News Update

Hey, everybody. I got the rest of the week off. I needed one more vacation before Peak Season. So for all my friends who are still at work, hang in there. I know my friend Rod will be cursing me behind my back for not being there. But it's cool. If the roles were reversed, I'd be doing the same thing.

Thanks for the CD again, Rod. It's excellent.

As for the super Hero Naming contest, I am going to extend it to the end of this week and then shut it down. So anybody else who wants to take a shot at naming some of the other characters, do it soon. The contest will be over shortly.

Thanks and take care.

The Justice Machine

In the future, when the superheroes are all long turned into dust, a new generation begins to arrise. The oppressive force that controled America is about to get a wake up call. These groups of young men and women band together to fight for justice and freedom. They utlitize their powers to defend the weak and helpless. However, without any records of what the superheroes wore in those days, they are forced to put just little bits of clothing here and there. Most of them have a bad fashion sense while others for some insane reason feel more comfortable without pants. They may be naive but they have the powers to back it up. Here comes . . .THE JUSTICE MACHINE!

Jesus, isn't that lame?

But hey, that's the funny part about it. The story line would be lame and stupid but funny. It's always amusing for a Superman hero to swoop in and defend the fascist soldiers, all the while he's got no pants!

Now comes the fun part. They need names.

I invite everybody to come up with names for these funny super heroes. The names can be good or stupid, it doesn't matter. And I am so interested in hearing what my friends have to say, I am willing to put up cash money for whoever comes up with the most names.

The Basis for these Creations

I was searching through Google for super hero clip art and found this. Generic super heroes indeed.

Def-Con

The Leader of the Justice Machine, this superhero is capable to producing a four megaton yeild but to safely protect the citizens of the City, he can't. Therefore he must use his flight powers and super strength to stop the villains of the city.

PeakVolt

The second in comand of the Justice Machine, PeakVolt as a child was running through the woods from bullies, and stumbled into a puddle of some toxic waste dump. He scrambled to get out of it by grabbing a nearby fence, although he didn't know the fence was electrified. After surviving that incident, his body was changed to harness electricity.

Solemn

Half human, half Genie, Solemn is the wizard of the group, helping out with magical problems. The only thing they don't like about their friend is that he must adhere to his Genie heritage, doing everything in Threes. He can't start the day without three cups of coffee. He sometimes ask questions three times. It gets annoying after a while.

Grey Feather

Visted by a Native American Falcon Spirit as a teenager, this superhero was given the abilty to run on air. Over the year, he mastered it to run at super fast speeds .

Condor Man

He was bitten by a radioactive condor. Nuff said.

Teaser

This super heroine with flash some of her female assets to supervillains and while they are staring at her slackjawed, he attacks them with the blue energy she can produce. She enjoys the fact that evil-doers can be so predictable.

Cotton Gin

This villain is a thorn in the side of the Justice Machine. Once a evil scientist, Def-Con took him apart with a nuclear blast, leaving only his brain intact. The scientist's minions took his brain and placed it in a body of a robot of their creation. What the scientist didn't know was that the robot was built from spare parts of a textile making robot and a bar-tender robot. As a result of this strange mix, he was able to manipulate cotton and fabrics with the ability to spew alcohol from his mouth. He would now be called . . . .COTTON GIN!

Lasso

This man was once a reporter, who's speciality was exposing hate mongers. One unforunate day, one group found him and brought him outside his house to be hanged. As they strung him up, he began to joke but then the limp that held his robe was struck by lighting. The power pulsated though him and within seconds, the robe came undone. After he woke up, he felt a robe in his hand and all the hate mongers were dead before him. He held the robe in his hand watching it move like a snake. When he let it go, it didn't move at all. He realized he had the ability to control robe with his mind.

The Mangler

A flying superhero who was once a former mechanic. Now he uses his magnetisim powers to effect metal and machiens, making them twist up and become mangled together.

Hybrid

This alien warrior was taken from Earth and raised on a different world. After his captives realased him as a adult, he came back to earth to fight crime alone with the Justice Machine.

New York Kitties

My friend sent this postcard to me and I scanned it for all my cat loving friends out there.

The Death Ride Classic

Found this at an artshow. One of the best interpretations of a grim reaper I had seen in a long time.

Goes to show you what a freak i can be. This was the LAST Surge to be sold in Lawrenceville. I held onto it for a long time but then I realized how stupid I was being. I decided to scan it anyway. 

Not'cha File

I had to call one of the senior reps cause the customer wanted to know if the program could create a NACHA file. I know it can create CSV files but I wasn't entirely sure of the other kind.

I called into the senior rep. "Hey, Can the program create a Nacha file?"

"A what file?" the senior rep asked.

"A NACHA file." I repeated.

"Well, if it ain't my file, who's is it?"

"What?" I asked.

"Yeah. You said it's Not'cha file."

I proceed to burst out into laughter, realizing the joke he made. He was making the Not'cha be a slur of Not Yours. Then he told me he wasn't joking. He never heard of the file. "I take it that is a NO then." I chuckle.

"No. The Program doesn't create a Not'cha file. "

"Thanks, man." I tell him.

Error Code

A common error in one of the products I support is the line below. It reads EXACTLY as you read it.

rt32w caused a general protection fault in module (unknown)

Our customers have decided to interpret the line usually with creative words of their own. I mixed all of the suggestions together and found the follow sentence.

Route 32 west caused a generalized prohibited faultline in the module of the Unknown


If it wasn't for our customers, our job MIGHT be boring. :)

What a day

It's days like today I think I about jobs other than Tech Support.

Jobs that are less stressful. . .like being a Hot dog vendor . .in Iraq.

Justice Society of America

This picture is done by Alex Ross. He's by far my favorite painter

The All Seeing Eye

Stratosphere

My Snowflake

I found a website that allows you to design your own snowflakes. Is nothing done by hand anymore?

The King Has Returned

Independent Elvis-Zine was looking for drawings about Elvis. I submitted this one about Elvis during the middle ages and they published it on the back cover.

Han Solo and Miss Piggy

Miss Piggy = "are you ready to make out with moi?"

Harrison = "Uh, George? I am pretty sure this isn't in my contract."

Red Squadron

All wings report in.
