I tugged on Superman's cape.
I spit in the wind.
I pulled the mask off the old lone ranger.
I ran around with Jim.

are you sure you didn't MESS around with Jim? Because that would make more sense, given the context.

I don't think she wants to give us that impression.

What? the impression that she knows the lyrics to the song she alludes to?

I think Gemm is alluding to a different connotation associated with the words "mess around."

I just want to point out that "run around" can have the same connotation as "mess around." Jus' sayin'

This is true, and I saw that right off, but I was grabbing for straws.

Archon--I'd proffer my arm in penance, but you ate that last week.

SE--"Ran around" and "mess around" do indeed mean pretty much the same thing.  But I stand corrected.
