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…
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 !!
Run! We’re dead! It’s Scary Red!
Blog Guy, I was always in love with Lynda Carter – you know, she played Wonder Woman on TV. What’s she doing now?
Looks like this is your lucky day, Slick. She’s back in a superhero series next fall.
Awesome! As Wonder Woman?
No, this time around she plays “Scary Red Too Much Makeup Woman.”
Does she have special powers?
