It would certainly extend Ivan's legal range of operations beyond a few beaches and the sort of camps where people play volleyball in the altogether. Although the birthday boy might not regard this as a major drawback, a particularly cunning villain might take advantage of his severely circumscribed sphere of action.<br /><br />Still, I can foresee a slight problem which might still, shall we say, arise with this costume choice: he's either gonna have to fight his arch with only one hand, or ... well, you get the idea. And even with the aid of modern medical science, if the fight lasted more than four hours he could be in trouble.<br /><br />I agree the retro look is the only way to go, though. And definitely something with a rocket pack.<br /><br />Happy birthday from another Southern boy, Ivan! grouchomarxistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-66170799205039206952014-09-02T20:49:30.588-07:002014-09-02T20:49:30.588-07:00heydave- I hope that's a *strategically placed...heydave- I hope that's a *strategically placed* fedora. and a very happy birthday Ivan, and in the (almost) words of Alan Arkin, argyle fuck yourself ;}preznithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02112468490241139292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-74901418718880814642014-09-02T19:36:55.258-07:002014-09-02T19:36:55.258-07:00Don't blush, Ivan, you deserve it all!

I know, American Maid already pioneered it, but it was an instant classic and since the rumored reboot of live-action Tick will likely not fully utilize the concept, I think you've got a winner!zombie rotten mcdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601960953323752278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-29216179103667436902014-09-02T15:07:36.815-07:002014-09-02T15:07:36.815-07:00Aw, ya big lug, just go with a fedora.

And my most fervent thanks to our host, Scott C., who really ought to contact the folks at Guinness as to whether there's a world record on the longest time spent making a person blush. (He seems to break this record every year!)<br /><br />Oh, and I need a quick moment to say this...a few days ago, when Wo'C did a post about some of the celebrity notables who've shuffled off this mortal coil of late, Mr. C credited me with the gag "Death! Take a holiday!" I would remiss if I didn't point out that it was Scott himself who originated that.

Your knowledge, enthusiasm for your subject, and scholarship are apparent in everything you write. I too enjoy your charm and wit. Damn it, your stuff just makes me happy!<br />Um, I don't know much about superhero fashion, so just wear something comfortable and easy to wash (crime gets messy).Sherinoreply@blogger.com
