Pounding The Keyboard

       The Boys is now on its 4 th season—five episodes are now available to watch, five bloody, brutal, gruesome and highly entertaining episodes. The Boys is about lab-made superheroes who abuse their superpowers and wreak chaos and havoc on the people instead of protecting them and the vigilantes (composed of ordinary people) called The Boys who are determined to stop them.     Homelander, the strongest (he has powers similar to Superman’s), the baddest and the most terrifying superhero in the world, is now determined to control and rule the world—and The Boys are still trying their best to stop him.

       Last week, while in a mall, I went to the grocery store and took a detour to the liquor section to pick up some beer. As I was grabbing a few cans of beer, three young ladies (looking around 16-18 years old)   approached the section and grabbed two bottles of gin, the one with the angel and demon on its label, a liquor far stronger than beer. Beer is a fading Manny Pacquiao, gin is Mike Tyson in his prime.      “Make it three,” one of the girls suggested, “so it will be a very happy night for us.”      The other two girls giggled and agreed and picked up another bottle of gin. It seemed that the alcoholic drinks were for them, and how their eyes lightened up while holding the bottles. And they didn’t bother getting some chaser.      I put the four cans of beer in my cart and strolled away, hoping that if the liquors were really for them, that they weren’t minors and that they drank m...
