Amusing tidbit about my son...

[Mister Ed Horse of a Different Color Find all posts View Profile Close Mister Ed]

My 4-year-old son has a favorite pair of underpants. They are black. That, of course, is not what is amusing. Many little kids have a favorite pair of underpants.

What I find endlessly amusing is that he refers to them as his "Black Vulcan underpants".

Apparently those old Superfriends DVDs I checked out from the library made an impression.

You know what you must do now, right?

Go out and buy him the shirt, gloves, boots and mask to complete his costume. He can't fight super-child crime in just his underwear.

See, the only reason Namor gets away with that is he has that badass catchphrase, "Imperius rex!", which he shouts before clobbering dudes. Ed Jr. isn't that far in life...yet.

The real question is, would a white kid dressed up as "Black Vulcan" be seen as cute, or would somebody take offense?

(And quite frankly, I think he'd be perfectly comfortable fighting crime WITHOUT his underwear. Only the insistence of his parents, and the extreme annoyance of his 11-year-old brother, stop him from running around naked for extended periods.)

I think it'd be hysterical!!

Doubtful. Grown men wear jerseys of other races all the time without incident. Just over the weekend, I wore a Tim Lincecum jersey and nobody looked at me like I'm an "oreo."

Just keep him far away from the Boondocks and he'll be A-okay.

He's a kid, I don't see why it would be offensive. The only way it would be offensive is if you son went black face like Joey Lawrence's character did on an episode of Gimme a Break.

And good on your son for selecting an old school character.

He'll be fine; just look at that Blue Rajah guy from Mystery Men. No racially-offended Indians attacked him.

That we KNOW of.

Many months to Halloween. I may try to gauge his interest in pulling this off. I would find it hilarious, though I fully expect the need for a constant stream of explanations to puzzled people.

Shockingly, I've found that not everybody remembers the Superfriends.

That is awesome Mister Ed! My kids still love Superfriends. Here's one about one of my kids...once as I was coming down the stairs at our old place I noticed the front door open (never a good sign) I look and there's my 4 year old son butt naked with a Darth Vader mask swinging a light saber in the doorway.

actually, if M.E. wanted to have some fun w/this he should get him the rest of the BV-outfit, acquire another for himself, and go out on Halloween as the team of "Super Volt & 'Lil Sparx" ("Super Volt" being the name BV wanted to use, but got denied becuz of some thing or other, as he tells us on Harvey Birdman)!!

.......and natch, he must provide pics. ;P
