Monday, August 31st, 2009

With the acqui­si­tion of Mar­vel Comics, Dis­ney has announ­ced a few chan­ges to the Main Mar­vel cha­rac­ters. Of course, this is still pre­li­mi­nary, but here’s a taste.

- Iron­man will appear in the next Jonas Brother’s movie.
– The Xmen will now inc­lude a clumsy rab­bit that can’t tell a lie.
– Wol­ve­rine will be pla­yed by a Gol­den Retrie­ver.
– Spi­der­man will blow kis­ses to fly from one place to another.
– The next Inc­re­di­ble Hulk Movie will have the Hulk duet with Elton John called “Green is not so Mean”.

For Roman Catho­lics, January 5th is St Simeon Sty­li­tes’ Day. He was a fifth-century her­mit who sho­wed his devo­tion to God by spen­ding lite­rally years sit­ting on top of a huge flag­pole. This was years before such a thing would land you as a star on YouTube.

Driver’s Ed Dad

Mark, who is now in High School, has star­ted dri­ving. I’m not sure what sca­res me more. The fact that he’s dri­ving or that I can be in a state other than pure para­noia while he’s dri­ving.
We’ve spent quite a bit of time on the inters­tate bet­ween Bis­marck and Man­dan going bak and forth bet­ween the exits. I sho­wed him how to pro­perly “drag main”, mad him park using me as the orange pylon not to hit. I even had him drive around a com­pli­ca­ted par­king lot….in reverse. I think the next item to con­quer is speed para­llel par­king. When he finally gets his license next year, I think he should be well prepared.

The new TV sea­son is coming up which means the 180th sea­son of my favo­rite show, “Sur­vi­vor”.
Soon enough, Sur­vi­vor will run out of tro­pi­cal des­ti­na­tions and be for­ced to announce sea­sons fea­tu­ring the less-than-tropical:
– Sur­vi­vor Lara­mie, WY
– Sur­vi­vor Somali Pirate Ship
– Sur­vi­vor Holly­wood Big Stu­dio Back Lot (also known as Big Brother)
– Sur­vi­vor Stur­gis
– Sur­vi­vor Refri­ge­ra­tor Box in the Alley behind the Big Boy
– Sur­vi­vor Work From Home
