Superpowers

I love to ask people which superpower they would choose if they had the option to either fly or become invisible. If you were somehow given the choice between flying and invisibility, which would you choose? After thinking about it for a long time, I decided that I'd rather have the ability to become invisible. I mean, flying would be sweet, don't get me wrong. I just think invisibility would offer more options on how to utilize the ability. I could pretty much do whatever I wanted. Personally, however, my choice is usually a third option: stopping time. You know, like the way that girl did on the short-lived 80's sitcom "Out Of This World." Man, that would be sweet. I'd mostly use it to rig sporting events. I'd stop time while a basketball were in mid-arc and change its course just enough to keep it from going in. Or, maybe I'd use it to cheat on board games. Yeah, that would be awesome.

Okay despite the fact that you actually referenced "Out of this World" I'm giving some thought to this blog. I'll go with invisibility, if I only have the two choices, however, I think I'd rather have the ability to understand any language instantaneously.

I absolutely LOVED that show! I watched the reruns faithfully when I was around 7. I totally forgot what it was called though, and I try to explain it to people and they just look at me like I'm crazy. That and "Zoo-ba-lee-zoo". Did anyone watch that as a kid, or was it just me? I can't find anyone else who did. Invsibility all the way.

Oh, I watched the show only I wasn't 7... I thought Evie was masterful However, the acting was atrocious at best. Try watching it now if you run across it. It might be similar to my running across Greatest AMerican Hero, which I adored as a kid, and becomeing greatly disenchanted with the show, but not the theme song.

The stopping time thing made me kinda think of Zack on Saved by the Bell. You know how he would stop and do his own cheesy monologue? Speaking of Zack, has anyone seen him now that he's all grown-up on NYPD Blue??? Friggin hot.

Um, Anonymous, I believe everyone already sort of has that ability. I think the official name of the ability is "having a life outside the blogosphere and not having to depend on other people for you enjoyment." Something like that, anyway.

Jess-

It's funny you mentioned Zack, because I recently saw an episode of NYPD Blue, and I have to say, while some may find him attractive, it says nothing for his awesomely bad acting skills. He's seriously one of the worst actors I've ever, EVER seen. Hands down.
