My 4th of July Posting .. about SIX weeks too late?

.. or maybe 45 weeks too early for next year? Come inside for the failed caption and the new one!


Yeah, please read the one that is "incomplete" first, that starts out, "C'mon in everyone!" Then you can read the new aka REAL one that starts out with "Steve Rogers was just .."


I had written out the first one back before the 4th, but just wasn't feeling it, and had a few paragraphs left for me to type out when I just gave up. Looking at what Cheeto Mussolini had designed for our parade was a "May Day" embarrassment of old cold war propaganda that only yahoos would enjoy. Yeah, who doesn't want to see tanks rolling down the middle of Washington, DC? WTF! And I need the deplorables to see the light, but there's no way I should give them a new life they don't deserve.

So, I gave up on the caption at the time. Today I was trying to figure out what caption to post tonight, and there's three available. But for some reason, I wanted to take a swipe at this one again .. whatever I came up with was what I was going to post, I decided, no matter how bad it was.

I thought first of a superhero .. and did a riff on Captain America .. so I came up with her name first, well the beginning of her name. Then I decided to come up with her back story of how she came to be, and I figured stilted words filled with pomp and circumstance, filled with bits and pieces of patriotic songs and hymns would be the way to go, and it reads about like I expected it to sound.

Then I had to get to her actual superpower. Other than the change of gender, she didn't look much different than your ordinary woman. Then when I looked at her mid-section, I was taken in for a moment, and yeah .. it's where the caption went a bit more ape-shit that it had before. I figured, it could be like Wonder Woman's lasso of truth .. and to be honest, I think it's the first time that anyone can justify a female superhero dressing up in a skimpy, clingy costume!

So yeah. Happy 4th of July in the middle of August! Let me know what you think about the real caption, though you can compare it to the first one if you so desire. I mostly posted it here so you could see why I didn't put it up here on the blog originally.

I kind of forget that many of my readers are from nations that aren't America! Hopefully this will still read well for you, and it's not like Steve Rogers is unknown in the Marvel Universe, right? I mean, I've never seen a Marvel Universe movie, but I know he's had a few movies set there!
