Superhero Roundup
Tuesday, 02.13.07 @ 12:00AM
My mother used to take me grocery shopping with her, but I wasn’t much help. I’d make a beeline to the comic book rack in the corner and stay there until she called me to get in the car. I’d buy a comic book on each trip, but since they were a whole 15 cents each, I had to read them all to decide which one was worth purchasing. I had boxes upon boxes of Superman, Batman, and various other superhero comics, which went up like kindling when the house burned. Not that they would have been worth much today; they were pretty well worn after I read them a dozen times each.

THE DRUNK
One night, after a long evening of drinking, Jim was thrown out of the bar as usual. On his way home he spotted a nun walking down the road.
After looking at her twice he ran over and tackled her, then proceeded to beat the living shit out of her.
Some people passing by spotted this and called the police.
As the police were pulling him away in handcuffs he looked back and said, "I thought you'd be tougher than that, Batman."

MAGIC BEER
A lady walks into a bar and sees a really good-looking guy sitting at the bar by himself. She goes over and asks him what he is drinking.
"Magic Beer", he says.
She thinks he's a little crazy, so she walks around the bar, but after realizing that there is no one else worth talking to, goes back to the man sitting at the bar and says,
"That isn't really Magic Beer, is it?"
"Yes, I'll show you." He takes a drink of the beer, jumps out the window, flies around the building three times and comes back in the window.
The lady can't believe it: "I bet you can't do that again."
He takes another drink of beer, jumps out the window, flies around the building three times, and comes back in the window.
She is so amazed that she says she wants a Magic Beer, so the guy says to the bartender, "Give her one of what I'm having."
She gets her drink, takes a gulp of the beer, jumps out the window, plummets 30 stories, breaks every bone in her body, and dies.
The bartender looks up at the guy and says, "You know, Superman, you're a real asshole when you're drunk.”

Thought for today: Sometimes I wish I was a cartoon superhero. Not for the whole "super powers" thing though, but mainly because they never have to work or go to the bathroom.

Ten thumbs up (two 5 times) - to the "Peanuts Characters as Marvel Superheroes." (Right up my alley.)
The movie about Wonder Woman's bathroom was hilarious!
Awhile back, I did the one about 2nd jobs for the Super heroes using some photo-shopped pics. (Superman delivering pizza ...)
