KNOXVILLE NEWS SENTINEL, Knoxville, TN, January 23, 2009, obituary
BROGAN, FRANCES (FRANKIE) HABERSHAM FONDE age 86, died peacefully at her beloved TreeTops home in Townsend, Tennessee on Sunday, January 18, 2009, after 6 weeks as a Blount Memorial Hospice patient. Her daughters, Rebecca (Becki) Bishop of Brighton, Michigan, Katherine Enyart of Austin, Texas, and daughter-of-the-heart, Carol Murray of New York, were at her side at the time of her death. Her son, Robert (Bob) T. Brogan, Jr. of Houston, Texas was enroute but his voice was present, singing a favorite family song, as she breathed her last.
Frankie's zest for life, and indomitable optimism never faded, nor did her natural beauty. Frankie was born in Knoxville on December 17, 1922, the first of five children born to Rhea King and Charles Henry Fonde. She grew up in the Morningside neighborhood east of downtown Knoxville, where she made life long friends, Caroline (Clemens) Harris, Marty (Whaley) Russell, Ruth (Collins) Pierce, Irene (Edmonds) Sniegocki, Joan (Moore) Hancock, and Betty (Fowler) Doublestein. These "Morningside Girls" have loved and supported each other through all of life's challenges for more than eighty years. After graduating from Knoxville High School in 1940, she attended the University of Tennessee where she was a member of Chi Omega, was named Miss University of Tennessee, and Sweetheart of Sigma Chi. She was also a fine student and was honored by a placement at the Merrill-Palmer Institute for Child and Family Development in Detroit, Michigan.
Her beauty and vibrant personality attracted many admirers, but her heart was captured by a young pilot, Robert Thomas (Tom) Brogan. They were married in the chapel of St. John's Episcopal Church, now the Cathedral, on January 8, 1944. Their romance continued through 64 years of marriage. Over the years, Frankie and Tom had four children, Becki, Bob, Sue, and Katherine, and lived in New York, Michigan, and Texas before returning to her home state of Tennessee and retirement close to her beloved Smoky Mountains. As she had done throughout her life, Frankie entered fully into the life of the community, contributing her many talents, and indefatigable energy to many causes, including the Friends of Mary E. Tippet Memorial Library, and the Guild of the Smoky Mountain Heritage Center. Frankie was a gifted writer, and often wrote humorous or tender poems to mark special family occasions. She was also a woman of deep faith, and in 1982 a book describing her spiritual journey, The Snare of the Fowler, was published by Chosen Books. Her creativity took many forms, and she loved to give gifts that were "Frankie Made". Above all Frankie was a people person. She was the world's most extroverted extrovert! She was a good friend to people of all ages and walks of life, and was loved by all who knew her. She drew people to her because she radiated love, acceptance and a sincere interest in each individual who came into her life. She particularly loved to gather her family together, and in 2001 organized a family reunion that brought all the Fonde/King clan together in joyous celebration at a lodge in Townsend, TN. Her devotion to family and friends inspired a return of devotion to her.
Upon learning of her death, a cousin wrote "I just can't get over how cheerful and strong and brave and kind and laughing and just totally loveable Frankie was!" Frankie lost her lifetime love and biggest fan, her husband of 64 years, Robert Thomas (Tom) Brogan, on May 24, 2008. She was also preceded in death by her daughter, Susan Fonde (Andy) Klemmt; her grandson, Marshall Thomas Klemmt; and her sister, Rhea Fonde (Robert) Nathan.
She is survived by her children, Becki (Max) Bishop, Bob (Pamela) Brogan, and Katherine (Mike) Enyart; sisters, Anne (Calvin) Walter of Knoxville and Alice (Garnett) Kincaid, of Clinton; and her brother, Henry Fonde of Ann Arbor, MI; nine granddaughters, Lisa Bishop (Phil) Davisson, Catherine Bishop, Faith Bishop, Christie Brogan, Julia Brogan (Josh) Giles, Nika Brogan, Genevieve (Trace) Enyart-Faulkner, Amarin Enyart, and Amy Farrar (Josh) Gibbs; and two great-grandchildren, Caylynn Bishop and Cayden Giles.
Frankie's life will be celebrated at a service at St. John's Cathedral in Knoxville on Saturday, January 24th at 11:00 a.m. followed by a reception for family and friends in the Parish Hall. The interment of her ashes will take place before the service at 10:00 a.m. in the Cathedral memorial garden.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - As a kid, Francisco Rodriguez couldn't afford to play in Little League, so his coach paid the bill.
Now coach Graciano Ravelo and millions of Venezuelans are basking in Rodriguez's sudden stardom as a reliever with the Anaheim Angels, playing in their first World Series against the San Francisco Giants.
Ravelo - a former player, manager, and assistant coach with the Caracas Lions of Venezuela's winter league, still runs the school in the Caracas slum of El Valle, where Rodriguez began playing at age 7.
"I think 99 percent of the kids who come here dream of playing in the United States," he said. "They dream of going as far as they can."
Rodriguez did, in a flash. In Game 2 on Sunday night, he pitched three perfect innings, allowing the Angels time to rally and tie the San Francisco Giants 9-all in the late innings. He struck out four batters - all on three pitches, and the Angels went on to win 11-10.
The 20-year-old is the youngest pitcher ever to win four postseason games - two against the New York Yankees and two against the Minnesota Twins - and go on to the World Series. Called up by the Angels in September, he tied Nolan Ryan's franchise record of eight consecutive strikeouts.
Rodriguez's fastball has captured the imagination of this baseball-mad South American nation, where winter league ball began this week.
"His great play doesn't just motivate the new generations. It's also bringing many people to the stadiums," former Cincinnati Reds great Dave Concepcion said. "It's been a long time since the big league Series has brought about so much enthusiasm among Venezuelans."
