Superheroes are among us all. They are the same people you went to high school with.

Rolling Stone recently did an article which chronicled the lives of several real life superheroes.

Although Master Legend was one of the first to call himself a Real Life Superhero, in recent years a growing network of similarly homespun caped crusaders has emerged across the country. Most Real Life Superheroes are listed on the World Superhero Registry, a recently assembled online roster.

The Justice Force is Master Legend's own crime-fighting syndicate, a rotating cast of ad hoc superheroes that seems to include everyone he knows. There's the Disabler, Genius Jim, the Black Panther and a duo named Fire and Brimstone. The Ace lives with Master Legend at the team's secret hide-out, a dilapidated clapboard house in a seedy neighborhood outside Orlando.

"This whole movement is more than just fat guys in spandex," insists Superhero, himself a brawny guy in head-to-toe spandex.

A quality read to be sure.

Joaquin Phoenix can save you money when you book with Travelocity.

Roaming gnome...I know that look. That look says, "Stay the hell away from my cardboard box and shopping cart." With his recent retirement from acting, let us hope someone is taking care of his finances. Someone, that is, unlike Dane Cook's brother.

Christmas is gone, but happy new year! With a bonus.

Palin's daughter gives birth. Names son Tripp.

No shit.

"Bristol" named him

Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston.

Sadly, Tripp is going to have to be a grandpa before the illustrious III can be added.

Boy scout earns all 121 badges. Talking to persons of the opposite sex sadly not one of them.

Long Island, NY
A Long Island teenager has earned all 121 merit badges offered by the Boy Scouts of America. It's an accomplishment the local arm of the organization calls "an almost unheard-of feat." Oceanside resident Shawn Goldsmith earned his final badge — for bugling — in time for his 18th birthday in November. He far surpassed the 21 badges required to achieve the elite rank of Eagle Scout.
He said he took about five years to earn his first 62 badges and then nearly doubled that number in a matter of months. He did it with the encouragement of his grandmother, who died shortly before he reached his goal.
There are times I look back on college and high school and have a pure Uncle Rico moment. If only I could go back. My torture is nothing in comparison to what this kid does to himself later in life or next year.

Tattoo Toosday - 12/30

From our Inmate collection - Juan is sporting a darling font with whimsical lettering and a message that screams: "I was abused as a child and had no real father figure besides the street vatos who sodimized me for chuckles with junk they found behind the quickie mart."

Man robs bank with his pay stub, fails to see the irony or problem. Also fails to get away with it.

Chicago
The robber's threatening note made a Chicago bank job easy to solve: The FBI says the suspect wrote it on his pay stub. An FBI affidavit said the man walked into a Fifth Third Bank on Friday and handed a teller a note that read "Be Quick Be Quit (sic). Give your cash or I'll shoot."
The robber got about $400 but left half of his note. Investigators found the other half outside the bank's front doors. Authorities say that part of the man's October pay stub had his name and address.

The suspect was arrested at his Cary home. A judge ordered him held without bond Monday. If convicted of bank robbery, he faces 20 years in prison.



If convicted? Anyone else puzzled how this criminal mastermind could have written out such a terrible note? There is one way to do a bank job and make people proud of your bank-robbing prowess. Go Eazy or go home:

This is a stick-up, everybody get face-down
Ren, gag their mouths so they can't make a sound
Tie em up for the fact that I'm kickin ass
I got my hand on my gat, and I'm tempted to blast
My name is Eazy, but I go the hard way out
This ain't personal, but now I'm about
to commit a crime and go thru with it
You know what, no need for shakin, because I'm used to it
Take out the security guard with a slap of my hand
Yeah, he's wearin' a badge, but he's a ol ass man
Pump his ass in the head, and take his gun so me and the punk can go one on one
Cover the lens on the TV screen
you know, so me and my gang just can't be seen.


This is how you do it folks. Admittedly, it does help if you have an MC Ren.

Lincoln was shot in Ford's Theater and JFK was shot in a Lincoln made by Ford (or was) GASP!!!!!!!

Philly (shocking)

Merry xmas from the city that hates you and Santa.

A South Philadelphia man enraged because a father and son were talking during a Christmas showing of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button took care of the situation when he pulled a .380-caliber gun and shot the father, police said.


After exchanging words, Vanore said Cialella allegedly got out of his seat to confront the family when the father got up to protect them. That's when the victim was shot once in the left arm, sending others in the theatre running to safety.
Cialella then sat down to watch the movie. Police arrived a short time later and arrested Cialella and confiscated his weapon, Vanore said.




Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin fled to a warehouse. JFK was shot from a warehouse and his assassin fled to a theater. James Joseph Cialella Jr, shot his victim in a theater and then sat down to enjoy the rest of the show.

There is so much going on.

The people have spoken. Years have not tarnished the good judgment of some.

For my money, I think I would have preferred Mean Gene Okerlund in Minnesota and maybe anybody in California. To The Body's credit, he didn't seek a second term.

Minnesota apparently thought that The Body was fine for Governor but that Al Franken wasn't fit for the Senate.
