Square Table Discussion



So, in my younger days I collected some cool posters. Mostly comic book/superhero stuff. After I married my fetching bride, they soon found their way into the abyss of storage. But, oh-ho-ho, what's this? The dudes are finally superhero freaks! I dug deep into the garage and pulled out a big roll of dusty posters the other day and now it's game on.

This particular poster is one with a lot of the Marvel Universe characters. The boys love pointing out the different guys and gals and making up crazy names for them. I found myself getting all geeked out and trying to explain all their superpowers. "Oh, check out Captain America, he was injected with the super-soldier serum in WWII and he doesn't age and still kicks Nazi butt and check out his shield, made from adamantium, when he throws it, it always comes back to him!" The boys just gave me that,"Who asked you?" look and continued their discussion. Not surprisingly, I get that look about 20 times a day around here. And not just from the boys. Oh, just wait until I crack open my comic book collection....
