I heard that story on eponyms the other day. So fascinating and interesting! Its so weird to think of all the words we use for things that actually come from someone’s name. Did you know that Tommy’s dad patented the original frisbee?! I can’t wait to listen to the Tom Keller one. Yum.

Sarah, we already have our super powers! DANCE TOLL! We turn every party into a dance party by magic virtue of our drunken persistence to not let anyone walk past us without dancing first, no matter how badly they have to go to the bathroomn!

I call this persona The Hurt and she wears mini-skirts, patterned tights, hoodies and logo buttons. Much like me.

My superpower would be Interpretive Dance. Oh sure, it probably seems like being the wind in dance form is actually a superpower, but let me tell you, that shit is hard to do without laughing your ass off.

How would my power save the day, you ask? Oh, that’s easy. Next time you doubt the good my powers can bring, you just need to get up, go into your coworker’s office, and interpretively dance the sentence: “The Man is oppressing me with boring-ass work.”

You’ll see. You’ll all see.

Erg. This question is too hard. Where is The Wit when I need her?

I can never be witty when I think about this, cause all I ever wanna do is fly.

And not fly to be a superhero, either, just to be able to run away from bad guys more efficiently.

My brothers and I have this conversation nearly every time I come home. This conversation is usually on the heels of “Backyard Wars” where we battle with broomsticks as swords, sleds as shields, and water jugs tied to sticks as maces. Just because we range in age from 26 to 35 doesn’t mean we don’t also have dreams of superherodom. My bro’s power is training arctic and aquatic animals for world domination (penguins and sharks). Mine is kind of lame, but I would use it for the greatest good. I would be able to breathe under water. The greater good would be so that I wouldn’t die underwater. That shit effs up your lungs people.
