That, my friends, is an amazing image. In my head, the photo is actually a still from the awesomest lo-budget superhero movie ever yet to be made. "Yes, Silverflame," Blackhawk drawls, "The Venger has struck again and left his calling-card. It's the mayor's daughter who's in danger this time." Jump-cut to a McMansion standing in for the Mayorial Residence, where ski-masked goons with SMGs are jumping out of a pair of cars with Michigan rental tags (despite the fact that The Venger is an evil billionaire and the movie is ostensibly set in New York)--cue action theme!.
But please, don't let the bizarre reality of the scene--masked fighters behold the Mother Of God on a cooktop!--or my imagining hamper you any. In the tradition of Marvel Comics' classic No-Prizes, I hereby offer an Imaginary Awesome Thing to the reader who submits the best caption to the above image. The Imaginary Awesome Thing will be announced in the comments and telepathized instantly to the winner anywhere in the universe he or she chooses to collect it.
(Yes, I'm cheap. More importantly, I'm also lazy. Sorry.)
