The hiatus is over

Okay hiatus is over. Yes, superheroes and supervillains have hiatusi haiti haitusae vacations. Hey, we superfolk cannot be “on” all the time. I mean really. Everyone takes vacations, superheroes and supervillains just make sure that they coincide with each others’. Well, that is not actually the case. The superheroes’ hiatus typically occurs 1 week later than the supervillains’. It is kind of a professional courtesy thing. No one wants the Black Shroud of Justice accidentally running into Kid Anarchy in the Poconos.

Funny thing about Kid Anarchy, he is now 46, balding, and starting to lean towards the conservative right. Sure 28 years ago he was an 18 year old punk with a chip on his shoulder in combat boots all about anarchy and punk music, but most of the bands he listened to got big and sold out. Heck, Iggy Pop sells for a cruise line now. Really pissed Kid Anarchy off, but he had already established a name and some street cred, so he kept with it. Who trembles at the name “Mature Anarchy” or “Middle-Aged Anarchy?” No one is going to feel the walls of society come crashing down at the whims of “The Shining Bald Head of Anarchy!”

Anyway… after the superheroes have their hiatus, then the anti-heroes get a few days off. But they only get a few since they do not fit neatly into the typical hero/villain role. Often times with anti-heroes they have to deal with a hero who is mad at their blatant disregard for the criminal due process and a villain who is bent on world domination. It really is a hard road for them to hoe. (Heh, I said “ho”) They really should just choose one side or another. GET OFF THE FENCE GUYS! I am the misunderstood good guy just trying to exact revenge for something. Boooo Hooooo cray me a river, pal. We all got stuff to deal with!

But all of that is completely irrelevant. What this post is about is the crappy time I had in Cabo San Lucas’s Adventure Island resort. It was not that much of an adventure. I mean really, a trampoline in the water is not adventurous. Paragliding is not adventurous. Wooo-Hooo hold me back! Is that a climbing wall! Holy Crap! I was bored out of my skull. Climbing wall my ass. I could have jumped the damn thing! At least there were some hot chicks there! Most of them looking for Mr. Right Now. If you know what I mean...

Yes, we all know what you mean, Captain Obvious. Now, if we could only know how to erase that knowledge from our memories, we'd be all set.
