Extreme Measures

Extreme Measures

You must be at least this tall to live

Looks like The Jockey's shortcomings finally caught up with him.

Extreme Measures held the coveted title of Current Champ from Monday, July 14, 2008 to Wednesday, July 16, 2008, heartily vanquishing Jealous Jockey to earn it. Unfortunately, brutal defeat came soon after, at the merciless hands of Governor Mercy.

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…

  1. Does he go buwahahahahaha when he cuts off their heads?

  2. Very nice

  3. If I meet him, I'm doomed. Unless he goes leniant on me cause I'm young.

  4. Great hero! villain? hero!
    I love his cardboard-y outline.
    Are his eyes holes or pegs? Holes would be creepier, pop-eyed pegs would be crazier. Nice job.

  5. Hahaha @ "...to LIVE."

    Would calling him "Ax-treme Measures" been a little overboard?

  6. That's the most body hair I've ever seen on a wooden cut-out. Am I correct in thinking that a shirtless Robin Williams was the model for this hero?

  7. Another classic. And I'm glad we quickly diverged from the lawn theme...

  9. 10/10 for hairy bellies!

    Great that the defeated hero is in the picture.

    He can't be THAT good at swinging that axe judging by all those scars....

  10. Solaana: 1031
    Clearly a clever play on 831 (eight letters, three words, one meaning: I love you)... except here it's ten letters, three words and one meaning: got bow legs?

    RE: Suggesting Heros in the comments... Maybe you guys should add a sentence about that in the SUPER DUPER OBSERVATIONS AND COMMENTS.

  11. SOLAANA: His sign is referring to section 1031 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code which allows investors to defer capital gains taxes on the exchange of like-kind properties. Jockeys LOVE that.

  12. I thought this was a clever and well executed hero.

    (oops...i swear that terrible pun was NOT intended when I wrote it. many apologies. I really did like this one)

  13. I love all the scars over his body. You can never be too careless with an enormous axe. I also love how the hair looks like it's almost exploding from his belly button. It's like a hairy fourth of July.

  14. I am also a fan of the hairness of this super hero. The font is also very well done: MEASURES looks as though is made out of hair, and the E and S have axe shaped endings. Very well done Sutter (who everytime I read your name I think Stutter, sorry)

  15. Superbananana: That's ok. It's certainly not the first time I've heard it. I did go to middle school after all. :)

A Random Hero!

Prince Charming

The incontestable bane of step-family. Step-dad will probably just be forced to dance in heated iron shoes, brought forth with tongs, until he dies. That seems to be a popular punishment among fairy-tale royalty.
