In JC’s writing today, he mentions his 39th birthday being today … but the BB page says there’re no birthdays today. Is it really JC’s birthday??? And is he really 39???
As JC stated in his article:
Good writers do not lie, so, that means he is 39 and today is his birthday. I am shocked that you would question “Superman”!! :shock: 
hi betty
no, jc is not 39 today. he is four days younger than i am, and i was born april 21, 1935. you do the math.
grumps
:roll: Duh … I flipped through my “life line” (day scheduler), and there! low and behold!! I have JC’s birthday on April 25!! I wasn’t questioning the age … OK … I was … but to not acknowledge the day was just not right!!! :lol:
:roll:
I am pretty sure I have never written anything that was a downright lie, even if it might have seemed like a good idea at the time. And I have only stretched things when it was absolutely necessary. Stuff like how many fish I caught, how far I can cast and how old I am.
So, there you have it. Here on my thirty-ninth birthday I will go outside today and practice my distance casting (going for beyond 110 feet) so I can reach those ten pound brookies in a secret lake I know of just five minutes from here. ~ James Castwell
I’ve heard of fisher persons being accused of lying, but SUPERMAN? 
Could it be that Superman has been flying around saving the day for so long now, that when he did stop to write this weeks article he thought it was his 39th birthday not realizing it has long since passed?
Superman first appeared in Action Comics in June 1938.
Superman lived a double life with a false identity as Clark Kent. He even got a job under that name like an illegal alien in a meat packing plant. He was a pathological liar, a fraud, and an undocumented worker. Interesting how he became the iconic fictional champion of “truth, justice, and the American way,” huh?
Of course, JC was just kidding. It’s a testament to his mediocre writing skills that he failed to adequately get that point across. :lol:
Ah ha, but you did get it! 
Oh…yeah. :shock:
:roll: A little slowly, but yep, I did.
Betty, Not only am I a fan of Castwell but Superman as well. If you were a fan you would realize that by flying faster than the speed of light counter to the rotation of the earth at the equator, Superman can reverse time and make himself any age he darn well pleases. I have seen him do that to correct and eliminate a backcast that He somehow failed to keep Uppeth!
( for those nitpickers , yes I know, how could I have seen it if it was faster than the speed of light ) ( heck I can’t give you ALL the answers, some of it you have to figure out on your own ) :lol: :lol:
Ps. Silver Mallard … Note superman was a Canadian invention.
Alzheimer’s?, Dementia?, Shingles?, Hardening of the Artery (near brain)?
Tyrone, I’m sorry you had to show that comic front page because it shows Superman has some,
‘Anger Issues!’
It is also disturbing that Superman has something against 38 Plymouths! :shock:
It could also have something to do with the fact, Superman did hero stuff most of his life and this was his ‘First’ article???
(He’s NOT a Multi-Tasker!)
Doug P.S. Gnu Bee, WHY is a Canadian destroying a American CAR???
Betty;
Jack Benny stopped counting at 39! Could this be JC’s reasoning? I stopped counting at 24 and just celebrate that one every year.
JC sure did set the world on fire with his Superman gig. It’s been the hottest topic around!! And Betty… WE WERE THERE!!!
Keep him away from the Krypton.
The answer is obvious. When JC wrote this story he was 39. Due to Superman’s ability to time travel 'cause he can go faster than the speed of light. He wrote this the other day many years ago and brought it back with him.

PS - Superman, when you next go back to 1959 can you ask my 4th grade teacher to see if I left my sweater in her classroom. Thanks,

As someone who is REALLY 39, and a native of Kansas to boot, I can say, without fear of contradiction, that JC is an old fart and a flyfisherman, neither of which are known for their truthfulness.
But since this is his site, I have to say that he is honest and handsome, as well. And not a bad angler, although I have never actually seen him catch a fish…

So Superman was a Canadian illegal immigrant who sought and gained employment in the US using a fake identity from Kansas. What’s your point?
Next time we start to bust on all those “undocumented workers,” maybe we should stop and think about the great icon of “truth, justice, and the American way,” huh? In many ways, we create our own reality. And we always reap what we sew. Is the irony lost on everyone but me?
As for JC, I have more respect for someone who can don a Superman costume and wear it in public in his golden years (outside of the nursing home) than I would for some young body-builder or Hollywood type. And I think he writes just fine. Good writing makes us think. And JC’s efforts always seem to make us do just that. Although I do disagree with him about “good writing” always having to be “nice.” Sometimes, you have to be cruel to be kind. But I do think tact and decorum should be considered valuable commodities only to be forsaken when there is strong cause.
