Not sure who is up on the facebook'in
but Jesse and Lale had a child on Thanksgiving weekend
Parker Voltron Gerald Minielly.

On facebook - find Lale Minielly - I'll put up some photos when I fix my camera.

I like the Voltron part. Parker is an obvious reference to Mr. Mugniely's favourite comic book character, Mr. Peter Parker, the Spiderman.

Yup, that's here in Seoul. I recognized the Hanam bridge, and can clearly identify those apartments as being Korean. Which ones, no idea, there are thousands of those buildings lined up like dominoes, patiently waiting for their thirty seconds of love from Godzilla.

was that you and Kim riding those mowers?

STV · Posted: Mon Jan 05, 2009 4:12 pm Post subject:

that's funny, I read the article posted by adam about Master Legend yesterday, then last night I was reading a book called "who will save us now?" a collection of short stories about super heroes. one of the stories I read last night was called "my interview with the avenger" about a guy who runs around in a ski mask fighting crime. the story mentioned Captain Jackson, who was also mentioned in the article about Master Legend and several other "heroes" listed on the World Super Hero Registry.

http://www.worldsuperheroregistry.com/world_superhero_registry_gallery.htm

The Master Legend interview was really great, sad but great. his life would make a great movie, although I'm sure that hollywood would insist on making it a comedy, probably starring Will Farrell.

I almost hate to say this, but there was a lot to identify with the master legend story. The frustration, the anger, the seething cauldron of boiling emotions just under the surface, that unspoken need to just start doing things about it, instead of thinking.

That giddy joy of throwing caution to the wind, taking a social bull by the horns, and beating the snot out of it in an alley, all the while being cheered on by the cops.

It made me pause, and wonder how many people in North America also identify, and to what extent. There's a social network or superheroes now on the internet? Trading secrets of homemade weaponry???

you may or may not find a user on the PPoC site by that goes by the handle "S. Byers"...i haven't visited the site in a couple weeks now, but they seem to be a bit disorganized for the moment (or were).

i think that these niche parties have little hope of accomplishing anything in the political realm, but are usually set up to be a PR vehicle (see: Green Party of Canada).

it would help if a Canadian were to get shaken down for piracy like the MPAA or RIAA does to the poor citizens of the US from time-to-time.

he got the idea from this guy: http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Twittering-Office-Chair/ who set up his office chair to tweet his farts.

which led me to the main page of instructables: http://www.instructables.com/ which seems to have some pretty impressive stuff.......
