’s Moose in his high school band uniform! But how does Moose know Minnie Driver?
Don’t they always say about Kate, “She’s such a doll”?
Cheese it! It’s Wonder Woman!
Blog Guy, you have a lot of inside info on politics and I’m hoping you can clear something up for me. I’ve heard that Sarah Palin may actually be Wonder Woman.
Whoa! You may be on to something there, Ace.
It all fits! Palin rides a motorcycle, just like the real Wonder Woman, and she always travels with her faithful calf, Shep, and her wise-cracking sidekick, Todd….
Um…
And what could be a better secret identity than “former Alaska governor.” Who would ever suspect that?
I mean, she’s free to go fight evil in Iowa, New Hampshire, anyplace where crime is rampant and there may be voters!
Hmm…wonder woman… nice pair…(of bracelets)!!
…seriously, what were YOU thinking?
Curses! Here comes Big Red!
Blog Guy, I’m a young female who wants to become a super heroine, sort of like Wonder Woman. I know she was an Amazon. Any idea where she bought her costume?
I guess Amazon.com would be too obvious?
Oh. That makes sense. You’ve written about a place called Super-Chicks R Us. Are they still in business?
Yes, but they just had their annual clearance sale, and their best super identities are gone.
What’s left, then? I’m not picky.
Let’s look at their Website. They have “Skinny-Legged Woman.” She gets a cheesy purple dress and hairy-armed gloves.
I would say shoes, coz I can see the shoes all that well…
But I quite like the eye patch, Verrryy Nice !!