The kids are excited at the Graciano Ravelo Baseball School, where a dusty poster of Concepcion, the shortstop on the Big Red Machine's teams of the 1970s, hangs in a shabby office filled with trophies.
Using beat-up bats and balls, they scramble on a dusty diamond surrounded by towering apartment buildings and hillside shanties. It's an oasis where kids as young as 4 start swinging bats - and dreaming, just like Rodriguez.
"He learned here," 8-year-old Randy Alvarado said proudly.
Rodriguez's family couldn't afford the $7 monthly school fee, but Ravelo let him play anyway, as he does for other poor families.
Little League can be found throughout Venezuela, but because of poverty, most baseball is played in plazas, side streets and alleys.
Instead of a ball, kids often use a piece of newspaper, wrapped tightly with electrical tape. A broken broom stick serves as a bat.
Lacking a newspaper, kids plays "chapitas," or "caps." Pinching a bottle cap between the middle finger and the thumb, the pitcher flings it like a Frisbee. It's not easy - the tiny, flying cap is tough to hit.
"If you can hit that bottle cap with a stick, when a baseball comes your way, it looks like a watermelon," says Kenny Pinto, 21, a friend of Rodriguez's since age 5.
From these humble beginnings have come such Venezuelan stars as Cleveland shortstop Omar Vizquel, a 10-time Gold Glove winner; Montreal Expos' slugger Andres Galarraga; and Seattle pitcher Freddy Garcia, runner-up for last year's AL Cy Young Award.
Pinto still lives in the dilapidated apartment building above Barrio Kennedy, where the two friends grew up together.
"Francisco and I had a saying: 'Never pay attention to the public. If you do, you're already halfway lost.' That's why he concentrates so well when he's on the mound," Pinto said.
Rodriguez has certainly seemed focused in his postseason appearances, whether it was pitching in Yankee Stadium or the Metrodome - two especially intimidating places to play.
He mixes his 95-mph fastball with a nasty, late-breaking slider that freezes hitters.
Rodriguez's parents separated as a toddler, so his grandmother, Isabel, helped raise him with help from uncles, brothers and neighbors.
She often has to fiddle with the TV antenna to get rid of static so she can see him play.
"Sometimes I can't see him that well. What I'd really like would be seeing him in person," Isabel said. Family members recently were denied tourist visas to the United States, but they keep trying.
One thing that is clear to his family, though, is how Rodriguez will fare against Barry Bonds and the other Giants.
Oswaldo, an uncle who saw his teen-age nephew play against his university buddies years ago, is optimistic.
"He's always played against bigger players. He'll do just fine," he said.

When I see a sunrise like this I know it's gonna be a great day!
We setup a car shuttle of about six miles and then dropped in! Larry Canyon gets going fast.
Joe and JV already flying down the canyon after the initial rappel in.
Super sketchy anchor
Just plain sketchy anchor (beefed up with rocks.) The initial rappel in can be down climbed on the east side with some fourth class action.
Nice down climbing in smooth sandstone.
The infamous Larry Canyon deer offers JV a hand (hoof) down a short down climb.
Beautiful striations with nodules in the wall.
View down the first real rappel in Larry Canyon. Really sweet!
Joe is the guinea pig going down first.
Aron did a sketchy shimmey into his "crow's nest" for the best photo angle as CP raps down.
JV DCs down into the slot to the rappel anchor.
Bill being documented by Aron
JV gets on down
Aron managed to finagle out of his crow's nest and followed us down
The second rappel in this grand canyon brought us past a small pothole at the base of a smooth channel
Down climbing a by-pass section of a strenous down climb/slide was easier but more exposed.
Give me serious, Bill. Good.
Time to break out the headamps down in the depths of the canyon.
The canyon was narrower at the very bottom and with the soft sand on the ground, crawling was the best way through this section.
After the dark, narrow section the canyon opened up to a wide, bright area.
JV, me and Bill take a moment to relax in a wide section of the canyon.
The final rappel drops hikers down into a large alcove area during a two-stage rappel.
Exhuberant rappeling
Group photo after the last rappel in Larry Canyon. I bet Joe never had to take a re-take in elementary school photos--look at that solid pose.
Fun stuff on the way out. Big kids in an outdoor playground
A spring-fed pool
The exit crack looms above. It looked worse from afar.
Tough dudes!
Scrambling on sandstone domes on the climb out.
Shadow dancing....
What canyon is this again? Yeah, stupid.
Bill, JV, CP, Joe, Aron and I.
For the final scramble out I finally busted out my rock helmet. It's heavy and old, very old, but highly fashionable.
Fun with (punk) rocks.
Sandstone mohawks are so 90s but Bill doesn't care.
From rock mohawk to "package" size enhancer. Don't ever reverse the two actions. Ever.
Rock trundling is childish but, in fact, quite entertaining to men in their 30s as well. However, sandstone rocks break up quickly and create serious dust.
Back at the road just a short distance from the jeep. Sweet!
JV's signed book from Aron. JV only received one true WMPH card over the weekend (See Alcatraz Canyon album for details.)
Group photo on Sunday morning back at camp. Bill, Susan, Aron, CP, Jason, Kevin, JV, and Joe.

1 item from 2009
6 November 2009 3:36 PM, PST | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
Kids are creepy. They're all innocent and sweet and when you least expect it, they turn on you. We've seen our share of creepy kid movies this year but Stuart Culpepper's Jordan seems less interested in the creepy kid bringing a world of hurt to the adults around her and more concerned with the bond between mother and child.
It's the story of a little girl (a very adorable one at that) who, after a car accident which has left her mother unconscious, wonders through the forest alone in search of help. She's eventually discovered by a sheriff who wants to help but when a woman appears claiming to be the girl's mother, Jordan insists she doesn't know the woman. Who's telling the truth? Is Jordan simply confused or is this mysterious woman looking to claim the little girl for herself?

