Reasonable Doubt: Bucketman to the rescue Sat, 17 May 2008 21:44:50 -0500
I was sitting with some friends on the front porch of Mug Shotz coffee shop, enjoying a rare non-rainy May evening, when we saw a strange sight. Imagine that in Bowling Green. Striding confidently down Old Morgantown Road came a guy in a black apron, with a white towel wagging from his back jeans pocket. Perched on his head was a shiny galvanized bucket, worn low over the eyes like a knight’s helmet. Maybe he was just crazy. Maybe he was a waiter returning to work after a multi-beer dinner break. But I’m hoping this signified something more. I’m hoping he was a superhero. We could use one. I’m not implying that our current law enforcement is inadequate; it’s just that every town of any size can use a costumed crimefighter. If Bowling Green wants its image to match its continued growth, we should have a hero. Gotham City has Batman, and while it looks huge in comics, it doesn’t really exist. Superman’s official hometown is Metropolis, Ill., which has only 6,500 people. If imaginary and tiny places can afford world-class superheroes like that, surely we can manage one of our own. Perhaps the city can apply for a federal Homeland Security grant to equip him. Iron Man built his own armor, but then he had a weapons designer’s know-how and resources to call upon. We’ll probably have to make do with whatever’s available at Wal-Mart and Home Depot. That’s nothing to sneeze at; I had one friend obsessed with making body armor from PVC pipe, and in the right spot a hedge trimmer can be a fearsome weapon. I realize that I’ve been saying “he” and “him” exclusively. I don’t mean to disqualify women, but a glance over the shelves at The Great Escape shows that most superheroes are male. The few women are usually so scantily clad that they’d have to limit local operations to May through October. Most male heroes could be wearing thermal underwear and battery-heated socks with no one the wiser. What else does a superhero need? A secret identity, for one thing. Clark Kent’s disguise of eyeglasses seemed effective enough to fool millions, so a bucket over some guy’s head should be more than adequate around here. When not fighting crime, a good hero needs a steady gig. Mild-mannered reporter or playboy billionaire are always popular ones, but I don’t know how well they’d fit in here (none of the reporters I know could ever make physically convincing superheroes). Maybe our new champion can adopt the persona of a college student or paralegal, to reflect more typical local occupations. Ooh! I almost forgot a hideout and crime-fighting lab! Antarctica belongs to Superman, and while we could probably find a local cave nicer than anything Batman has, that’s been overdone. I suggest 1310 College St. That’s the house that John and Alisa Carmichael have valiantly been trying to restore to its antique glory. For decades before that, the big old house - popularly known as “the Castle” - was split into 11 apartments. But the Carmichaels are moving, and the house is up for sale. I had several friends who lived there in its creaky-apartment days, so I know there are all kinds of crevices and steps to nowhere that would make great secret passages. The ceiling in the basement apartment (rented by a very short friend of mine) was only about 5-feet-9-inches high, with concrete walls and floors, close enough to being a cave. That’s enough to start with. If our mysterious friend takes those steps, he should be ready for his public debut. I will be glad to present him to an awed Bowling Green: Faster than a speeding Honda on Scottsville Road, able to leap small buildings when nobody’s looking - it’s a Mammoth Cave bat, it’s an AGR hazing victim! No, it’s Bucketman! So, just what will Bucketman do on duty? I expect that he’ll come with some Bowling Green-sized powers. These don’t have to be anything world-class. After all, being a superhero is more about attitude and tights than amazing abilities. Just look at Aquaman. He made the Justice League of America by saying “I can swim really well.” Green Arrow got his own comic book by hitting Robin Hood’s yard sale and practicing a lot of bowhunting. Really, how often are those abilities called upon? Most crimes and/or emergencies can be dealt with through standard super powers like speed and strength. As small as Bowling Green still is, there’s not even a real need to fly, so long as Bucketman’s powers include blazing bicycle speeds to escape traffic jams. If he’s still looking for routines, however, I have some suggestions. Perhaps he can develop incredible bug-zapping powers to use against the nearly-super-villain Slumlord on Adams and Clay streets. If he goes in for a Batman-style utility belt, it can include a can of odor neutralizer to spray women who wear a whole bottle of cloying perfume at once, and guys who think one shower a week is enough. Maybe super-persuasive powers would be a good choice, if he really wants to take the burden off police. Bucketman can convince the new neighbors to turn down the music before people like me call the cops with a noise complaint again. If all else fails, his costume itself can drive his powers, like the super-suit bestowed upon “The Greatest American Hero” in the ’70s sitcom. His dramatic black apron stands ready to repel the stains of evil. His heroic towel will wipe the streets clean of crime and spilled drinks. And if anything needs bailing, or quantities of up to a gallon need holding, Bucketman will be there.
