The Shaq


You can see more about The Shaq here.

For the record, I don't think you're stupid if you liked 'The Shack.' Just wanted to be clear.

If you were a super hero you'd be
Danny Bryant - The Controversy Kid.

Ooo, and your side kick could be
Rebecca - The Wheat Grinder.

if i'm a superhero we're all in trouble.

does canada have any superheroes?

Karen said...

i don't know if you noticed with all those super hero stories or not, danny, but usually, all the folks who live with and around the super hero are already in trouble up to their eyelids, and, and, the super hero (fill in the blank) is as flawed and needy as the rest of em. available vessels = super heroes.

i like katie's monikers for you AND rebecca

Of course Canada has superheroes! There's Beaver Boy, who's dam sure to catch a culprit red handed.
And then there's Maple Man, who is always finding himself in sticky situations. And who could forget The Mountie of Mayhem? He's the super villain that every Canuck loves to hate.

I'll bet this response just prompted a few eye rolls of its own didn't it?

it's all fun and games until pacifism ruins your superheroes.

which reminds me of a favorite bnl song.

fun and games

we sent in the army
they sounded alarms we
saw it coming from a mile away
we kept it off radar
because we had to say our
intentions were to save the day

why did you fail
to see

it was a gag
it was all for a laugh
and they were shocked and they were awed
and they were blown in half

fun and games
we’re just pulling legs
we knew this barrel of fun
would be a powderkeg

we kept it all long-range
and made a regime change
you’d have thought it would have been a gas
but when it got ugly
we sat around smugly
because you bought our little joke en masse
don’t look at me that way

it was a gag
it was all for a laugh
we knew your sons and daughters
would be blown in half

fun and games
we’re just pulling legs
we knew this barrel of fun
would be a powderkeg

put a smile on
we’re the ones that you selected
leave that dial son
because we just got re-elected
in a while our
bill of rights will be rejected

and all the blame will be deflected [this bit is vaudville style]
the forests will be unprotected
the nation’s poor will be neglected
creation myth is resurrected
a new salute is genuflected
a gallup poll will be respected
gallows pole will be erected
all this will go undetected

while you all slumbered
we sat and crunched numbers
of all the causalities we could afford
there’s no need to draft them
you could hear us laugh then
the poor and black all need the room and board
did I say that
out loud

it was a gag
it was all for a laugh
and now our very nation has been blown in half

fun and games
we’re just pulling legs
we knew this barrel of fun
would be a powderkeg

we knew this barrel of fun
would be a powderkeg

it’s a powderkeg
