Booyor’s BLOGgh!

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 is a reminder of the link to photos. Maybe I should put a permalink in.. Check the side.

Here’s a link to a site about one of my Sunday School students from this summer.

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

I’ve reprinted it here:

Orlando Bans Feeding Homeless Downtown
The Associated Press

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.

Yeah, dude! Check out the official site. You’ve gotta tell me which hero you like best.

I’m voting (technically, I’m not, but hey) for

1. Major Victory (watch the premiere with him hoisting the lost girl and doing a gun-finger to a guy on a walkman - and tell me that’s not cool)
2. Feedback (For authentic geek quotient)
3. Cell-phone Girl (Her powers are actually cool)

I wouldn’t mind Ty’veculus winning. He seems like an honest gladiator.

For my non-geek friends, it is a reality show (you like unscripted shows, right? That’s the viewing trend, right?) hosted by Stan Lee (creator of X-Men, Spider-man, The Hulk, Fantastic Four, and many more). The winner gets a comic where their character is the hero. They also get…how cool is this?… a Sci-Fi Channel 2-hour original movie!

That’s right, bub. These friendly, neighborhood geeks have their own secret lair and are given missions on little communicators (see also Charlie’s Angels).

I’m also curious to see what people would look like as superheroes. Check out the hero creator here.

Here’s some video, like their auditions.

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).

Post your comments! Who will win? Who will capitulate?

In case you’re wondering about the latest delusion, it’s in reference to my new site meter toy. It tells me the cities that people are logging in from.

Here’s my official shout-out to Cedar Rapids, Iowa! What?

I really just set it up because I wanted to see just how many times Peter and Devin read the site. But then these images come along:

It makes me feel like this:

Remember, Copenhagians, you can find my new pictures here. One of these days I’ll put up some video from camping.
Mainly it’s of fire.

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.