Stranger offers his help for amputee
Published: Tuesday, September 28, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 27, 2010 at 11:42 p.m.
After reading about Tokisha Ingram, a Flat Rock single mother who was forced to have multiple appendages amputated, a Laurel Park entrepreneur has decided to help out by creating a Web page for her.
Want to help?
Two benefits for Tokisha Ingram coming in October: What: Gospel singing
When: 6 p.m. Saturday
Where: Contemporary First Baptist Church, 429 Harris St., Hendersonville
Info: Yvonne Williams: 582-3397
What: Benefit in the Jackson Park with three bands, food and games, organized by friends and neighbors
When: Noon-5 p.m. Oct. 23
Where: Jackson Park
Matthew Bajakian, 24, of Social Network Strategies plans to use special programs and tools to spread the word about Ingram's predicament through Facebook, the social-networking website. He hopes to link Ingram with thousands of people through a Facebook group page by using software that pinpoints user demographics and geographic locations. He will invite others who can help her to join the targeted group.
"Facebook is a good outlet that can connect people through commonalities," Bajakian said.
As a result of a sudden illness in February 2009 that led to multiple organ failure, doctors had to amputate Ingram's legs below the knees and the top half of her fingers except for her right pinky.
Until she became ill, Ingram owned Tokisha's Hair Salon, a thriving business in Hendersonville. Her illness and subsequent loss of her limbs, especially her fingers, forced her to give up the business.
No longer able to work as a beautician to support herself and her two teenage children, Ingram is having trouble paying medical bills and living expenses.
Ingram said she is flattered by Bajakian's plans to create a Facebook page for her.
"This is a wonderful thing," Ingram said. "It is really nice that someone in the community you don't know can reach out and help."
Friends and neighbors also are planning fundraisers to help Ingram this month.
The story
On Ingram's 36th birthday, she felt intense pain in her back. By the time she arrived at the hospital, her kidneys were shutting down, poisoning her body.
Ingram fell into a coma for eight days at an Asheville hospital and doctors told her family there was nothing they could do for the young woman.
After waking from the coma, she spent weeks in and out of hospitals.
In August, multiple organ failures caused poor circulation in Ingram's body and that forced doctors to perform amputations.
Doctors said her sickness began after a bacterial infection that started in her urinary tract caused her kidneys to fail, which led to other organs shutting down.
Now, she relies on her family for basic care throughout the day. Her teenage children, Shanice Ingram and Gregory Daniels, help her after they get home from Hendersonville High School.
Adding to her troubles, Ingram used up the last of her savings in June.
Despite all of her challenges, Ingram tries to stay upbeat and points out some bright spots.
Since the amputations, she no longer needs kidney dialysis and she is scheduled to receive prosthetic legs. Prosthetic fingers may be a possibility.
And she is grateful for family, friends and community members who have rallied behind her.

Dividend Champions - The Best List for Dividend Investors
Investors who are looking for quality stocks that regularly raise dividends have several lists available as a starting point in their research. The typical lists include the S&P Dividend Aristocrats index, which consists of 42 constituents of the S&P 500 which have raised distributions for over a quarter of a century and also have certain capitalization, liquidity requirements. Another popular list includes the Dividend Achievers Index, which includes almost all companies traded on US exchanges which have consistently raised distributions for over one decade, and which also meet a certain liquidity threshold as well. The third list, the dividend champions, is maintained by Dave Fish. This is by far the most comprehensive list of dividend growth stocks available for free. It breaks down the dividend growth universe into dividend champions, dividend contenders and dividend challengers. The list could be obtained from this link.
The dividend champions list includes all stocks traded in the US, which have raised dividends for at least twenty-five consecutive years. I prefer the dividend champions list than the dividend aristocrats index, since it is more complete and does not have artificial requirements such as index membership or minimum trading volume. These requirements are typically irrelevant to long-term dividend investors, who focus on fundamentals that could support a growing distribution, not on day to day market fluctuations. Currently there are 97 dividend champions, which yield 2.94% on average. Some notable dividend champions include Colgate-Palmolive (CL), Procter & Gamble (PG) and Coca-Cola (KO). Colgate-Palmolive (CL) has consistently raised dividends for 47 years in a row, but for some strange reason is not a part of the dividend aristocrats index. This is a great example why focusing on the dividend champions list could provide a more comprehensive selection of elite dividend stocks. Another dividend champion is Altria Group (MO). The only reason why the company is not on the dividend aristocrat list is because its dividend payment is lower due to the spin-off of Phillip Morris International (PM) in 2008 and Kraft Foods (KFT) in 2007. Other than that, the tobacco company has managed to increase dividends for 43 years in a row.
The dividend contenders list consists of all publicly traded stocks in the US, which have raised distributions for over one decade, but less than 25 years. This list is similar to the dividend achievers index. In a previous study of the dividend achievers index, where I focused on the 1991 additions, I noted that almost 10% of companies that raise distributions for a decade will keep raising them for the next two decades. Most of the companies that end up on this list have gone through several economic cycles and kept growing distributions, which is the type of consistently positive feedback dividend income investors like in any market. Currently there are 131 contenders, yielding 3.12% on average. Some notable contenders include Chevron Corp(CVX), Kinder Morgan Partners (KMP) and United Technologies (UTX). Chevron has raised distributions for 23 years in a row, while United Technologies (UTX) has delivered sixteen years of consecutive dividend increases to its shareholders. Kinder Morgan (KMP) on the other hand has only raised distributions for fourteen years in a row.
