Dear Nate,
As I am typing, there is an office flair fight going on right before my eyes. Let me lay it out for you:

Team Super Hero: You've heard about him often but I might as well give a few details. Mr. Bottle cap glasses, side slung fanny pack (right at the natural waist of course), pleated pant wearing IT man loves figurines. And I mean, loves them. He's got a perfectly ordered row of Lego men, police, Captain America, Tick, that guy who's made of Rock, Hulk, and Wolverine figurines. Behind him sits large and menacing Hulk and Tick guys on his file cabinet with that Star Wars robot R10D10, or whatever his name is (Because what would this fight be without a Star Wars robot?).

Now, to our left.

Team Super Canada: I haven't seen him yet but I assume he is dressed like a Mountie, but that's just a hunch. Anywhoo, he's waving his Canada flag with pride and has taped postcards containing pictures of all not-to-be missed Canadian highlights. You know, totem poles, moose, and of course, mounties in their oh-so chic red uniforms (When are our cops going to learn? Red riding pants are much more intimidating...).

OK, so here's what's happened so far: I first noticed the brawl because FannyPack Man (For the protection of pencils, wallets, keys and more!) walked by Mr. Mountie's desk and eyed it for a few seconds. You could feel the stealing of thunder. FannyPack Man grazed one of the postcards, guffawed and moved on.
Hours later, I noticed the usually meticulous row of action heroes was in disarray. Pilgrim lego lady was leaned over in a "I'm about to be sick" manner, the tick was face down (he must have been flicked) and Marvin the Martian was missing from sight. What happened to the Super Forces that be?
Coincidence, you say? I think not.
That Mr. Mountie is certainly stealth, I'll give him that.
Will FannyPack Man, the protector of keys, wallets and small plastic men fight back?
More to come as this serious battle for top flair continues...
