Dealing with a Valentine's Day hangover, I thought it only appropriate to give the day's star a few more minutes of fame. While Santa has the whole holiday season covered, and the Tooth Fairy is on notice year round, Cupid has one day to shine. Valentines Day. The cute baby barring only a pair of wings, a diaper, quiver of arrows, and a bow has become a very familiar image to all of us. I know there is a long history of Cupid, but I'm not so sure I believe it. Cupid for centuries has supposedly been shooting star-crossed lovers causing them to fall in love and live happily ever after. So what happens, when Cupid himself falls in love? Or wishes to fall in love? Or has outgrown that diaper? My theory is one day Cupid got sick of everybody staring at this 17-year-old kid walking around in nothing but a diaper. Even the girl he had fallen in love with called him "Diaper Rash," which he would never admit to being quite accurate. To make it worse, the girl was dating his best friend from elementary school, East R. Bunny. Sure he was kind of hairy and had buck teeth, but at least he wore clothes (no matter how pastel they were). Tired of being a wimpy boy in a diaper, he went home and ripped down all the red, pink, and white wallpaper and vowed to change.With that in
mind, I now turn your attention to one of the only weapon-barring superheroes in history. The Green Arrow. Superhero History 101 states that all superheroes are molded in their childhood to become the heroes they are meant to be. Is it possible that Cupid's tortured childhood caused him to take up a secret idenity and fight crime? Seriously, how many blond headed people are known for their archering skills? Two: Cupid and the Green Arrow. Have your ever seen them in the same place at the same time? Didn't think so. So this Valentines Day, or day after, you find yourself cursing Cupid for his missing arrows, just remember; it is possible you are sacrificing your forever happiness with another so crime can be put to rest. I am not trying to rat out a superhero's secret idenity, but given those of you assurance that Cupid/Green Arrow did not forget you this Hallmark Holiday Season, in turn he is saving you from the evil super villians that indanger us all. Until next time... same Otter Time, same Otter Website...
