The Last Post Before Bed Is All Emily's Fault

[bloodyrosemccoy]

By the way, I am now a badge-carrying X-Man. Really.  I have a badge. It came in the mail with a book about pirates, several pictures of Super Mario’s hat, and a Xeroxed bit of vileness the likes of which can never, ever be explained, not even by the person who successfully explained this.

 

Which, of course, brings us to my next question*: What is my mutant power?

 

I submit it to y’all. Anyone willing to supply me with a mutant power? Or am I gonna have to come up with one myself?

 

And while I’m at it, what are yours?

 

As of now, you are unleashed.  Go for it. I await with breathless curiosity.


*My new status as an X-Man brought me to it, I mean.  The rest of the package raised other questions, but a lot of them had to do with what Emily and I are smoking.

You're mutant power is the ability to decipher all languages, of course. You're Babel Woman!.... Ok, maybe not.... ;)

I've gotta agree with wyndfire--definitely something to do with languages and the deciphering thereof. You also have mad martial arts sk1llz and the ability to best even the really snarky X-Men in battles of wit. (As to your love interest... need I even specify?)

That poor sonuvabitch just can't catch a break, can he?

Speaking in tongues?

The ability to charm ravening hordes with only the power of your voice?

Always knowing where the Cheez-Whiz is?

*grins*

Not sure what my mutant power is.

As others before me have said... clearly your mutant power is languages. You write them! You read them! You speak them in such persuasive tones that everyone voluntarily does your bidding!!

Use your power wisely.

What could I have possibly sent you that would be so strange? I thought you might like the pirate book. As for the magnet, I hope it made it to you in tact. I got bored and attempted your little mermaid in clay. Liz got a badge, too.

Your power would be... I dunno. Perhaps being able to read minds to tell when someone was just full of it. To look at them and go, "Waaait. You're lying!" to a politician and have them admit it. Mind control! That's it! Or summon weird creatures like cyclop elephants and hive beings to attack people. That would be cool, too.

The funny thing is, I was in Downtown Portland and some guy asked my friend and me if we were mutants. I'm sorry I said "No" now.

Oh, come on. We're in love with a blue furry guy and so we put him in a Hawaiian shirt and get him attacked by a meat-eating stork AND a vulk? We, my friend, are NUTS.

It was an AWESOME package. I love Eyewitness books (and pirates! Woo!) and the drawings were fun,and the mermaid is now covering up the ugly eagle on a school schedule on the fridge.

The summoning power is very close to the mutant power I came up with for myself, but I was going to wait a bit before revealing it. You will just have to stew for a while. Ha ha!

Meanwhile, Liz needs a mutant power, too. And what's YOURS?

Liz has a mutant power. Remember? It was to make people spontaneously orgasm when she wants them to. That, and to fly. I don't know if she's serious about the orgasm thing, though.

Me, I'm pretty convinced I'd be the one with the dregs of the barrel mutation, like to turn into a puddle of jelly or something. I guess that would have it's perks. I haven't figured it out yet, to be honest

And you have a point on the bird thing. You should've been there when I mailed the package. The mail woman laughed at the postal octopus bit. It was fun.

Oh, I forgot she got that power. I thought we'd have to fight over it. (I think it was my idea when we were coming up with stupid powers, and I WISH I could remember some of the others we came up with. Cody had some contributions, too.)

I still maintain that one of your mutant powers is knowing the price of EVERYTHING. Maybe you'll take a girly power where you can make everything smell like Bath and Body Works products. Or, I don't know, you can randomly turn orange. Maybe you're half-fish! You have gills! And scales up and down your back!

We'll work on it.

Oh yeah, that super power would work.

Sinister: Haha, fear me for I have the X-Men under my big toe. There is nothing you can do now!

Me: Say, where'd you get that lipstick? I betcha it was Aisle 14 at Freddies for $4.99. You know, you could get the same shade for less at K-Mart.

Sinister: Really. I, uh, I had no idea. I'll have to do that next time.

Me: Do it right now! Show Freddies what's what!

And thus the X-Men were saved thanks to Sinister's obsessive fetish with lipstick. That, and a Fred Meyers in Virginia some where blew up.

I have no idea where that came from, though I think it might be a quirky thing to have. Maybe a all-price-knowing orange demi-fish? That's a winning combo!

You know, one of these days we'll have to do blood testing to figure out exactly what we're smoking. Then sell it as a cure for restless leg syndrom. Though that might make it worse, come to think of it. Sorry for the ramblings. Did the Dude like his tattoo designs? If not, that's cool. Liz can probably do better.

Maybe your power is to be able to tie any conversation into Star Trek. OR! To burst out into a song that goes with anything anybody says. And maybe your singing would make you FLY! Like Banshee, only with songs! Picture it, Mr. Sinister will be like, "Haha! I'm Mister Sinister! Fear me!" And you'll lift off the ground as you begin singing, "They call me Mister Sinister, baby, that's my naaaaammmmmmeeeee!!" Then, as you sing, you'll pound him into a one inch square. Yeah. That would be awesome.

I think my mutant power is to use instant karma to my advantage. It seems to be a running thing in my life...
