#6266 Current vibe, The Spectre, Wynonna, Book and record sets, and so on.

Not feeling my best today, probably because of a lack of sleep... Playing around with assorted code to pass the time. Before that I wrote a little bit, did some research, dabbled in my current popcorn book, and fooled a bit with my web page, played with the Newtster, and did just about everything but go outside or take a nap. I looked on kazaa for last nights Justice League, but no luck yet. It'll be out there within a week... I've already picked up the eclipso episode and a few others that had fallen through the cracks.

Just finished a case of a missing disabled woman... some parts of Ohio are just amazingly spread out. I dropped a blanket about five miles in width and height over her region, and only about 300 names popped up. She was on a bicycle, and missing since 9am, so I may have to do some "followup chasing" if I get any trail information on her. It's frightening.. getting cold out there, and the woman's in her thirties, but mentally still a youngster. With the region spread out like that, chances of witnesses are going to be difficult, but hopefully someone noticed something.

Here's a reason to be glad if you're a villain and just got beaten up by Batman or Spidey. It could be worse.... a whole lot worse.At least you didn't come up against the Spectre, who's a great deal less forgiving than the most frightening vigilante. (Doesn't waste any time, either... I hope the butler was guilty of murder or something, rather than badly arranging the little soaps in the guest bathroom.)

Radio Heroes... classic comic book and record sets. I had this Superman and the Deadly Rains as a kid, and yes, I thought it was horribly bad even as a six year old. The commentary goes from very funny to really lame, but the biggest draw for me is just seeing all of these things again. Very Nostalgic.

Wynonna Judd Mug shot.

Eyewitness Quiz, D'oh, I got one wrong.

Good commentary heard recently - "Robert, you are so wrong, philosophers weep at the sound of your voice." (via comic_getfuzzy)

The Spectre looks as though he's wearing a truss. I remember, as a child, reading the ads in the back pages of Railroad Magazine, which my dad used to buy, and seeing ads for trusses and not quite understanding what they were for. I just googled for "hernia truss" and, while I found no images of ads of the sort I remember, I did find this marvelous parody site. The drawings are just like those I recall, and might have been scanned from one of those ads.
