BALDSDAY! - An American Icon

Blinded by the light…or is that the shine from his forehead?  Presenting…

BALDSDAY!

Hey peeps! Welcome to Baldsday! Here we celebrate all things Vs. and talk about how we can make the game we all love so much, even better.

First, the final wrap up from the EA challenge!

Robert won first prize and will be getting the Fing Fang Foom playmat.
Chester will be getting some prize cards.
Suneater will be given access to the fanset I am creating once it is done.
(Postage to Singapore was just not worth it to send a couple of cards, so he gets virtual cards that he can print out himself.  It’s not my idea of an ideal prize, but he said that he would be happy with it.)

Please contact me via e-mail (seanthebaldman@hotmail.com) with a shipping address.  And give me a little time…as you read this I am on the beaches of Mexico on my honeymoon and I will not be back for a short while.  (Yet the column continues…perhaps I have mental powers after all.)

Now for today, since we are so close to America’s Independence, I give a tribute to an American Icon…a Leader and a True Hero…a man who has ingenuity and knows what it means to persevere…an intellectual titan…a man with a heart as solid as the metal surrounding it….Tony Stark.

“Born Anthony Edward ‘Tony’ Stark, he is an industrialist playboy and genius engineer who suffers a severe heart injury during a kidnapping and is forced to build a destructive weapon. He instead creates a powered suit of armor to save his life and escape captivity. He later decides to use the suit to protect the world as Iron Man.” [borrowed from wikipedia]

“They say that the best weapon is the one you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree. I prefer the weapon you only have to fire once. That's how Dad did it, that's how America does it... and it's worked out pretty well so far.” [Tony Stark, Iron Man movie, 2008]

If you are American…
So when you celebrate this weekend, please do so safely, and remember the reason we celebrate, and take a moment to think of those who are fighting on our behalf across the world to maintain our freedom.

If you are not American…
Isn’t Iron Man just about the freakin coolest super-hero ever?

This article was written as a prank, (except the very end) since most people would expect Captain America to be featured in any article about America and Freedom, especially in light of his recent ‘rebirth’. If you feel the need to leave feedback like this was real and I was being serious, you need to take a step back, and be thankful you read the fine print before you exploded. Have a great weekend, whether you celebrate the holiday or not. I am in Mexico, and will be walking the beach drinking a Corona as you read this.

Do you have feedback from something you did that was particularly fun, or have an idea for a future Baldsday? Do you have some fan created cards lying around that are just dope?  Do you have feedback you would like to share?  Then contact me at seanthebaldman@hotmail.com or leave a comment.  Feedback is always welcome!
