This will not be a regular feature, but, hey... It's Tuesday and I needed a title.
Either Jim or Randy sent this in. I forget. But it's... It's... It's abso-ludicrous. And it reminds me so much of my own high school experience.
Nathan demonstrates that he knows me all too well with this clip. Old Timey Star Wars.
And Jamie found Office Space Superfriends. It's sort of PG-13, but nothing you haven't seen on Superfriends or Office Space.

two things
Congrats to Univ. of Florida. They played an absolutely great game, dominating OSU for the vast majority of the game.
Also, about a week ago Jamie and I were driving past an empty shell of one of the Albertson's grocery stores that had pulled out of Austin. "We should open something in that," Jamie said.
"Okay."
"What could we do with superheroes?"
"Well," I said looking at the decaying grocery. "I have no idea. It's about 20 times larger than a comic shop."
"We could do, like, a superhero place," Jamie said. "Like, we could throw superhero birthday parties and have a super hero restaurant, and sell superhero stuff. Like capes and shields and other superhero gadgets."
"Wow. Well, that sounds pretty good for kids, but..." the idea of running something that complicated sounded like a bit of a nightmare.
But maybe these guys in Brooklyn have done it right. Maxwell, I'm dispatching you to check it out.
Thanks to RHPT for the link.

Nothing to Report
It would be shameful for me to let a Monday pass without much in the way of blogging, I suppose.
Today your League is tired. League HQ pal Heather Wagner is on winter break from the grad program which she is currently enrolled in, and has come back to Austin to touch base with family and friends. Last night Wagner stayed in the guest quarters here at League HQ, and we had a lovely dinner followed by a firepit in the backyard.
Long story short, by the time Jamie and Heather had both retired, it was 1:45 AM, and The League was due to post DC Weekly Reviews at Comic Fodder. Sure, I managed my usual genius, but it was 3:55 AM when at last I crawled into bed. I was up again at 9:15, ran for a good distance this afternoon (I'm starting to love the hills) and am now coming down from whatever energy boost I previously enjoyed.
Normally, I caffeinate until I'm shaking like a chihuahua on a chilly day, but today I am low-key and droopy.
Plus, when I woke up, I thought maybe Pat Robertson's vision of mass deaths in 2007 may have come to fruition.
Yes, the mysterious "gas" fumes in NYC left me a little twitchy, but when the NEXT story on Headline News features dozens of dead birds near the state capitol, we start seeing boogeymen all sorts of places.
So I'm running about town and lovin' a ricin free life.
I still think Gov. Perry snuck out of the Governor's Mansion and poisoned those birds because they pooped on his Geo Metro.

they start so young...
The League is sad to report young Arden has been seen running with a tough gang of kids lately and may have fallen in with the wrong crowd.
flashing gang signals, Arden sticks it to the man
More details as events warrant

Spiders on drugs
Mayhaps due to recently seeing "Charlotte's Web", Jamie has recently been a bit fascinated by spiders and their webs.
Apparently, some time ago, scientists from England got some spiders doped up and decided to let them spin their webs. Check it out.
The results in the photos are fascinating. I'm sure someone with more brainpower than me would have something more enlightened to say about all this.
Wanting to see more trippy "spiders on drugs" photos, Jamie did some googling and even found something on YouTube. For some weird science stuff, check this out.

Thanks, JimD!
Special thanks to JimD for his assist and for forwarding a link to my Comic Fodder story to The Beat. Much to my surprise, Heidi posted a link to my first CF post.
Jim is wise in the ways of blogging.

ComicFodder: First Post
Can you tell I'm nervous?
here's a link to my first post for ComicFodder
Ah, nothing like a dry, whiny tirade to get the audience rolling in.
