I Am SO Pitching This To Stan Lee!

  *Updated 9-9-2012 PM

  Good morning! I have discovered there is a certain danger in leaving someone like me to their own devices and DVD collection. What happens when I get bored and can’t beat a stupid level on stupid Angry-stupid-Birds? I end up watching things like “Braveheart” and “The 300”…again and again and again…

  But it did get me thinking, (Yeah, I know. I’m always nervous about what comes after that opening too. *grin*) all those guys had their own completely AWESOME battle cries. “Freedom!” “For Sparta!” “To the Batcave!” It kinda made me a little jealous. I want my own battle cry! Something to strike fear and awe in the hearts of men.

  That was as far as I got before I realized I DO have my own battle cry, or to be more accurate, a fine selection of battle cries that I use on a daily basis and some of them I can even print without hitting the “Adult Content” button for language. (I’m not sure about awe, but they definitely strike fear in the hearts of my entire household!)

  So I thought I’d share a few with you today and maybe I’d get lucky and you’d share some of yours with me. (Kinda like show-and-tell, only much less embarrassing and doesn’t require the use of a web cam.)

  “That’s gonna leave a mark!” (This is probably the one I use most, next to “insert string of explicatives here*)

  “To the couch!” (This one tends to go hand-in-hand with, “That’s my spot!”)

  “I NEED sugar!”

  “OOOOOOOWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEE!” (This one must be said with the right mix of anger and surprise, otherwise it just comes out needy.)

  “Birds!” (This one is extremely effective in spurring every member of my family to run for a door in an attempt to figure out what the heck the evil beasties are doing to upset me. I may or may not occasionally utter it out of amusement just to watch them all go into Red Alert mode. *evil giggle*)

Note the cool steel-toed boots for her two left feet and the
 trippin' oven mitts that are not only great protection but
hide the fact that she's all thumbs. And the red tutrle neck?
Not only stylish and cozy, but cleverly colored to hide
the blood from any accidents that may occur!



                    

  Then there are the phrases that are more like “catch phrases,” you know, things you say so often they become your verbal trademarks. “The Shadow knows.” “Up, up and away.” “What’s the word? Thunderbird!” (No, wait…that’s not right.)

  “Every day of my life is a ‘Fall’ day.”

  “The wall hit me.”

  “When furniture attacks.”

  “I meant to do that.”

  And my all-time favorite, “That’s what you’re for!”

  You know what? I just realized that I probably have the makings of one heck of a kick-ass Super Hero, with all the uber-cool stuff I yelp out on a regular basis. Maybe I should e-mail Stan Lee and pitch it to him?

*OK, I need help with a name. Stick with The Flare? (The Girl said this looks like my battle gear for a trip to Wal-Mart!) Any suggestions would be GREAT!

*Update: "As suggested by Dawn, "The Flare" is NOT a good thing, so it's a much better name for a Super Villian. Thus, the Super Hero formerly known as The Flare is now Annie Immunity. However, since Dawn also planted the seed in my bored crazy brain and I can never leave well enough alone, I present to you the Super Villian, The Flare!

Looking a bit like crap because she feels a bit like
crap and she's out to make EVERYONE pay! Wearing
the fuzzy mittens of Doom to keep her aching hands warm
and pink bunny slippers (with jets to shoot fatigue mist
and brain fog) on her sore feet, she's looking for
pay-back!