The dividend challengers list includes companies which have raised dividends for at least five years in a row. Most of the companies on this list would probably stop growing distributions sometime before hitting the tenth year of dividend growth, particularly if it was a function of the companies being at the right place at the right time. However there is a big chance that this list includes the next dividend king like Procter & Gamble (PG), which would raise distributions for the next 50 years. Currently there are 189 dividend contenders with an average yield of 2.94%.
Some notable dividend challengers include Intel Corporation (INTC), Waste Management (WM) and Oneok (OKE). Intel and Waste Management have raised distributions for seven years each, while Oneok Inc (OKE) has raised distributions for eight consecutive years.
In summary, I use the dividend champions spreadsheet in order to uncover hidden dividend gems. It is the most comprehensive tool available to dividend growth investors, as it consists of more constituents than the total number of members of the dividend aristocrats and the dividend achievers indexes combined.
Full disclosure: Long PG, JNJ, UTX, KO, OKE, KMR, CVX, CL

Have you read the series Hungry City Chronicles?
First book in the series is: Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve
In the distant future, when cities move about and consume smaller towns, a 15-year-old apprentice is pushed out of London by the man he most admires and must seek answers in the perilous Out-Country, aided by one girl and the memory of another.
Rick Riordan, author of the incredibly popular "Percy Jackson & The Olympians" 5-book series, has left behind ancient Greece in favor of a new mythology: that of ancient Egypt. Riordan's new series launches today with the release of "The Red Pyramid."
Here's the book description:
"Since their mother's death, Carter and Sadie have become near strangers. While Sadie has lived with her grandparents in London, her brother has traveled the world with their father, the brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. Julius Kane.
One night, Dr. Kane brings the siblings together for a 'research experiment' at the British Museum, where he hopes to set things right for his family. Instead, he unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes him to oblivion and forces the children to flee for their lives.
Soon, Sadie and Carter discover that the gods of Egypt are waking, and the worst of them--Set--has his sights on the Kanes. To stop him, the siblings embark on a dangerous journey across the globe--a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family, and their links to a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs."
Sounds really cool, doesn't it? There is a pretty sizeable hold list right now for the book at the library, but once you've placed your hold you can read and listen to the first chapter through Amazon here: http://amzn.to/dCVY5r
Meet authors Michael Hemphill and Sam Riddleburger tomorrow at 10:00 as they bring their wacky senses of humor to the Headquarters Library. Kids ten and up will love their story about Stonewall Hinkleman, a typical twelve-year-old boy whose parents are ardent Civil War re-enactors. This means that every weekend he's dragged (his word) to another Civil War battle site. His father reveres an ancestor, Cyrus Hinkleman, who fought and died in the war, despite the fact that, as Stonewall puts it, "He was shot in the butt… Which can only mean one thing. He was running away when he was shot." Dressed in a scratchy wool uniform and dragging a bugle that he barely knows how to play, Stonewall sulks around wishing he could play his Game Boy.
Crash Into Me by Albert Borris.bm
Introverted Owen, brash confabulator Audrey, struggling lesbian Jin-Ae, and alcoholic Frank don't seem to have much in common, but they bond online over a shared interest: to commit suicide. Some of them have already made repeated attempts, and now they make a pact. They take a cross-country road trip from New Jersey, visiting the graves of famous people who have killed themselves, that will culminate at Death Valley.- Meredith Robbins

SDCC: Marvel's "Doctor Strange" Combats "Death and Pain" in New Trailer
Comic Books, Film
This is the seventy-fourth in a series of examinations of comic book urban legends and whether they are true or false. Click here for an archive of the previous seventy-three. Click here for a similar archive, only arranged by subject.
Let's begin!
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: Seaworld once had a DC Superhero water skiing feature.
STATUS: True
It may be hard to imagine Batman water skiing (although our pal H had a whole bit on an issue of Brave and the Bold where Batman does just that, including the following pic:).
But in the late 70s, that's just what happened!
SeaWorld had a water skiing/speedboat feature starring DC superheroes, including Batman, Batgirl, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Joker and Penguin!
Here's an ad they had in the comics of the day:
Here are some more pics, courtesy of the nostalgia site, Plaid Stallions.
That's DC Comic President Sol Harrison in the photo.
Pretty groovy, no?
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: DC produced comics for the CIA.
STATUS: False
A reader e-mailed me this question, and I just laughed at first, as it seemed silly – the CIA making a comic book? However, while there was no involvement from any comic book companies, I was surprised to learn that the CIA did, in fact, produce comic book-style manuals for use in Nicaragua in the early 1980s, to destabilize the Nicaraguan government.
Thanks to Crapaganda, here are examples from the actual "Sabotage Manual" (as it came to be referred to as) from Nicaragua in the 80s.
Notice how effective this depiction of how to knock down telephone wires is!
Drop typewriters!!!
And you actually can blow a fuse by putting a small coin in the socket!
So there you go, the CIA sure knew how to effectively use comic books to destabilize a government, but they did it on their own, they didn't have any help from any comic book company.
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: Steve Skeates once had to change The Question's dialogue by a rather odd decision by Steve Ditko.
STATUS: True
You can thank super Question fan, Eric Newsom, for this one, as he sent it in courtesy of his excellent fansite devoted to all things The Question, vicsage.com.
He featured it on his site here.
In any event, it detailed the first (and only) time Steve Skeates scripted a Question story, and it took place in Blue Beetle #4.
Ditko and I very rarely had any personal contact at all! Still, a rather interesting happenstance did occur when I scripted my one and only QUESTION episode (the one I wrote under the pen-name Warren Savin — "Kill Vic Sage!" it was called!)! I did a bit of dialogue in which The Question says to the villain of the piece "Now listen, my friend –" and therefore received a six-page letter from Steve detailing why the Question would never call a criminal "friend," and even if he meant it sarcastically, why sarcasm was somehow beneath The Question!
