Declining ad rates - funny!!
ReplyDeleteHappy to make you laugh!
DeleteI thought it was just kryptonite, but you're right.
ReplyDeleteSharp things? Huh. Bullets are supposed to bounce off. What about full metal jacket bullets, that have a sharp pointy tip? Add a Kryptonite coating, and you could put an end to that pesky superhero....
ReplyDeleteHe's been shot with so many Kryptonite bullets that I kind of laugh now.
DeleteNice list. All I could come up with was Kryptonite.
ReplyDeleteAwesome list. I would add xenophobia.
ReplyDeleteI mean he experiences it, not that he has it.
ReplyDeleteAh, I see. I was going to ask!
DeleteThanks for the giggle, it made me almost spilled my coffee.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Lois Lane, and damsels in distress, in general. I've lost count of the number of times he dove head first into an obvious trap in order to rescue any number of damsels in distress.
ReplyDeleteAfter looking at the list, it almost makes him seem not Super. I heard a rumor that he can be tamed by Wonder Woman's Lasso. You have to admit being able to reverse the earth's rotation in order to turn back time is pretty cool. I'm looking forward to seeing "Man of Steel" on the big screen. Maybe Father's Day Weekend?
ReplyDeletePut like that, it is a wonder he survives.
ReplyDeleteSo true, so true.
ReplyDeleteWe're going to see the new movie tonight... and while the previews have been pretty awesome, I'm fairly skeptical and not holding out much hope (even if the movie is directed by Christopher Nolan... I'm not as much a Nolan fan-girl as some). Superman is hard to do in movie-format, I'm coming to realize. Also, having been a fan of Smallville for 10 years, it's hard for a 2 hour movie to compare. LOL
