I’m sorry, but no, a Mac in any form definitely doesn’t count as cool.

And I wanna be Superman, but man, those farm skills (err, lack thereof) really do get in the way…

How about your chances of finding a green ring with magic powers? Green lantern is cool too! (Especially, the new green lantern!)

Worst case scenario, one of your friends makes a magic potion giving you incredible strength and you can be Asterix and Obelix..

Tin Tin?

One of the wondertwins, or maybe Gleek?

Oh wao Burhan. You actually know of classics such as TinTin and Asterix? I mention those around and ppl give me their half open mouth confused huh look.
Those two comics were the best. I just read a TinTin a few weeks back.

According to sources, Herge (the writer of TinTin) died and his unpublished works revealed a TinTin story in progress. So his heirs are trying to see if they can have it put together as the final tribute to Herge and TinTin.

Cool green rings yes but- The only ring I want to wear is the one for my wife.

As for being anybody on the web, a few years back a blog was started out, a fictional blog of a fictionally famous person. People loved it, more then the real life blog of the author. Yes, you can be anybody you want on the web Faiza.
I just have enough trouble being me as it is. =)

I’m a Mac person but I’m also a “hybrid” person which I’m gathering most individuals are not. So to state that “a Mac in any form definitely doesn’t count as cool.” tells me something about you. = (

As far as the superhero or superpowers, well I’d have to agree with Waleed. Spiderman is the one for me. I haven’t found that bus yet but I haven’t been looking either!

P.S. written on a Mac

lol
I’ve completed far, far too many years of journalism and yearbook staff using Macs (and grudgingly still use Macs whenever the PC computer labs are full), but nothing could enamor me of them. Sorry. I know Macs supposedly rock in terms of graphics and design and all, but when it comes to being a “hybrid” person…I’m just a lost cause, yo.

And Tin Tin is the coolest dude around.

So we’re talkin super powers eh? When I was knee high to a gadfly I thought it the greatest tragedy that I wasn’t gifted with any magical superhuman abilities. It still pisses me off if I’ve been watching cartoons. My superhero to be when I was a kid was Rogue. She was tough, strong, and could absorb any power she wanted.

Tintin is great. I remember reading one of his adventures during one of my many trips to Pakistan. It made me feel a little less odd, reading about another kid hopping countries.

everybody knows about TinTin and Asterix.

You people are forgetting something, superman was superman before the farm skills.

So once you become superman/woman, the farm skills are a trivial matter.

Actually… Superman wasn’t superman until he went up north after his pa’ died, and threw that crystal into the ground which built the “fortress of solitude” (which for us who are parents today, may as well be a bathroom fully stocked with magazines)…

This means that superman was superman after the farm skills, and not before. Mind you.. if you were superman, you wouldn’t need farm skills.. Simply pillage and plunder other farms, or head up your own cartel..

Anyone remember Groo the warrior?