This was a rather daunting and even rather scary letter for someone who was essentially still a "green kid" writingwise to receive, to say the least! The offending "friend" reference was of course removed from the finished product — in fact, one can still see where that reference originally was, seeing as there's one balloon in that story that strangely has a larger than usual amount of empty white space in it!!
Here is the panel in question!
Pretty awesome, no?
Well, that's it for this week, thanks for stopping by!
Feel free to drop off any urban legends you'd like to see featured!
That water skiing Joker is awesome.
Steve Dikto is so whacky he should get his own reality TV show.
(honestly, they give them all to boring celbrity wannabes. Give it to Dikto, and half the show would be him throwing stuff at the camera and refusing to talk to them. Ratings Gold!)
Sabotage comics is most disturbing, comics should always be used as a force for good not evil.
'Evil comics'
Now that sounds like a gimme idea.
Not too long ago, there was a bit of an uproar down here in AZ because the Mexican government was producing comic books to show illegal immigrants how to get into the U.S. and fit in without getting caught. The CIA is not the only organization who can do it! Did that make big national news? Here, of course, it was the big story for a while.
What character is that supposed to be standing on Flash and Aquaman's shoulders? The woman to her right is meant to be Black Canary, I suppose, but I'm stumped on that one. . .
Tony– According to my memory of my old copy of AMAZING WORLD OF DC COMICS where those pics were originally published, that was supposed to be Mera.
I can't believe I suppressed this memory but I saw the water skiing show as a kid. I might have this mixed up with something else but I'm pretty sure there was a magic act involved in the show. At one point Aquaman's wife or girlfriend (I think that might be the character Tony was wondering about) was put in one of the magic boxes that split into three sections so it looks like the person inside has been cut to pieces. I can't remember much but I assume everything turned out well.
Yeah, it is supposed to be Mera (Mera?!?!?), which I guess makes sense, with it being on water and all.
I guess.
I remember seeing that water show when I was a kid. I'm pretty sure I still have my suviners (sp?) from back then. I'll have to go thru my stuff & see if I can find them. I also remember going to a play that starred Bugs Bunny & his gang along with Batman & Robin & possibly other heroes. I was really young then & may have it mixed up some what. Anyone else recall anything like that? It would have been about 27 or 28 years ago.
I think you're right about magic at the ski show, Mark. I saw it at Sea World in Ohio when I was a kid. All I have are vague memories of being scared. It had to have been the first time I'd seen "live" super heroes "fighting".
I think we were close enough to get a little wet, which, looking back, is probably pretty disgusting. Who knows what was in that water?
I may have pictures somewhere. I'll look around.
That is one ugly Batman costume, I must say.
You're not messing anything up. I just read about the Bugs Bunny meets the Superheroes show in Twomorrow Press's Back Issue magazine. Apparently, there were a series of them about when you said you'd seen one.
They sure were inventive about crossovers and merchandizing their products in other media back then, eh?
I remember the waterski ads in the back of the comics of course, but they actually published the picture of the superheroes waterskiing in pyramid formation in the Travel section of the Toronto Star (this would be in '78 or '79 I suppose) and from that point on I wanted to go to Sea World. (There was also a colour version in a travel brochure at the local supermarket to remind me). Of course, my parents weren't nearly so captivated with the idea of going to Florida just to satisfy my need to see live-action superheroes.
Eventually, we did go to Florida in '81 and we went to Sea World. And they had a waterskiing show, only it was the Hatfields and the McCoys by then. I was unbelievably disappointed.
Is it true that John Byrne turned the Vision white so that he and the Scarlet Witch would resemble Caspar and Wendy?
Credit where it's due (or not):
Carmine Infantino takes credit for plotting Bat-Lash, the story of the first Superman movie and creating Kamandi, among other dubious claims. Can you determine the accuracy of these?
Also: Neal Adams and Roy Thomas dispute who plotted the Kree/Skrull war, which actually began before Adams took over as Avengers artist. Adams also says that he was offered any Marvel book he wanted when he took over X-Men in the late '60s. ANY book? Even Kirby's FF?
If there are any other claims which seem suspicious to you, please mention them too!
I saw the DC SuperHeroes water ski show, as performed at Sea World in Florida.
Not shown in the pictures are the actors playing Lois Lane and Perry White, along with several others.
Since seeing people (even in costumes) being dragged by a boat gets repetitive, part of the show actually took place on a stage. This is where the Joker would try to make Batgirl disappear (via a magician's trick) and other such things. The Joker, as lead villian, did not do any waterskiing. The Penguin is also shown in that photo, while the Riddler and Catwoman are not shown.
There was also a BatBoat in the show, and Lois and Perry were played for comedy, being dragged behind it.
In addition, in his only live action appearance before the recent episodes of SMALLVILLE. an actor playing Green Arrow did a high dive into a bullseye. That's him directly above the Joker.
Also note one thing in the Pyramid. All the costumes are lacking footwear. You can also see Aquaman's wife Mera, in her only live appearance in the pyramid shot.
Oddly enough, the least used hero in the show was Superman.
Mike Curtis
Formerly of COMICS OBSCURA
A potential Urban Legend (to which I already know the answer, but it might make for a fun column): was the Masters of the Universe movie a thinly veiled take on Jack Kirby's "New Gods" stories?
Burned into my memory is the night my family and I walked up to our local arena only to be told THE BUGS BUNNY FOLLIES was sold out! I was crushed because if my memory was right it wasn't just any superheroes but THE Batman and Robin, Adam West and Burt Ward!! I'm thinking this was 1975 or 76…..
Holy Flashback Batman!
I hadn't thought of those water skiing super heroes for years! I remember my Aunt Betty Anne McCormack (we called her "Aunt BAM") took my siter and I and two cousins to Florida, and we HAD to go to Sea World to see the water skiing super-heroes!!
Thanks for the wacky flashback, BC!
