I just now got the joke

I was straightening up some videos and I caught a glimpse of the tagline for Mystery Men.

No, the guy at the pro shop did it.

"They're not your average superheroes."

See, I just now got that joke. Because they're below average. So they're not average. Get it?

Yeah, like you've never taken ten years to get a joke.

Those jokes are the best kind. Once they marinate like that for 10 years, they're so delicious.

I made my kids watch this movie -- just like I made them watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I didn't want to go through life with them not getting half my references. Like when were putting out the mulch in July: "God's given me a gift. I shovel well. I shove very well."
