In my day as a crime fighter, I've had a number of great adventures... like the time I battled my arch enemy, Archibald N. Amie'. Hmmm, I wonder if he could bring a lawsuit on me for talking about the details of it? I guess I should consult my attorney first. Actually, it wasn't really a battle as much as it was a disagreement. More like a misunderstanding. I'll have to get back to you on this memoir thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MM&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19339856-113596899238378426?l=themasktmelvin.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themasktmelvin.blogspot.com/feeds/113596899238378426/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19339856&amp;postID=113596899238378426' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19339856/posts/default/113596899238378426'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19339856/posts/default/113596899238378426'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themasktmelvin.blogspot.com/2005/12/it-was-dark-stormy-night.html' title='It was a dark stormy night...'/><author><name>masktmelvin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15988534806965035396</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04663328343476907080'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19339856.post-113451316620959542</id><published>2005-12-13T14:23:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-12-13T14:32:46.216-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Met with  Roselli, my "boy wonder" attorney...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5308/1245/1600/heroforhire.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5308/1245/320/heroforhire.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...truth be known, he's the one who probably got me into the mess I'm in, now.

Whatever.&lt;br /&gt;Here's one version of an origin story:&lt;br /&gt;Far, far away, in a distant solar system lay the planet, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;MELVA!&lt;br /&gt;Melva was inhibited by a civilization of real smart alecks, who were always trying to one-up each other in the brains department. One of them was a scientist who predicted that the planet was about to explode. Nobody really paid him any attention, because they were too busy trying to prove that the planet wasn't about to explode.&lt;br /&gt;Undaunted and pretty darn cocksure of himself, the scientist built a little baby spaceship and promptly put his little baby inside, blasting him off to another planet in another solar system, that he hoped might sustain life.&lt;br /&gt;Boy was his face red. It seems that he had miscalculated and the planet wasn't about to explode. They did, however, get an above average amount of rain that week.&lt;br /&gt;I'm not really sure what happened to the kid, but I was thinking that it would make a really cool origin story. I'm negotiating the rights with Paul Garner...I'll get back to you on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19339856-113348085851852696?l=themasktmelvin.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themasktmelvin.blogspot.com/feeds/113348085851852696/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19339856&amp;postID=113348085851852696' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19339856/posts/default/113348085851852696'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19339856/posts/default/113348085851852696'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themasktmelvin.blogspot.com/2005/12/origins.html' title='Origins...'/><author><name>masktmelvin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15988534806965035396</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04663328343476907080'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19339856.post-113304463772797620</id><published>2005-11-26T14:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-11-26T14:37:17.856-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Who knows what evil lurks....</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3855/1912/1600/maskt_melvin_is_copyright_2005_dan_garner.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3855/1912/320/maskt_melvin_is_copyright_2005_dan_garner.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...not me, I'm sorta out of the loop on the whole &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"evil lurking"&lt;/span&gt; thing.
