Holy Stream of Consciousness, Batman

I think I should NOT have written "It Was a Dark and Stormy Night" in my last post, because it seems all we've had so far in January is dark, wet, cold, windy storminess. Still, there are occasional bursts of craziness and hilarity that shine through the thick gloom (or maybe it's just cabin fever), and the following post is one of those. I help run a leadership training course for Summer Girl's Camp Youth leaders, and our theme this year has to do with Superheroes. As I was working on plans for our first training meeting, I got a little sidetracked and came up with some new Camp Rules to add to the existing list. Just for kicks and giggles, I'm posting them here. :) Enjoy!

Superhero Rules:

1. Superhero name should reflect super-ability possessed, or super-ability wished for enough that it seems real to you.

2. If Superhero name does not contain the designation “man” or “woman”, name should be formed with the article “The” and followed by an appropriately descriptive noun, i.e. The Blob, The Queen, The Master of All Things Chocolate.
3. The suffix “ator” or “inator” may be added for extra emphasis and the illusion that said name is even grander than once thought, i.e. The Mominator. This is also effective to “nounize” a verb, i.e. The Lickinator, or The Cleaninator.

4. Anything to be fought against (weapon) must end in the phrase “of death”, however, since we are kinder gentler superheros, “of doom” will suffice, i.e. The Giant Gravity Hammer of Doom, or The Enormous Smelly Teenage Sock of Doom.

5. None of us are villains, but occasionally you might run into one. You will recognize them in several ways. Some names will start with “evil”, as in The Evil Dr. Flower Pants. Occasionally the word “evil” will be omitted if the Noun is nasty enough: The Scourge.

More rules to follow as the need for them arises!