When Crossgen was a going concern, the owner of Crossgen and the writers claimed that "a bible" existed for their fictional universe that outlined the overarching storylines for their company and their characters. Obviously, most of the storylines will never be completed as the company is now defunct. Is there anyplace to find out what was contained in this "bible" or what might have been the intended conclusions of their storylines? Not really an urban legend more just a question.
is there a story behind the lack of trade paperback collections of the abnett/lanning/coipel legion from a few years ago? i understand that the present day focus is on waid's legion but i thought i once read paul levitz has a certain "stance" on the DnA/coipel (focusing on coipel if i remember what i read correctly) legion. i believe the DnA run did have some TPB's published after coipel left the book. it seems odd that the legion lost min-series never got collected nor did the first storyline from the then new legion ongoing both with coipel on art.
I saw the Sea World show as a kid. I remember it well. It was a real treat. It did include magic acts as well. I remember being very scared when the Joker and the Penguin ran through the audience during a magic trick. But Batman and Robin weren't far behind.
I don't remember the costumes looking so cheesy. To me, it was the real deal. Pretty amazing to see the pictures now.
Yep! I have fond memories of both the Sea World event and the Bugs Bunny show… both things I remember that my dad took me to. The magic show was a weird thing to see as a kid. It sort of freaked me out.
I love seeing these pictures now! It would be fun to see a filming of the event for nostaglic purposes… sort of like the old Mego commercials.
I don't think it was an odd decision from Ditko, and when you have read some of Ditko's Question. You know that Vic would never call a criminal a friend, so im on Ditko's side here.
A CIA produced propaganda comic book air dropped over Grenada after we invaded.
This was done by Malcolm Ater's Commercial Comics Company. The CIA paid him 35k. In cash.
I recognise the artist from 60's – 70's era Dell type stuff but don't know exactly who it is. Jack Sparling, maybe?
I also saw the DC Heroes water skiing show at Sea World in Auroura Ohio in the late 70's. It was one of the most awesome parts of the whole day. I remember in one part of the story the Joker was trying to use a contraption called the "swiss cheese hole maker" to kill Batman. The photo above of the pyramid stunt brought back memories. I belive my mom still has some old 8 mm home movies of that trip including the skiing show with a shot very similar to that photo.
I would never have recognized Aquaman or Mera from that photo.
I'm really enjoying this site!
I love the comment "It may be hard to imagine Batman water skiing". That's not the only water ski show to include Batman!
In Northern California there was a theme park similar to Sea World called Marine World. Originally, the place was strictly animal shows (plus the ski show and an acrobat show) with some elements of a zoo/aquarium (a giraffe habitat, a shark enclosure, etc.). Their original water ski show, as I remember it, was a spoof of old detective stories and film noir. When Six Flags bought the park (circa '99), they changed it to a Batman flavored show — based on Batman Forever, no less. That water ski show was operating until just a few years ago. I'm told that a Six Flags in Ohio also had the same show.
>>> Sabotage comics is most disturbing, comics should always be used as a force for good not evil.
Well, depending on who you're sabotaging, one could make an argument that sabotage itself is good. The various Resistance groups in France during WWII who went out of their way to sabotage Nazi operations would almost certainly consider their actions to be a war of good versus evil, with them clearly on the side of good.
The problem with politics (and history) is that one man's freedom fighter is often someone else's terrorist.
I actually was able to see at least part of that DC heroes' show when I was at Seaworld as a three-year-old, and I still remember the announcer saying, "Don't laugh yet, Joker!"
Tearing down telephone wires more or less by hand seems like a good way to get electrocuted.
I'm impressed with the accuracy of the memories of those who saw the Sea World show more than 30 years ago!
I am posting an oral history of that show – way more posts than I was expecting to do, but it was so fun – at http://noblemania.blogspot.com/2011/08/super-70s-and-80s-sea-world-superheroes.html.
This includes interviews with the skiers themselves (plus production staff) and loads of rare, previously unpublished candid photos.
Skier interviews begin here: http://noblemania.blogspot.com/2011/09/super-70s-and-80s-sea-world-superheroes.html.
Oh, and Chazz and Sterg, on the off chance you're getting email alerts about responses to this post: the Bugs Bunny Meets the Superheroes show is one of the other shows I will be covering in this blog series. Those posts begin posting 9/27/11.
I remember the Sea Worlds ads in the comics, but never went to Sea World to see it. Even as a kid, superheroes doing water skiing didn't sound any better than superheroes on ice (ice-skating, that is).
I saw the waterskiing show in August of 1977 (at age nine) at Seaworld in Aurora OH, but the only memory I have, other than just being there is the sale of Famous First Editions by vendors walking through the audience. My parents bought the Batman #1 reprint since I was a huge Batman fan (and still am). My memories of that comic are more vivid than the watershow itself.
What an amazing water-ski show! I wish I could see it.
does anyone remember a 1970's batman comic where atom has to enter his ear to save his lif after he gets electrocuted on a powerpole?if so is it worth anything?good condition

ON THE ROAD; Even in Fog, That City On a Hill Dazzles
By R. W. APPLE Jr.
Published: June 25, 1999
SAN FRANCISCO— More than any other, this is the city that Americans fantasize about. No one leaves his heart in Salt Lake City. No one calls Baltimore Baghdad by the Bay, as Herb Caen, the city's six-day-a-week poet laureate for more than 50 years, called San Francisco.
For me San Francisco has always been a paradox: a thoroughly worldly place, yet remote and somehow detached from world capitals like New York and London; a little indifferent to the mundane business of trading shares and casting votes; in other words, a bit smug. (The good Mr. Caen, who before his death in 1997 did for San Francisco what Samuel Pepys did for London, once quoted a local citizen who, upon reaching heaven, reported back to friends here that ''it's nice, but it isn't San Francisco.'')
