debatably useful superpowers: three examples

Appalachian Scabshift
Power Description: Using the power of my mind, I can teleport three scabs on my body anywhere within the Appalachian mountain range. (Note: Any attempt to teleport more or less than three scabs will give me a debilitating full-body ice-cream headache. So please don’t ask me to try.)

Ranchemy
Power Description: I can transmute any condiment into Paul Newman’s Own Ranch Dressing. All I need to do is coat my body with the condiment, clap my hands, and presto! — Ranch dressing for everyone!

Smiley Projection
Power Description: I can transfer my consciousness into the Astral Plane! However, my soul manifests itself in the semblance of Guy Smiley. And I will smell of strong cheese for about three days afterwards. (This may actually constitute two superpowers.)

    Suldog: Oh… we’re just starting. I got millions of these.

    g-dog: I wonder if there is a Wordpress plugin that will automatically insert rimshots after bad jokes…

    birchsprite: And there is no debating the usefulness of that superpower.

  5. g-dog Says:

    A rimshot - that would be cool! What would I get for a good joke?

  6. sween Says:

    A cookie.

  7. g-dog Says:
