Do you watch The Young Turks as well?

This may seem silly, and it probably is, but hey, if it works, it works. If he can help stop crime, then I'm all for it. Rock on, Phoenix Jones!

You know, all of the watchmen, save for Dr. Manhattan, were ordinary humans, that were trained very well and in the beginning, they were just normal people tired of the crime, maybe this is the world's first real super hero and may end up being taken seriously. Is this the beginning of a real group of watchmen?

To a phone booth to slip into your Super Whit suit?
I think that mask avatar is a give away.

The Tex Mex Atheist? Mega Whit? Danger Atheist? Darkwing Whit? Logic Woman? Reason Girl?

Maybe I should just crawl away quietly.

QuoteMr. Gumpy suggests that some of his passengers many need to get out and push as the car is starting to get sluggish on the muddy road.  When Mr. Gumpy calls for volunteers, each passenger responds with "Not me" and an excuse as to why he or she cannot push.  Their excuses range from "I might catch cold" to my personal favorite from the pig, "I've a bone in my trotter"

The pigs my favourite too.

I would be a superhero, but I have a bone in my trotter.

I could be Captain Brainmaster, and my weakness will be poor social skills! I could weild a bokken, and have a fleet of robot minions.

Are there any real life super villains?

Yes I think there are.

Those who will lie so as to send their country to war, they're happy if their country wastes a billion if they make a million.
Financier hucksters who are happy if the financial system loses a trillion if the make a billion.

Just being evil doesn't make you a super villain, super vilainy is all about style!

I assume those who undermined the retirement savings of millions of people dined and conducted themselves with style, probably still do.
