Fun with Telekinesis

[malachitefer]

I think the additional ability I'd most like to have is telekinesis. I wouldn't want to let on that I have the ability, though, 'cause that would just spoil the fun. I'm making a list of the various things that I will do once I figure out how to move things without touching them

I would surrender to the temptation to firmly assist those pants on their inevitable downwards journey

Not me. I would give them the wedgies of their little lives. But I am widely known to be a Mean Person.

Ah, but giving them a wedgie defies gravity. It's a teachable moment (to quote a former dean of ours). There are lessons to be learned here about gravity and practical clothing choices.

I would use the power of my mind and a Sharpie marker to play Punctuation Avenger on signs for which I would otherwise need a ladder.

I would use it to fight crime! I would become the Litterbug Avenger.

That's actually why I'm so fond of the movie "Unbreakable" and several of the more recent superhero movies ("Spiderman" and the first two "X-Men"). I like the whole "so, you have this cool power. Now what?" theme. There's just enough of a hint that perhaps saving the world would not necessarily be the first choice of many people.
