This picture was actually a prompt for a Friday Fictioneers story a few weeks ago, but I got another idea, so here it is.

I’m making a huge golf ball for Superman. Because literally nothing normal is good enough for that guy.
“Hole-in-one, first try,” he said, puffing out his chest.
“You know it won’t fit in the hole, right?” I said.
“I’m not playing on a golf course, though. I’m aiming for an open manhole on the Champs-Élysées. That’s in Paris, France,” he added, with his typical super-smirk.
So here I am building this dang thing while he goes to find a 3-ton golf club, because why not, right?
I’m even filling it with TNT, just because he wants the extra challenge.
Jerk.

Randy
golf ball, indeed.

Thanks, Randy. 🙂 Someday, I’ll write a more serious one, I’m sure, but I guess everyone has their own styles.

I could go for more golf puns right about now.

Um, let’s see… I had tee with my driver yesterday ‘fore…something something…sand trap. I’d better go to bed and think about it some more.

December 28th, 2012 at 11:50 pm
Lol very funny. Especially the ending 😀
December 28th, 2012 at 11:50 pm
good one 🙂
so superman like!
December 29th, 2012 at 12:05 am
Potentially explosive.
December 29th, 2012 at 1:00 am
Awesome. This has a bit of a Rick Riordan feel.
December 29th, 2012 at 1:08 am
Ugh, that Superman is SUCH a wannabe! Lemmy guess: he pronounced Champs (as in “champs”) Eleezees.
Don’t even get me started on his Spanish.
December 29th, 2012 at 9:09 am
Hmm, either he totally butchers it…or he pronounces every accent perfectly. Because he’s super. 🙂

Hey David,
Maybe he should load it up with a little kryptonite! Ron
December 29th, 2012 at 9:07 am
That would certainly make it more of a challenge..
December 29th, 2012 at 5:04 am
Nicely done
December 29th, 2012 at 7:01 am
I’m a big fan of Supes, so calling him a jerk didn’t seem quite right. Even though it made me laugh. And the picture you paint of him may not be very flattering but it is perfect. Hope he doesn’t read this post of yours. Sometimes he has quite the temper!
December 29th, 2012 at 9:07 am
Well, I certainly didn’t want to step on any fan’s toes. It was inspired partially by a Tumblr that pointed out the weird and somewhat cold things he’s done in the comics (http://superdickery.tumblr.com/). And yes, I wouldn’t want an angry Superman after me.

Hilarious!

p.s. but, what was that song… “Don’t mess with Superman’s…”?
December 29th, 2012 at 10:03 pm
I had to go look up that song. I, for one, would never want to mess with Superman.
December 30th, 2012 at 12:15 am
Always thought Superman was a jerk too
December 30th, 2012 at 10:48 pm
haha I appreciate this
December 30th, 2012 at 11:00 pm
Thanks 🙂