Yet San Francisco looms large in the imagination of everyone who knows it, myself most decidedly included. Like Paris, Venice and Hong Kong, it is a city without peer, a city of myth and magic.
I can't think of the place without thinking about sourdough bread and Alice Waters, who revolutionized American cooking; Joe DiMaggio, the fisherman's son, and A. P. Giannini, another Italian-American, who built the world's largest bank; Turk Murphy and San Francisco jazz; Alcatraz and San Quentin; the hairpin bends on Lombard Street and the sudden watery vistas.
The weather I could do without. Fog veils the city so often that a local radio station has adopted the call letters KFOG. Fog bleaches the color from the perky paint jobs on the Victorian frame houses that march up and down the city's distinctive hills. When the fog finally lifts, when everything sparkles in the sun, it is an occasion for celebration. Yes! A five-bridge day, with all the spans from the Golden Gate almost down to Palo Alto clearly visible.
But fog has its uses. Several years ago, crossing the Bay Bridge from Oakland to San Francisco at dawn, my wife, Betsey, and I watched bug-eyed as the Transamerica pyramid and the city's other towers rose bronzed and beautiful from their cloudy bed. Nothing, in truth, not fog or rain or fire or quake, ever quite masks San Francisco's beauty or quenches its exuberance. Its setting rivals Rio's. Its charm compares with Boston's. Its joie de vivre nearly matches that of New Orleans; it lacks only the last Latin measure of heedlessness.
Characters from Nob Hill and Telegraph Hill, Chinatown and the Tenderloin have walked straight into the pages of Bret Harte, Jack London, Frank Norris, Dashiell Hammett, Tom Wolfe (who found the essential San Francisco experience in ''roaring up hills or down hills, sliding on and off the cable-car tracks'') and John Steinbeck, who loved San Francisco, as he wrote, when ''the afternoon sun painted her white and gold, rising on her hills like a noble city in a happy dream.''
San Francisco is on something of a cultural tear lately, cementing its position as the West Coast's cultural capital, although Los Angeles is by no means the pothole full of philistines many San Franciscans see when (if) they take the plane south.
The San Francisco Opera is the nation's second largest, after the Met, and it has the largest budget of any West Coast arts organization.
An old autocrat named Kurt Herbert Adler built the opera's reputation, bringing singers of the caliber of Tebaldi, Schwarzkopf and Fassbaender to the United States for the first time. Lotfi Mansouri, the current general director, has gradually lengthened the season, and during the 10 months from next September through July 2000, 11 different operas will be performed.
At the moment, the opera is in the midst of four cycles of Wagner's immense ''Ring of the Nibelung'' at the War Memorial Opera House (the place where the United Nations Charter was signed on June 26, 1945, by representatives of 50 nations). The 15-year-old production was reshaped by Andrei Serban, the Romanian-born stage director, who had never seen a complete ''Ring'' until his own. Jane Eaglen, Deborah Voigt and James Morris are among the gods, demigods and giants onstage. The final cycle ends on July 3.
A Genuine Celebrity
Not to be outdone, the city's orchestra is just concluding an ambitious Stravinsky festival, exploring the master's work in Russia, Paris and Los Angeles, where its music director, Michael Tilson Thomas, then in his 20's, knew him at the end of his long, hugely productive career. Successor to luminaries like Monteux and Krips, the lithe, lean Maestro Thomas is one of only three American-born music directors of major American orchestras, along with Leonard Slatkin in Washington and Andrew Litton in Dallas. M. T. T., as the local papers call him, is one of San Francisco's genuine celebrities these days, a Pied Piper leading the young back into the concert hall.
If the critics grumble once in a while, the public has responded warmly to his programs in his nearly four years here, and even a Vienna audience would have been impressed, I think, by his powerful but never bombastic Bruckner Ninth in Davies Symphony Hall early this spring.
As ever under Mr. Thomas, there will be a lot of American and modern music next season, plus a tasty rarity, Elgar's ''Dream of Gerontius.''

Hi there -- I just tried the Per Page Sidebars plugin on a wordpress 3.3.1 site. Following the instructions, it mentioned
- Upload the tcc-pps directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
- Modify the display settings as needed on the Settings > Per Page Sidebar page.
That last step had me confused. I didn't see anything in my Settings section that said "Per Page Sidebar." Anybody else have this error?

"Beautiful Mt. Lofty Ranges" Mount Lofty Range by balhannah
Mount Lofty Range Travel Guide: 12 reviews and 12 photos
The Mount Lofty Ranges extend for a long way in both direction's behind the capital city, Adelaide.
The well known "Adelaide Hills" is part of the Mount Lofty Ranges and is only a 30min drive or Bus ride from Adelaide. It really is a beautiful area to visit, with plenty of sightseeing, pleasant towns, and activities to do!
Take note of the beautiful large Gum trees, this is what Sir Hans Heysen loved, and painted, his paintings can be seen in the Art Academy in Hahndorf, a quaint, German town, the oldest German Settlement in South Australia.
These days, Wine growing has taken over a lot of the Dairy Farms, and it has become well known for its wine, with some excellent Wineries in Lenswood, the Picadilly valley and Chain of Ponds where they produce a nice Chardonnay.
For excellent views, drive to the top of Mt. Lofty Summit and enjoy the great view over Adelaide.
Adelaide is a city that in the night time, the lights tend to "twinkle."
There are lots of excellent scenic routes which you can take to get to the Mount Lofty Ranges.
From Adelaide to the Barossa Valley, you will come across Birdwood, where the National Motor Museum is located and is worth a visit
Morialta Conservation Park is a nice park that has rocky gorges and waterfalls.
For Australian wildlife that you can mingle with, then head to the Cleland Wildlife Park, which is near Mt. Lofty. Also at Mt. Lofty, is the lovely Botanic gardens, especially nice in Autumn, when the leaves are coloured.
