Christ on a bike

[liadnan]

Joff tells us that "Terrifica, N.Y.-Based Costumed Protector of Women, Is Targeting Lonely Lotharios."

Would any of the NYC-based readers (and all those I know of are women) care to comment?

Comment One: That's 'Jesus Christ on a bike.'

Comment Two: I'm not really sure I want some caped crusader getting in between me and my plausible deniablity. That being said, if she wanted to roam the subways late at night, poking people that had fallen asleep so they don't miss their stops, that would be a good evening's work.

Forget New York, we need those nearly everywhere! Public transport brings on a coma in me.

'Specially late at night, all alone. Gets me in more trouble ...

You need one of these (http://www.chindogu.com/chindogu/chin4.html)

[fairymelusine.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness. I want that so very much.

Those crazy Japanese, as Joff might say, but unaccountably hasn't.

It is Japanese, isn't it?

Tubes I'm ok with, though I did once leave 20 quids woirth of shopping on one because I was too tired to pay attention. It's nightbuses that get me.


Dr "I'll get a cab" Lovely doesn't have this problem, but the rest of we poor nmortals must make do as best we can.

I had noted this behavior. I found it most puzzling.

Hahahaha! I haven't read all of it - it was a bit long, but, er, three things spring to mind:
1) She trying to become a celebrity, the crazy kid.
2) Do you think she pulls ? Hint: Oh yes.
3) I wonder if she's been wronged.

3) Hint: Oh yes.

[dr-lovely.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think so too. Poor girl.

And this, this, is the city in which you choose to make your home.

[dr-lovely.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, but then again there are nice things too, like the balmy heat and the taxis and the restaurants and the skyscrapers.

You see, the chindogu thing would be where supervillain Fantastico would enact his evil deeds. Possibly by rubbing out the right name and replacing it with 'Fantastico's Silk-Sheeted Four-Poster' as a destination.

Cue much fist-shaking from Terrifica. "I'll get you, you FIEND!"

No, I don't think she's doing it to get famous, poor lady. If any of you feisty gals sees her around, shake her firmly by the hand and say the folks in Blighty are inspired by her (somewhat misguided) efforts.

Maybe she can join a league. Get enough of 'em, and it'll be like a real life Watchmen. Which is about as scary as it gets.

[dr-lovely.livejournal.com]

Yes I will shake her hand.

[liadnan]

Hmmm. You may have something here, but you need to work on her tortured past.

I can protect myself thanks. I've never seen this broad. Though I stopped at an outdoor cafe in NYC last weekend and a fully dressed clown sat down for a meal. For real. Hardly anyone gave her a second look.

[liadnan]

I don't think they would bat an eyelid in London either though, although here people would put that down to English reticence.

Are you someone I know?

[(Anonymous)]

No I don't know you. I found you from Eurotrash's blog which I like very much.

When I tried to post this just now, your blog asked me to "please confirm that you are a human". That made me laugh. I think my new internet name will be Easily Entertained.

[liadnan]

Fair enow, suspected it was something like that, but there are other possibilities and I like to keep tags...

The "are you human" check is some kind of attempt by them to prevent comment spam.
