My sister-in-law said that she found a roller derby, much like this one in Glendale. She found an advertisement on a car window. Any thoughts?

Here’s the article that I was talking about earlier.

Orlando Bans Feeding Homeless Downtown

ORLANDO, Fla. — City officials have banned charitable groups from feeding homeless people in parks downtown, arguing that transients who gather for weekly meals create safety and sanitary problems for businesses.

The measure, approved Monday, prevents serving large groups in parks and other public property within two miles of City Hall without a permit. The American Civil Liberties Union vowed to sue, saying it’s a superficial fix that ignores the city’s homeless problem.

City commissioner Patty Sheehan pushed for the ordinance after complaints from business owners and residents that homeless people were causing problems at a downtown park popular with joggers and dog walkers.

A group called Food Not Bombs, which has served weekly vegetarian meals to homeless people for more than a year there, said it would continue illegally.

Robin Stotter, who is opening a restaurant downtown, said he would support homeless people by pledging money for food and shelter, but supported the ordinance.

“The homeless issue is not going to be solved today,” he said. “It’s a safety issue, and the public deserves a safe place to be.”

Two of the city’s five commissioners voted against the ordinance _ including Robert Stuart, the head of a homeless shelter.

Stuart said the city was moving to “criminalize goodhearted people.”

“We’re putting a Band-Aid on a critical problem,” said commissioner Sam Ings, the other opposing vote.

Pretty crazy. What would Major Victory say about this?

I whole-heartedly endorse this show.
People tried to do the normal reality show stuff and Stan Lee booted ‘em. I don’t want to say too much more, in case people TiVoed it (I had to watch it at my brother-in-law’s house because I lack cable). Sci-Fi Channel at 9pm on Thursdays (at least in AZ).

So, it’s a little bit more serious than TMNT or Fun with Dick and Jane. (We paused the movie because my daughter woke up. I’m likin’ the movie.)

With Lebanon, if you’re looking (and not just my friends in Mantua and Denver – and Austin, Texas, I found out) for a way to help, this might be the way to help.

I saw Pirates on Sunday. Just like Superman, I’ll give people time to go see it. The reason I rushed to see it was so that I could avoid people like me who tell the whole plot.

While waiting in line, I got interviewed by a marketing firm. Jim Keegan *wink wink nudge nudge* helped me out. (Although the college boy wrote down ‘Tegan’.) I looked at a poster for Waist Deep. They asked me what I thought about it. I said that it had a naked man on the poster and that I wasn’t too keen on naked men. They asked me what I liked about the poster. I told them that I liked the font because it was blue. He asked if it was my favorite color and I said yes. Keep in mind that I was wearing a light blue shirt and dark blue shorts. He then proceeded to ask me 40 questions about my hobbies. He had promised that I could watch a trailer but it never happened. One of the options for hobbies, amid ‘Camping’ and ‘Attending art shows’, was ‘Drinking beer’. “You want to play a board game? No, let’s just drink beer.”
An unfair twist of fate for Pirates was that the trailers beforehand were for Night at the Museum and Transformers.
‘Museum’ looks incredibly funny.
Transformers stars Shia LaBeouf/Beowulf (sp) and Bernie Mac and is directed by Michael Bay. (I look for directors instead of actors. I’m pumped that it’s Michael Bay because he did The Rock and Armageddon and The Island and Bad Boyz and other movies where flying vehicles chase vehicles on the ground. Trust me: watch a Michael Bay movie and try and tell me there’s no air-to-land chase. It’s like a John Woo movie without two-fisted guns diving to the side.

Transformers also stars Tyrese Gibson, who I guess is in Waist Deep as well. The marketing guy asked me if I knew The Game. I guess it’s a hip-hop star in Waist Deep. I threw the question back at him. He said that he was familiar with The Game.

Figures.

Our most recent Star Wars adventure is online. Qoren is played by Cannon. You’ll understand.
