Help! That man stole my purse! Have no fear! Irony man is here! Oh God. Are you going to do the opposite of what I want? No! I was disguised. I'm actually anti-climax man! So... Nothing will happen now? No! This is a disguise! I'm actually sudden change, man! Nothing happened. Of course not! For I am really... Batman! Then help. I can't. I'm not Batman. I'm distraction man!

Wasn’t there a Harlan Ellison short story about an actor that took on the faces of his roles but actually had no face of his own, reduced at the end of the story to a madman shouting over and over, “Give me light!”? I used to be able to remember these things.

Makes me think of the video (I’ve long since lost the link) where the punks grab the purse of the old women with a walker. She yells after them, so they turn around and taunt her. Then she pulls out her radio control and detonates the purse..Maybe even better, because it’s real life: A woman I used to work with lived in a Brooklyn slum, and on her way home one night she was accosted by some punks with knives who demanded her money. When she reached into her purse and pulled out a loaded handgun, they complained that she wasn’t playing fair.
