I got an email that said that anyone who goes to Iron Man in costume gets in for half price! (2) [silence] (3) ALEX: Fake email from Jane? BRIAN: That's my theory, yes. (4) ALEX: Fine . . . I'll go take this off. BRIAN: If you're wearing pants under that, I'd be happy to help you.]]> Action Figure Diary http://www.trishtales.com/actionfigurediary/index.php?itemid=183 Mon, 5 May 2008 07:30:00 -0700 <![CDATA[(#172) Alex: Advice on Batman vs. Superman]]> http://www.trishtales.com/actionfigurediary/index.php?itemid=182 AlexQ: Alex, why do you still refuse to admit that Batman is the ultimate superhero? He has expanded his natural abilities through years of vigorous physical and intellectual training. And don’t even get me started on his magnificent inventions . . .

By way of comparison, Superman was born that way. He wouldn’t have even been considered super if he had lived his entire life on his own planet. In light of this information, how can you persist in your belief that Superman is the ultimate superhero?

P.S. Your sports equipment is spreading towards my side of the room again.

A: Nice try, Brian. I still maintain that the best superheroes are defined by their amazing superpowers and how they use them for the common good. Gadgets and training just can’t compare, in my opinion. I respect Batman, but I still believe that Superman rules.

P.S. Let’s not relive the “my side/your side” debate of 2003. Nothing good can come of that.

(2) ALEX: That's deliberate. I might not be able to sleep again after hearing her answer. (3) JANE: It's a moot point anyway. ALEX: Why? (4) JANE: I don't need a superpower. I'm awesome as I am.]]> Action Figure Diary http://www.trishtales.com/actionfigurediary/index.php?itemid=181 Mon, 7 Apr 2008 07:30:00 -0700 <![CDATA[(#170) Alex: Joe's favorite superpower]]> http://www.trishtales.com/actionfigurediary/index.php?itemid=180 (1) JOE: What have you guys been doing lately? ALEX: Talking about which superpower we would choose. (2) JOE: I would still choose the ability to breathe anywhere--under water, outer space, no limits. (3) BRIAN: So, basically, you're saying you want to be a living action figure. (4) JOE: You say that every time I mention this, and that's not my point!]]> Action Figure Diary http://www.trishtales.com/actionfigurediary/index.php?itemid=180 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 07:30:00 -0800
