Truth, Justice, and the Wormy Way

Happy Halloween Readers,

Today is a big day for this worm. The Agriculturalist and La Vaca have presented me with a special gift. . . my very first superhero costume. Crafted by the skilled hands of The Seamstress (or Auntie Cath for those who do not run in superhero circles), it is a thing of beauty.

One of the things you learn early on as a superhero is that the best disguise is no disguise. By that I mean that if you dress up in spandex and fight crime, you stand out. If that is your goal then by all means go for it; I won't judge. But if you are into being a bit stealthier, if you like to watch and calculate your moves before you strike, then blending in is your best weapon. And yet, although I have been trained in the latter the former is way more fun. Today I get the best of both worlds. Today is the one day of the year that you can dress up in your crime fighting outfit and blend in. Everyone is dressed up. They think you are part of the crowd. In fact they even come close up and tell me I am cute. They bend towards me and make googly eyes and cooing noises. "That's it", I think. "Just a little bit closer". "Just one more inch", and then WHAMMO! The worm gets you. Composted!

Here is the epic looking image that should grace most everyone's desktop and should haunt the minds of those who do evil.

Here is one that shows off my flying ability (you didn't know I could fly, I know).

P.S. For those of you who think I look less like a worm and more like a flying turd...well I am going to get you.
