Picture it, in your minds.

The party rides into town, spear headed by Stephen Colbert riding Falcor far above, sounding their arrival like an Eagle from the heavens. Below, Bill Murray casually sits upon a full grown buffalo, smiling like the world is his oyster.

Behind him Bill Walton and Andre the Giant step leisurely, long strides eating up ground, easy grins upon their faces. Two giants, with personalities the only thing exceeding their own stature.

Behind them, a cowboy and a gladiator walk, seemingly indifferent to each other, but it is only upon further inspection do you realize it's indifference to the world, because that's the confidence they bring.

Once inside the town, a circus-like atmosphere grips the people, Bill Murray and Andre the giant hold court within the town, while Stephen Colbert and Bill Walton occupy the town square, orators like few have ever seen.

Raylan Givens and Jim Thorpe keep to themselves, but attract a different following. They do not seek out attention, but that is as much a draw to the right type of person as Colbert's bravado. Their talk is quiet, but poignant, their own confidence and Inner strength adding more to their words than any flowery prose and $5 words could ever impart.

Jack Kirby stays on the outside, quiet, observant, and always drawing. But when the party leaves town, and the spell is lifted, there are small, colorful leaflets left behind, detailing the visit, showing the message the apostles left behind in vivid panels of vibrant color and meaning.

What more would you want from apostles?

I threw a vote your way.  I would assume that to be an effective apostle, you need to reach people in a variety of ways.  Your team does that.

Just not as well as Jack Bauer / Kool Aid Man / Mark Twain / Walter Payton / Jesse Owens.

I forgive all of you who did not vote for me. I don't know if it was just plain jealousy that drove you, or fear of embracing something so great. You cannot hate the turtle for longing to fly, nor the mouse for fearing the fox. Embrace the one true team, my sons.

How on earth can you objectively determine who the best "substitute apostles" are, though?

This entire draft is *subjective*.  Some people hate Jack Bauer as an apostle; others see the humor in it.  It's like in past years, when folks debated Bill Russell vs. Zeus on the basketball court.  It's all absurd stuff, but fun to argue about.

I'm a bit disappointed that this thing lost some steam, but I thought it was a blast.  I think if more of the GMs had stuck it out and had pimped their teams a bit more, the voting would have been more diverse.

Prometheus created man and gave them fire.  



Objectively, that's pretty apostle-like. ;)
