Since we are on the topic of names, I decided I’d post a thread of my own. How many of you out there have superhero or supervillan names? C’mon! Make one up! Mine is bum bum ba dahh! Non-Lethal Disease Man! Now it’s your turn. And just remember, leprosy is non-lethal. ---

Some friends and I used to have this complicated inside joke about how we were super heros. My middle name is Merritt (family name), so I was Dr. Merritt. I don’t remember anyone else’s name, but we named my car (a 1984 Mazda station wagon that didn’t go in reverse for the last year of its life) the Oscillating Wheels of Justice. Doesn’t that sound like a super hero vehicle name? * * * “I need the biggest seed bell you have. . . no, that’s too big.”–Hans Moleman ---

I used to have a superhero-sweater, and with it the horrible lame title of ‘Mega-Megan’. I skipped the whole insanity of saving the world from evil and spent my precious superhero time flexing, and trying to look intimidating. And even though the sweater has shrunk to the size of a donut, I still flex and try to intimidate, but without that superhero-sweater all I do is get laughed at. Just imagine how wussy Superman would be without his tights. That’s me. ☹ * * * “Organs gross me out. That’s _organs_, not orgasms.” -the wallster ---

In college, some friends and I (well, mostly me and this one other guy) made up a really lame superhero group called Team Osmosis. Some of the characters were more-or-less based on real people: my friend was **El Gato** , whose powers were fueld by boasting. So, if he said “They haven’t _built_ the prison that could hold El Gato!” he could break out. I was **5-Man**. If I remember right, 5-Man could fly and control things that came in groups of five. His super-villains were the **Evil Irrationals** , pi and i. * * * I’m your only friend I’m not your only friend But I’m a little glowing friend But really I’m not actually your friend But I am ---
