Kick him in the *alls, Beastgirl!

These guys need to be reminded that they're still punks and, as long as we're around (like Eddie G. Robinson told Steve McQueen), they'll always be second best.

Holding our note isn't the same as holding our leash. They aren't tall enough or wide enough to do that.
