marymc says,

What's your super-power?

accidentaltourist says,

Batman, is that you?

canadafreeze says,

I love subtle ;-)

Dean6805 says,

Mary, I can't tell you. AT, I'm too chipper to be Batman. CF, thank you. ;)

accidentaltourist says,

Batman could be chipper . . . if not for the cave living.

canadafreeze says,

I just figured it out. Dean''s super power is ... wait for it ... subtlety. Am I right?

Dean6805 says,

Yeah... I'm about as subtle as a kick to the crotch.

canadafreeze says,

ouch ... didn't see that one coming ...

accidentaltourist says,

Concerning that kind of kick...no one ever does, CF.

Dean6805 says,

You guys are the best.

BanjoDan says,

Amigo, i can loan you my Zorro mask

canadafreeze says,

epee?

Wench says,

My super power would probably have something to do with the instant appearance of chocolate chip pancakes.

Believe says,

I love this. Great memoir! I don't think I have a super power.

dakat123 says,

Im thinking Dean6805's superpower might be storytelling. He has a remarkable capability of recall -- dialogue, setting -- and his descriptive abilities, vocabulary and wit are astounding. As for a superhero name .... I'll get back to you. But there must be a cape, tights and a utility belt.

Dean6805 says,

Dakat is too kind. I simply get wrapped up in the recollection of funny events. And I'm constantly surrounded by funny events. Such as when a co-worker this afternoon who, upon being informed that a potential student has had bedwetting problems (we're a residential school), asked "Does this mainly happen at night?" I can't make this stuff up.

canadafreeze says,

TFF... really.

oopsalittle says,

Ha! Kudos

bbhead says,

This is so endearing.

canadafreeze says,

Kudos, Subtleman;-)

sisterpoet says,

Dean, I am pretty sure whatever your power is it is not overpowering. I think whatever it is , you wear it well.

Dean6805 says,

Thank you, everyone. I think my super power is my friends - Six-Worders or "real-life," you guys make my day... every day.

Bevvie says,

kudos on the MOTD!

Level1 says,

Congrats on the MOTD, well deserved :-)

Dean6805 says,

Thanks, Bevvie & Lev!

tonyglim says,

Congrats on the MOTD! I should start wearing a black undershirt.

Dean6805 says,

Tonyglim, you totally should. You'd be amazed by the confidence it instills.

MO_Thoughts2 says,

Congrats on the MOTD. We all knew you had superpowers ...

Dean6805 says,

Thanks, MO.

Katcan says,

Great MOTD!! Superpower Juggling!?! Words, movements, sound and turning them into magical communication!! I guess that includes defining bedwetting!! That does happen at night? Right?

Loon says,

Emperor's new robes are dark undergarments...

accidentaltourist says,

Dean deservedly achieves rock star status.

JAD says,

Congrats! more Superpower! to ya!
