This week is a historical unholy week for home grown nut jobs

 
 
 
 
This morning America experienced yet another sucker punch. The cowardly attack on innocent lives at the Boston Marathon comes in a week that is historically wrought with home grown problems.
 
 
April 20, 1999 Columbine High School Shootings
April 19, 1993 end of the Waco siege
April 19, 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing
 
Let's keep this situation in prayer. Prayer for the victims asnd their families and prayer for our country.

Saturday Night Link Dump

What a boring Saturday night. We had a good visit with Nautallica when he was in Cbus for a convention and had a good time at the Winking Lizard. Anyway here are some random links.

Looks like the very troubled network NBC might be running a super hero show this fall called The Cape.

Iron Man 2 comes out May 7 and looks pretty good in previews. Check it out here.

Get your game on each Wednesday with D&D Encounters, an ongoing mini-campaign where you’ll play one encounter each week at your local game store. Earn exclusive rewards as you gain Renown Points for accomplishments made during each season! Check it out here.

Baseball will soon be with us. The Reds pitchers and catchers report on 2/17 and The Tribe gets it going on 2/22. Both teams will be using the Goodyear Ballpark in Arizona. Maybe an Adventurers trip to Spring Training is in the future???

It would be fun to get a nice group for Gencon this year. If you are planning on going you can get your ticket early and save some $$. I might do the MegaBus thing again. Hard to beat it for $1 each direction.

Feb 2 is Signing Day for NCAA football. Ohio State has an interesting class lined up and it get to outstanding if a couple of the last minutes studs come on board. I'll post more on Tuesday but you can read about the class here and here. For anyone interested the OSU Spring Game will be April 24

Speaking of OSU former round baller Greg Oden is probably rethinking that cell phone camera thing right now. Popcrunch has the photos.

Would this happen in Cleveland?


New York Giants fan Sondra Fortunato, aka Miss Football, was booted out of the New York Giants game last week for her provocative clothing. Ms. Fortunato’s sartorial ensemble consisted of a Santa outfit, fishnet stockings, a bathing suit bottom and high-heeled boots. And not to forget her rhinestone tiara.

According to the New York Post, the well-endowed Fortunato insisted that nothing was showing. Said Fortunato:

“You couldn’t even see my underwear I don’t flash.”

In addition to her skimpy outfit, Fortunato, who has been attending Giants games for over 30 years and has become the unofficial mascot of her favorite NFL team, was cited for carrying a suitcase full of Christmas presents and a couple of pro-Giants signs. One read, “Go Giants,” and the other had “Have a No Guns Christmas” emblazoned on it (this a reference to the Plaxico Burress shooting incident).

”I love the Giants! I’m a flamboyant dresser and I’m well-endowed,” Fortunato said. Look, I’m a middle-aged woman, I really don’t like to give my age - say I’m middle-aged. But Madonna goes out and she’s got everything hanging out, and she’s middle-aged!

But officials at Giant Stadium, apparently, were not big fans of her ‘giant’ assets. Fortunato was escorted out of the stadium, saying signs and baggage weren’t allowed and telling her to cover up because there were children present.

Fortunato added: “I guess some ladies got jealous and complained.”

The Giants maintain that Sondra was ejected because she violated rules against signs and baggage - although no one confiscated her bag on the way into the stadium. A team spokesman refused to comment on Sondra’s eye-popping mode of dress.
