After the ride, Diane, Wes and I hit the old green cricket café. I enjoyed a breakfast quesadilla, although I couldn’t finish the entire thing. On Kerry’s recommendation I tried a glass of chocolate milk as a recovery drink. Tasted good, but did upset the tummy just a little. Plumbing disasters and all, it was a hell of a good weekend. I think it’s nap time now.

The Devil...

disclaimer:
This is not my original idea, it was inspired by something I heard on the radio. It is my take on it.

so basically, you diet your but off, you work hard at the gym, you are putting in the miles,you are starting to see results. The morning starts, it's 8:00 am, you have your normal coffee, light sugar no cream, gotta avoid the extra calories. Then you notice that some dude brought in a box of doughnuts. You say to yourself, "I don't need that crap" you've been working hard, making all the right choices. You are proud of your decision to abstain from the sweet stuff

But there they are, like crack, a fresh box of is calling your name. you know you shouldn't do it, but you figure what the frig' you've been working hard. So you fire back a doughnut, and finish off your coffee. Man you are on a sugar rush now, high as a kite, bouncing around the office. You feel more productive than you ever have in your life. Then it hits, the lull after the high. You come crashing to halt. You need a nap, you are slowly but surely grinding to a halt. You need another cup of coffee. It's 9:00 am

So you freshin' up the joe, and there they are the doughnuts. Still fresh, still sweet still easy to do. you say to yourself, damn, I had one, what's a second gonna hurt? So you take your fresh coffee, and you fire back another doughnut and it goes down even faster than the first. Bam, you are instantly up again, you are on fire, you like the feeling and say what the hell, I'm going for broke, a third, and maybe even a fourth. They are so tasty and sweet. You are a machine, moving at 100 miles an hour, emails are all clear, orders processed. Can anyone stop you? how can something that gives you so much energy be bad. it's 10:00am

finally, you sit at your desk. Everything has passed. The sugar high, gone, you are grinding so slowly that no amount of coffee in the world can bring you back to level. You feel like you've been on a weekend bender with the folks that make the girls gone wild videos. what will your parents think? You think about your tally, 6 doughnuts, 4 cups of coffee, that has to be like a million calories. It's quarter 'till 11:00. Your day is shot dude. Might as well take a halfer...

Doughnuts are evil.

The Mighty Spot Brand Factory Team

They are Earth's mightiest middle age single speeders, formed to fight the foes no single single speeder could withstand. The Mighty Spot Brand Team are the most prestigious and powerful singlespeeders in the world, devoted to protecting the planet from menaces beyond the scope of conventional authorities.

Matt (run forest) Thomson
Matt can cover his body in fire, fly at supersonic speeds, project fireballs or other fire objects, manipulate existing flame, and absorb heat with some mental strain. He can generate a nova-level burst of flame, one million degrees Fahrenheit, although this usually exhausts his powers for some time. Under normal usage, he is able to maintain his flame form for up to 17 hours.

Mark (Elk) Elssasor
Mark is in peak physical condition and is highly skilled in multiple forms of armed and unarmed combat. He is an expert strategist and sharpshooter, and has undergone SEAL (SEa Air Land), UDT (Underwater Demolition Team), and LRPA (Long Range Patrol) training. He is an expert with various firearms, explosives, and bladed weapons. His pain threshold is unbelievably high (he frequently performs surgery on himself without pain medication) and his ability to take punishment borders on the supernatural.

(SPOT) Paul Incognito
Paul is superhumanly strong, able to lift/press approximately 25 tons and punch through barriers as thick as four-inch steel plate. His skin is steel-hard and his muscles and bone tissue super-dense; he can withstand conventional handgun fire at a range of four feet and cannot be cut by the sharpest of blades, although in the event of required surgery his skin can be lacerated by an overpowered medical laser. He can withstand up to one-ton impacts or blasts of 150 pounds of TNT without serious injury, and is impervious to temperature extremes and electrical shocks. His recovery time from injury or trauma is usually one-third that of an ordinary human.

Buddy (the leg breaker) Briggs
According to MTBR files, Buddy, a.k.a. the leg breaker was born Norman Briggs to a well-off family in Alberta, Canada, in the late 1800s. Long-lived due to his mutant healing factor, Buddy has been a sailor, soldier, mercenary, government operative, and spy, amongst others. His involvement with the Weapon X program resulted in him being grafted with a virtually indestructible Adamantium skeleton and fine-tuned to be a brutal killing machine. Brigg’s severed ties with the Canadian government after joining The Mighty Spot Brand Team, and has remained a loyal fixture with the team ever since. Recently, Buddy was brainwashed into acting as an agent of Hydra until reprogramming by MTBR. Buddy is an extremely dangerous and unpredictable foe.

Todd (el Presidente) Forest
Todd has mastered many technological fields, and is an expert on genetic manipulation and engineering, with knowledge far beyond that of contemporary science. He is considered to be a genius in these fields. He can mutate humans in order to give them superhuman powers, or create adult clones of human beings and then manipulate the genetic structures of these clones during their development. He has also learned how to create artificial living beings. Master of Magnetism

Mark (Fitzy) Fitzwater
Mark can transform his body tissue into an organic, steel-like substance that grants him superhuman strength and a high degree of imperviousness to injury. His armored form can withstand ballistic penetration as well as temperature extremes from 70º above absolute zero (-390º F) to approximately 9000º F. Mark cannot become partially or selectively armored; his body is either entirely converted, or not at all. Even his eyes become steel-like.

Marc “fatmarc” Vettori
Marc’s mutant powers relate to the mass, strength, resilience and indestructibility of his obese body. His primary ability is to become virtually immovable at will as long as he is in contact with the ground. He does this by bonding himself to the earth beneath him by force or will, which in effect creates a monodirectional increase of gravity beneath him. This gravity field extends about five feet in radius from his center of balance. Thus if there is sufficient power to uproot him, it would take the ground beneath his feet in an area corresponding to the radius of the field. Through intense concentration, the Marc is able to extend the gravity field beneath him farther than five feet.
