Anonymous said...: What's with superheroes and destroying cities as equally as much as villains. I swear in one episode Superman leveled down and ENTIRE FUCKING HOSPITAL and that just wasn't a big enough deal. Y'know there tend to be people in hospitals but whatever.; December 3, 2011 at 4:57 PM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: It's the lesser of two evils...one smashed up hospital is worth saving the whole planet.; December 3, 2011 at 4:58 PM
Timothy S. Brannan said...: I am not concerned with that. This is the best damn Superman scene ever. Someone has needed to bitch-slap Darksied for a long time.; December 3, 2011 at 5:00 PM

Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: Did Superman at least apologize and say 'My bad'? Destroying a hospital does seem like something Superman would avoid doing if he could.; December 3, 2011 at 5:18 PM

Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: There used to be a funny comic called 'Damage Control' which was about the construction team that is called to fix things after Superhero/Supervillain fights wreck stuff.; December 3, 2011 at 5:27 PM

Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: Just the cost of doing business in the big city. And that company had access to equiptment that can fix things without having to rebuild them from scratch.; December 3, 2011 at 5:36 PM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
