Greetings, all. I was planning to post a treasure map that I'd discovered in the Stranger archives last week, but never mind. There are more important matters to discuss. The yin must have its yang.
If you're wondering where this is going, you're not alone. Let me give you a few more examples to illustrate the point:
French fries must have . . . . . . . . . . . loads of ketchup.
Spiderman must have . . . . . . . . . . . . really springy underwear.
Tiger Woods must have . . . . . . . . . . . crap, let's not even go there.
The point is that the post about my daughter's pickle obsession is finally going to be answered by one about my son and cherries. He walked into the kitchen the other night holding what remained of said fruit and initiated the following exchange:
Son: Guess what? There's seven cherries left.
Me: Is that a mystical portent of some kind?
Son: No, it just means I ate the rest.
Me: Mmm. Thanks.
Son: But seven is an interesting number . . .
Me: Well, that's nice of you to give me something else to think about -- especially since there's nothing left to eat.
Btw, here's a question for you. When I was working on this, I realized that I like Spiderman better than Batman. He seems friendlier and more human. Who do you prefer, Spiderman or Batman? Why?
Spiderman is part spider. He doesn't seem more human to me. But they both have more interesting enemies than, say, Superman, whose enemies are *cosmic.*
ReplyDeleteMy favorite, however, is Iron Man. :D
"Spiderman must have...really springy underwear!"
LOL!
No, Spiderman is not more human, Eric! That's such an illogical assumption. He eats flies, for gosh sake. At least...I think he eats flies. Spiders do that, don't they? Bats just eat...umm blood...and...fruit...and...flies...
ReplyDeleteI like Batman better. He just seems cooler to me. And, though this is really shallow, judging by the actors who have played these two recently, Christian Bale pwns Tobey Maguire any day of the week. :D
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I am not a huge fan of superhero movies, so I don't really feel qualified to comment one way or another. :D
Scotty, thanks for that interesting answer. You have a good point about his spidiriness. Or should that be spiderishness? Well, how about arachnosmilitude? Oh, nm.
ReplyDeleteSpammy, thanks for clearing that up? Ha ha.
Zella, I could be wrong, but it sounds like you know what you're talking about. :)
