Ah, the refreshing taste of victory!!!


So, I'm leaving from my day job and one of co-workers says "you're a superhero".
Wait...what?
The scenario he gives me is that we all wake up at the theme park (don't want to name names, LOL) and from oh...a meeting or something and we all have super powers. When I came in, they were deciding who was going to be good and bad. So I've been deemed to be on the justice fighting side.

When it got to what sort of powers we'd all be getting, the were unsure for a bit and then it dawned on them. My powers would be comparable to Thor's; I have super strength that is amplified by mug.

Now, I feel I should provide some back story to this, lol!

I bring a 64oz. jug that I fill up with water every day to work. I work outside in a tiny kiosk and the only thing protecting me (not really) is a sheet of tin over the table (that leaks) and an umbrella (mostly for guests...that leaks) So, it's just me and the heat. I bring that to keep hydrated. I'm ALWAYS getting comments on it because it's so big compared to me. I see it as a very practical item; It's a water jug, an anchor, a dumbell, a travel chair and a bludgeoning weapon, LOL! So in a way, this assigned superpower fits all too well, LOL!

My whole gimmick though is I'll fight with this mug and make super anime victory poses and real corny remarks (like the title of this post, LOL) But OMG I had no idea making a costume would be so hard! I had no real rules to go by, except that it had to be skintight and it had to look kinda american, kinda japanese. Not sure how successful it was, but it was hilarious doing it!
