Let Me Shake Your Cannonball

 

Since I’m a young buck in the world of “full-time” blogging, it is definitely an honor to be acknowledged by my homie Dart Adams at Poisonous Paragraphs.  The best thing about reading Dart’s blog the past 2 years is that I’d rarely finish his posts without learning about something cool and nerdy that had previously eluded me.  Today’s post was just like that, except it involved me directly.

Dart showed love to all his favorite bloggers by comparing them to super heroes from the Marvel Universe.  If you are not a comic book geek, then please check back in later, as this next batch of words and paragraphs might as well be typed in German then re-translated in Swahili then signed to a deaf man in Yiddish who writes it down in drunken morse code.

According to Dart, Clap Cowards is Cannonball of X-Men/X-Force/The New Mutants.  Pretty effin raw!  Wikipedia scientifically says “Cannonball is a mutant that possesses the ability to bodily generate thermo-chemical energy and release it from his skin. This energy is used as thrust to cause his body to be propelled through the air like a rocket, at great heights and speeds with considerable maneuverability. He can control his speed and direction through sheer act of will.”  This sounds like me after I have my 3pm Starbucks at work.

Other highlights include Jeff as Iceman (definitely not the whiney douche from X-Men 2), Brandon as the Punisher (he will massacre the latest Kanye album with no remorse!), Dallas as Bishop (I’m envious), Flood as Nova (one of the few characters with a better mask than MF Doom), and many more.  The only difference between us geeky bloggers and actual geeks is that we dress like mavericks, drink like Mad Men, and sleep with college educated waitresses!

Dart Adams, Clap Cowards salutes you!
