Hiya BetterMost friends.
Another day down, and Friday is on the horizon.
It's also payday for me! ;D
Saturday the family is getting together for a few hours for Trent's 6th birthday party. It will be good to see him and everyone else again. :) Sunday will be the usual visit with my parents and doing laundry.

What's that vaguely phallic object Superman is wielding?

Yeah, I think he will enjoy all the figures. As for what Superman is wielding, it's a parking meter.

Yes, it's a parking meter, and yes, the world needs less of them! I agree!!!!

Chuckie, why the parking meter? I thought he changed in a phone booth. I understand there are hardly any more phone booths left, but a parking meter seems a poor substitute.

I have no idea why they've given him a parking meter. The only thing I can think of is all the other figures have a weapon or extra 'something', so they gave him the meter so kids could pretend he used his strength to rip it out of the ground, and use it as a weapon.
--- Quote from: Sason on November 20, 2019, 12:45:53 pm ---Since there are no more phone booths, he has to change in his car. In order to do that, he has to park the car first. And for that, he needs a parking meter. Can't very well risk be taken by the police in the middle of changing, can he. So embarassing!

Superman looks angrier than when I last saw him. Also, if his hands are so large compared to his body, wouldn't someone eventually realize ... hey, Clark Kent has huge hands, too!!
:laugh:

He's forced to go through all that trouble of finding an empty parking space, making sure he has coins ready (it's an old fashioned parking meter, only takes coins), changing clothes while all crouched and making sure nobody sees him.
Such a hassle!
No wonder the man looks angry, I would too!!!

Well, the need for a phone booth is going away, I believe. If I've read correctly, an upcoming issue of the Superman comic will deal with him giving up the Clark Kent identity, and revealing that Clark and Superman are one in the same.

There is a great visual gag in the definitive Superman movie where Christopher Reeve runs up to a pay phone that's not in a phone booth. He has to change in an alley.

Clark Kent exposed?!! Nooooo!!!!

Hiya BetterMost friends.
Grey, rainy Sunday here!
I'm reminded of the Guns N Roses song, "November Rain".
I had the day wrong for Trent's birthday, it's today. So I spent yesterday doing the laundry and grocery shopping, so that today would be open. The party starts at 2, so I'm picking my family up at 1 and then going to the party.
;D
I hadn't heard that the weather would be so wet today. Yesterday was a bright, sunny day, so I went out and washed the car. Just as I pulled out of the car wash, I heard the weather report about today.
