Here is an actual conversation that I had with my daughter when we were having dinner at one of those salad / buffet places. I love how she just accepts my humor.
She came back from the bread and pasta area with some macaroni and cheese and said, “Is this macaroni and cheese good?”
I replied, “It’s right in front of you. Why don’t you just try it?”
“I’m afraid of it. It looks weird.”
“It’s cooked pasta covered in a light cheese sauce. It has no offensive capabilities. You are quite safe.”
“Okay.”

Recently, the talking heads on television have been referring to something called the Heroic Age.
Apparently, after decades spent as boozing self-destructive narcissistic assholes, the so-called heroes of the world have decided to actually behave like heroes. Whoop-dee-frikin-doo. Wolverine decides to shave and we need to create a new update graphic on CNBC. Hey! News flash! The Avengers have decided to fight that giant monster on the outskirts of town instead of on top of your house! Just another example of how life is different in the heroic age! Hulk says, “Sorry” after destroying most of downtown Boston! It’s the goddamn Heroic Age!!
At least villains are consistent. I’m always evil. Well, okay, there was that time I was exposed to red kryptonite and I became good. No wait, that was Superboy. Why does there have to be an age! An age is at least a century right? There’s no way the heroes are going to last that long. It’s going to be more like the Heroic Couple of Weeks! The next thing you know, they’ll catch Daredevil in a strip club wearing a trench coat slumped over a cheap drink.
Heroic age my ass.
