The Adventures of Supermouse!

This is Supermouse.

My first girlfriend and I on one afternoon in the Metrocentre decided to take a stroll around the isles of Collectables. Why, I'm not sure. We were obviously too high on young love and were a bit still too amazed by the tomato sauce pump in McDonald's (which i believe may have been the first in the north east) to really notice that all they sell are glass ducks and farm animals. But any how, we were in there. Wandering around.

I could hear my mams voice in my head telling me not to touch anything.

Then we passed a big display of mice in a variety of poses and in a variety of comical outfits. I pointed at one and flippantly said it was cool. More because i hadn't used the thoughtsicles that control my mouth for a while since it was left a gasp after seeing the leap in tomato technology, than because i actually liked it.

We carried along on our merry way and i never gave the mice a second thought......that is until i got Super-Mouse as a gift! I cant remember why, birthday, finishing college, completed TA basic training...i duno i just remember thinking it was lame as fuck. Another error in the girls judgement to add to the list of reasons why we weren't very good together.

We broke up a while later, not because of Supermouse i feel i should point out, and the gift lived at the bottom of the box i keep all that kinda stuff in since.

That is until i found it while looking for stuff to flog on eBay, and now it resides proudly atop my television for all to see.


Just thought id share that with you.

It's a cool mouse innit.

And so the adventure begins...

So. Blog numero uno. As they say in Spain n that. Probably. Where to begin. Well, right now I'm watching an episode of the splendid Superman Animated Series, Speed Demons, where Flash and Supes race around the world in a race for charity but get accosted by the Weather Wizard on the way. The audience doesn't find out who the fastest man alive is but obviously everyone knows Flash on foot is faster than Superman. Obviously.

Wouldn't it be just awesome to be able to fly. Like really awesome. If i could have any super power it'd be to be able to fly like Superman. Second, superspeed like the Flash. And third, intangibility like Martian Manhunter. Although...thinking about going intangible, if you really could do it, whats to stop Earths gravity from just pulling you further and further towards the core ey?? Nothing. That's what. So instead of intangibility I'm gonna go with.....invulnerability. Then id go on a charva killing rampage.

Remember in Superman 3 when hes "evil" and straightens the leaning Tower of Pisa to show how badass and evil he now was...hilarious. Superman Animated Series is the best non-comic representation of the Man of Steel. The films we rent very good to begin with and haven't aged well. And Margaret Kidder...what were they thinking. Hopefully the reboot will do better.


Anyways, so, on to the purpose of this blog. There isn't one. Just somewhere for me to rant about/talk about stuff to no one in particular. 'ope you enjoy it.

And thats a wrap for blog numero uno.
