I am preparing to make my debut as Raleigh's first masked Crime-Fighter/Caped-Crusader/Masked Avenger/Protector of Truth and the Innocent, and am in need of a sidekick. Perhaps you have seen my post in the N&O regarding this position opening. I need someone who is available nights and weekends, and who can supply their own costume. I have a car that will be the crime fighting mobile, as yet to be named (that name depends upon the name I chose for my crime-fighting alter ego). It would be cool if you could help out with gas money sometimes, though, if I happen to be short here and there. Discretion is a must as no one must learn of our TRUE IDENTITIES! If they are compromised, so will be our crime-fighting efficacy. This is more of an unpaid internship type situation, so if you're looking to get rich, this might not be for you. Although I would not be surprised if we are presented the KEY TO THE CITY soon after our criminal-foiling commences. If you're looking to fight evil in all its forms and be a beacon of truth and justice, then you have come to the right place. Please send a resume to this post in response. All serious applicants considered. Finalists will be granted a masked "face-to-face" interview in my secret lair, after which, if you are hired, you will learn my TRUE IDENTITY. This is not a sexual thing, although I think we should wear fairly tight-fitting costumes, as we will be scaling fire escapes and leaping from rooftop to rooftop, and will have enough to deal with having capes, much less baggy shorts or something of the like. I should mention that my costume so far consists of a kelly green cape, so that color is taken. You should be encouraged, however, to know that you will be free to pick your own color scheme and costume. I only ask that it semi-compliment mine. I will not discriminate on basis of gender, religion, race, or anything like that- but if someone is pretty buff it is a no-brainer that they will move to the front of the line. I will consider a skinny or out-of-shape person with the right attitude, however, as wonders can be done with a little neoprene padding under lycra! I look forward to perusing your resumes, and all reasonable applicant replies will get a response from me, Raleigh's Avenger of Justice and Freedom as yet to be named!

We had some masked avengers. But, the levy failed, and now we are short masked avengers. My roof will be happy, to have fewer bullet holes in it.

Wow I used to live in Raleigh, NC back in the late 1990s and I never saw an ad like this before when I was there. Go figure!

Great post!

We need a masked superhero in JOCO, and I have the perfect candidate!

Wildfire!

I mean, there can't be too many lawns to mow at this time of year, and having lost another election, he should be readily available. He would not have to speak, just act, which benefits the county almost as much as any criminals he might apprehend!

Yep.

Wildfire for masked avenger!

I think it should be TVg.
On Halloween he used to wear a scary mask but the kids just glanced and asked for candy.
They screamed when he took off the mask.

Point: If he is the official guy, we won't have to buy a mask.

I wonder if anyone but me remembers "Carpet Man and Shag" (the peoples choice forever). They used to appear in local parades, maybe on tv commercials too.

You could have posted this a poll.

Or just forgot it. Razz Big Grin
