New logo! Ain’t it keen?

Jon took from Chew and now it’s here:

1. When I sing, I sound like a man trying to sing with varied results.
2. April is my favorite month of the year.
3. I’ve always wanted to improve my debating skills.
4. It’s Monday morning, and the first thing that goes through my mind is snooze button.
5. My favorite day of the week is Saturday because I have a classroom class for the first time in five years and I’m actually looking forward to it. We’ll see how I feel in a couple weeks.
6. I used to/currently collect comic books and other assorted goods of the dork nature.
7. At the end of a work day/school day, the first thing I want to do is go home. Quickly.
8. I really look forward to BWB Saturday because it’s my favorite holiday.
9. When I need some down-time, I usually write or strum on my strummer.
10. I plan to travel to Europe or the Left Coast someday.

I’m thinking of doing another “100 things about J~” kinda post. Just need time to think of neat new things about me and to do it. Yes, I’m that hard up for content. And bored.

Passenger’s Bomb Threat Diverts Plane To Dulles

An American Airlines commuter flight scheduled to land at Reagan National Airport yesterday was diverted to Washington Dulles International Airport after a passenger handed a flight attendant a threatening note in which he demanded to be flown to Australia, officials said.

American Eagle Flight 4959, which left LaGuardia Airport in New York at 11 a.m., landed about an hour later at Dulles without incident, officials said. The passenger, described only as male, was taken into custody by FBI officials. The remaining 19 passengers and three crew members were evacuated immediately from the small commuter plane, they said.

Nico Melendez, a spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration, said the passenger indicated in the note that a bomb was on the plane. After the plane landed and was taken to a secure spot on the tarmac, a search was conducted, and no bomb was found, he said.

Do what? Yes, a commute flight will get you all the way to Australia, all you have to do is ask. Christ almightly, of all of the planes to try and threaten to hijack. Let’s go for the shortest flight, shall we? Yeah! And something small that doesn’t carry a lot of fuel either! Oh, oh, and it’s gotta have propellers! (NOTE: I don’t think this plane had propellers. I’m joking.) And make sure it doesn’t have a john so everyone has to suffer! MWA HA HA HA HA!!!!

Holy Crap!

Now, I don’t have much respect for indymedia.org stuff because, well, it’s a breeding ground for nutcases. In theory it’s a good thing, having an independent, grassroots media engine of sorts, but these things are created specifically for the people who propagate them, nut’s who think everything about the government is evil.

So I guess I shouldn’t be completely surprized when I see an article called “Don’t kill bush for me, do it for Jesus” at the site AND that’s it’s under “News: Anti-War/War/Peace” (how peaceful, threatening murder and all) AND that indymedia has no qualms with this article being up. I’m sure it’s not the only instance of a death threat towards the President (or any number of other folks). Christ almightly, this is nuts.

it’s a done deal. The Joe Gibbs Era returns.

The Return of Coach Gibbs? The Washington Post is reporting that the Redskins are in serious discussions with former coach Joe Gibbs.

Joe Gibbs, the Hall of Fame coach who led the Washington Redskins to three Super Bowl titles in the 1980s and early ’90s, is in serious discussions with the team about returning to be its head coach, sources with connections to Gibbs through his auto-racing interests and other ventures said last night.

Gibbs, 63, has told associates in NASCAR that he is contemplating a return to football as the Redskins’ coach, sources said.

Gibbs could not be reached for comment last night, and the chances of him accepting the head coaching job were unknown. It also could not be determined whether he would be willing to consider working for the team in another capacity.

The Redskins have been looking for a coach since Steve Spurrier resigned eight days ago. Owner Daniel Snyder and vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato are known to have conducted face-to-face interviews with three candidates — former New York Giants coach Jim Fassel, former Minnesota Vikings coach Dennis Green and Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Ray Rhodes.

Rhodes interviewed with Snyder and Cerrato in the D.C. area yesterday. But a source close to Fassel said last night that he did not believe Fassel would be hired by the Redskins because the club was planning a major surprise. He added that he believed Gibbs’s return would be the surprise.

Gibbs coached the Redskins between 1981 and ‘92 and led them to Super Bowl victories following the 1982, ‘87 and ‘91 seasons. Gibbs’s Redskins also reached the Super Bowl following the 1983 season but lost.

Another off season surprize, but will it turn into wins?

My cousin/roommate Jon has taken pictures of our new place. The more I stay there the more I like it. Slowly but surely getting unpacked….

Britney gets hitched?

Thanks to wilsego.com/racc for not only listing Bush43 from rec.arts.comics.creative but also giving it a cover!

Over at Wilsego.com is a site that Wil made for rec.alt.comics.creative, the original comic fiction newsgroup. It’s a newsgroup where Artifice Comics posts a lot of issues and the guy has all of our recent releases listed as well as covers. Which is sweet because, well, we didn’t do the covers, so this guy is taking it upon himself to do all this work. Wow. Gotta mail this guy some props.

The Library of Congress has set up an online exhibition of artwork from the late Al Herschfeld.
