Now I feel much safer walking the streets of our major (and minor) cities now that I know there are costumed vigilantes looking out for us. After hearing about the website on the Ed Norris Show this morning, I decided to check out the World Superhero Registry.
Who’s your favorite?
Mine has to be Tothian (as seen in the picture to the right). After all, he lists Osama bin Laden as one of his arch enemies. In fact, he’s the only one of the “active” superheroes listed in the registry with the guts enough to pick an arch enemy. Hopefully the President is aware of Tothian’s abilities so we can finally capture OBL.
I was quite surprised Friday to see myself featured prominently on a nationally-televised documentary airing at prime time on Halloween night. I think you will be equally surprised to learn the show was titled “666: Searching For Satan” and featured me as a “local journalist” doggedly pursuing the history and reality of Maryland’s very own monster – The Goatman.
For those who haven’t heard the story yet, I offer a brief retelling. In the course of helping my friend Matt Lake finish his book Weird Maryland, he received a call from a British production company that was interested in filming in the United States for a special on the existence of Satan, which was to air in the UK on June 6, 2006 – 666, you know, the number associated with the Devil?
While other segments featured Parisian cannibals, psychic entities and famous American serial killers, our portion would feature some local folklore not ...Continue Reading
Since the political realm is really heating up, I thought this week we should try a political picture for Cut This. Just to clarify, this is a picture of George W. Bush and John McCain. And….. GO!
Since last week’s Cut This with the cat wearing the fruit helmet was so popular, I decided to follow it up with a Wasting Time featuring a cat. Check out the video and find the answer to the age old question: who would win in a fight, a cat or a printer?
Cute cat, and ruthless printer. I have days where I want to fight my printer. This cat has the right idea.
Walking will become the official state exercise today, thanks to legislation from Maryland. Del. William A. Bronrott of Montgomery County. This bill was obviously a reaction to one that goes into effect today that named Smith Island Cake the official state desert. Well, at least we all walk a little each day, so we are no longer fibbing when we tell out doctors at yearly checkups that, according to the state at least, we do exercise daily.
Here are a few other laws that go into effect today:
- A Truth in Music Advertising Law. Basically, bands can’t use the same name and perform the same songs as other bands, or be fined up to $15,000.
- The day after thanksgiving is now “American Indian Heritage Day”, and is now a holiday for state employees. And what better way to honor American Indians than by spending all ...Continue Reading
I know you’ve all thought to yourselves at one point or another, “who would win in a fight: Geraldo Rivera or a hurricane?” Since Geraldo has a long history of thinking he’s a tough guy when it comes to hurricanes and other severe weather, it’s no surprise he attempted to go toe-to-toe with Hurricane Ike. So, for this edition of Wasting Time we produce the evidence showing ultimately who wins.
There you have it, even though Geraldo sports a pretty tough mustache, he’s no match for the weakest wave from a strong hurricane. Tune in next year when Geraldo looks to redeem himself by taking on an earthquake, live from the fault line.
