kicking ass and taking names
I first saw this over at Matterdays and now it’s everywhere.

It was a toss-up between a lightsaber and a katana; I thought the sword might be mildly more intimidating to criminals. That and my crime-fighting beard.
Get yours here.

I totally stole this idea. Also I would defeat you in hand-to-hand combat.
Hello, Vahid.
Bring it. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.
It bears an amazingly striking resemblence to you! How very shiek and powerful you are!
This is WAY cool!
The beard puts it over the top.
I’m not flirting when I say this…but Jesus Criminy! How is it that you even get your cartoon superdude to look sexy? Sheesh!
Everybody’s doing this. I feel pressure!
That is one hell of a beard!
bwahahaha! I totally love it!
***cowering in fear***
(Not fear of you, or even your superhero alter ego… rather, fear that I might cave in to the tidal wave of peer pressure and create one of my own.)
So are you trying to tell that you make a hot super hero?
If so it’s noted.
Love it. Edna trained me to go sans cape with mine though.
Oh, it’s brought!
(I’m not sure how to proceed from here. Do we describe parries and blows and such? That seems like it could get dorky really fast. Let’s just skip to the end.)
SCOTT BRINGS DOWN HIS MIGHT STAFF ON VAHID’S CURLS! VAHID’s BLOOD AND TEARS POUR DOWN INTO HIS BEARD AS HE STUMBLES TO HIS KNEES. SCOTT FINISHES HIM OFF WITH A KICK TO THE FACE! FTW!
lewis, I know, I always wear a cape around town.
nycwd, the beard makes the man, I always say.
hilly, I wish I could figure out how to have biceps the size of my hero avatar.
ashley, DO IT. you know you want to.
chris, it’s from the beard that I draw my superstrength.
stacey, women love it and criminals fear it.
shari, see response to ashley above, re: DO IT.
sarah, if that’s what you take away from this then I’m a happy man.
claire, crime doesn’t stand a chance between the two of us!
scott, I’m taking the battle to your blog!
I feel kinda wimpy now, since my alter ego carried a spork …
oh c’mon, do you know how often people need a spork and find that they don’t have one? you can help people in a way that no other hero can. excelsior!
You know what? You don’t see too many bearded superheroes, do you? That’s a crying shame – the crime fighting beard is totally intimidating and alluring, all at once.
Then suddenly, a slap with the flat of his sword cleared my mind. “Why are we fighting?” I wondered aloud. “We shouldn’t be fighting. We should be drinking a beer.” And so we did.
The end.
jenny, the world would be a better place with more bearded heroes.
scott, it sounds like the effects of Dr Demento’s Mind-Control Ray have finally worn off. I’m glad. This is really good breakfast beer.
Hmmm now we need a way to have our superheros challenge each other to a duel!
damn, that is one smokin hot super hero.
