I’m drinking my good ol’, black, no cream, no sugar, Starbucks swill, when a mob of San Francisco coffee snobs accosts me. Weird hipster hair, scarves, those thick, black-rimmed glasses…you know the deal. Pack leader: “Hey bro, what’s with your low-vibe coffee?” His sycophant lieutenant: “Let’s beat his ass for not being fashionably unironic enough.” They burst into snickers. Uh-oh. Open my eReader to Echo. Magic flash. A leather-clad Jessica Rabbit whispers sultrily into my ear, “Take the leader. I’ve got the rest.” I see her launch a whirlwind of throat jabs, plexus shots, and spinning elbows. She’s finishing the last of ’em by wrapping her shin around some dude’s face with a muay thai roundhouse…just as I’m strangling the hipster leader with his pansy-ass scarf. He’s kneeling before me, turning purple, when she yanks my head back and plants The Kiss to End All Kisses on my lips. Destroy your enemies and meet your childhood crush in the same day—how do you beat that? 😀
