The Underminer

The Underminer

Tunnels to potential prankees and warns them.

Sometimes he "warns" them by planting a pick axe in their chest.

The Underminer held the coveted title of Current Champ from Friday, November 09, 2007 to Sunday, November 11, 2007, heartily vanquishing The Prankster to earn it. Unfortunately, brutal defeat came soon after, at the merciless hands of The Baffler.

This hero's magnaminous likeness was captured at the moment of glorious triumph by Sutter .

Audience

Quotes overheard while standing in the crowd that gathered to watch the carnage…

  2. Do you get demerits for referencing the name of a minor character from The Incredibles?

  3. It seems the Underminer's pick axe accidentally burst open a "comment pipe". Well, I am glad for that. And it explains some weird things with the feeds... ;)

  4. Tim - No demerits on this one - I think in this context, the name underminer is too clever to pass up :D
    Andres - Indeed! I switched CMS's, and consequently a new feed got published; what's more, I understand that the feeds might be republishing with every new comment (though Net News Wire isn't doing that for me). If that's the case, I'll be looking into a way to keep each entry from republishing its feed.

  9. I've really been enjoying your series! I am sure you both will be able to sustain The Superest for quite some time ... I'm looking forward to future champions. :-)

    P.S. I too have been seeing your feed republished a lot. I use Google Reader.

  11. As a friend of Andy Havens (and a convert to MTYT), it's great to see the game played at this level.

  12. I know. I was disappointed when I realized the Underminer already existed. Oh well. We're bound to run into a hero sooner or later. Hopefully this carried a pun that the Pixar one did not? :)

  13. I hope he gets defeated by The Dead Canary... enough to scare any miner out of his hole!