Belair National Park also has a wildlife sanctuary at Warrawong.
Another town is Strathalbyn, which was settled this time by Scottish immigrants. It is well known for its antique shops.
There are lots and lots of beautiful sights to see, as well as Fruit Orchard's, Vegetable farming, Dairy farming, National Parks, Great views, Bush-walking and much more! A popular walking trail, is the Heysen Trail.
The town of Lobethal is like 'fairyland' at Christmas time, the whole town lights up. It is extra pretty, as it is located in a valley with hills on either side.
If you come to Adelaide, then don't forget to visit the Adelaide Hills in the Mount Lofty Ranges, it would be a shame if you did!
- Pros:Very scenic area, close to Adelaide
- Cons:Bushfires in Summer
- In a nutshell:One of the pretty area's in Australia

Always enjoy a trip to the Adelaide Hills, Harndorf was my favourite. When I retired we won a trip to Adelaide and 3 nights on the Murray River Paddle Boat.
Fine photos and tips on this scenic area. After looking at the map I now understand the origin of your VT member-name.
Now, I know why Mt. Lofty rang a bell when I saw your page: I've been to the wildlife park many many years ago :) Lovely scenic area!

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Even as Cleveland's mayor proclaimed April 18 "Superman Day" to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the release of Action Comics #1, a federal judge effectively brought to an end the lengthy legal battle for the rights to the Man of Steel.
Deadline reports that on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Otis Wright granted summary judgment to DC Comics, declaring that a 2001 agreement with the heirs of Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel included the rights to Superboy and advertisements for Action Comics #1. Those two issues had been left unresolved in a January decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturning a 2008 ruling that the family had successfully reclaimed a portion of Siegel's copyright to the first Superman story under a provision of the 1976 Copyright Act.
Immediately following the successful debut of Superman in 1938, the writer had pitched DC the idea of a series following "the exploits of Superman as a young man." The publisher twice rejected the proposal, but in 1943, while Siegel was stationed overseas in the Army, it released a five-page story introducing Superboy, without the writer's consent. Four years later, Siegel and artist Joe Shuster filed two lawsuits against the publisher, one to void their Superman agreement and the other for the rights to Superboy; they ended up agreeing to drop all claims in exchange for $94,000. However, that was merely the beginning of the decades-long dispute.
In the 2008 ruling, the judge determined the Siegels' 1997 copyright termination didn't incorporate Superboy and the Action Comics preview ads, but on Thursday Wright wrote "they undoubtedly intended" for those works to be included, and used the potential termination of those rights as leverage to negotiate the 2001 settlement. Under that agreement, the Siegels relinquished all claims to Superman and Superboy (as well as The Spectre) in exchange for "a $2 million advance, a $1 million non-recoupable signing bonus, forgiveness of a previous $250,000 advance, a guarantee of $500,000 per year for 10 years, a 6% royalty of gross revenues, and various other royalties." They were also to receive medical and dental insurance.
While the Siegels had argued they never accepted that deal, the Ninth Circuit determined in January that they had, therefore preventing them from reclaiming a portion of the copyright to Action Comics #1. The family has since changed strategy, arguing that if there was a contract with DC, then the publisher has failed to perform. (That explains the recent addition of the line "By Special Arrangement with the Jerry Siegel Family" to the credits of any DC title featuring Superman, a stipulation of the 2001 agreement.) Wright reiterated his earlier assertion that any breach-of-contract claims will have to be dealt with in state court.
Barring appeal, that contractual matter would appear to be the only dangling thread in the long, bitter fight for the rights to Superman.
The 2008 decision appeared, at least at the time, to pave the way for the Shuster estate to reclaim his portion of this this year, giving the two families ownership of the Man of Steel's defining elements, including his origin, his secret identity, Lois Lane and certain aspects of his costume and powers (super-strength and super-speed). But in October 2012, a judge found that a copyright-termination filed in 2003 by Shuster's nephew Mark Peary was invalidated by a 20-year-old agreement with DC in which the late artist's sister Jean Peavy relinquished all claims to Superman in exchange "more than $600,000 and other benefits," including payment of Shuster's debts following his death earlier that year and a $25,000 annual pension for Peavy.
I've never quite understood how there could even be a separate copyright for Superboy when he's more or less Superman. Either S&S (or DC) own everything or nothing.
Anyone have any good links that explain this quirk of copyright law that is clearly a real thing?
DC can do way more with the character than the S&S family can. Plus, the current S&S family didn't do anything for superman. I wish they would just take a mountain of money (which they didn't earn) and leave DC alone.
$94,000? Back in the 1940s how much would that be equal to in todays dollars?
Really a nephew tried to make money off this?
Hopefully this will be wrapped up soon. Seems like a lot of money has already been paid out.
how can superboy have a separate copyright when he really suppose to be superman in his young days . and thus once again dc manages to be able to have superman in their possession for good and thus his creators still get screwed a little bit after the victories they have won in this battle even though this is still far from over plus still don't get how the spectre is included in this super man fight.
"…still don't get how the spectre is included in this super man fight."
The Spectre was co-created (with artist Bernard Baily) by Jerry Siegel.
I hope this is *finally* over. After being paid MILLIONS of dollars for the rights to Superman and his entire family, hopefully the creators' families will finally shut the eff up. What more do they want? Go enjoy life and all the money you received. Quit being such whiny babies.
I don't understand how members of a family can claim ANYTHING from work done by Seigel and Shuster. These two did it all … not their families. In the 70s after the Chris Reeves Superman movie, Warner should have paid Joe and Jerry about $25mill each … heck, the film made over 10 times that … with clauses in the contract that stopped any further claims.
However, I bet this was a scam by a greedy, grasping lawyer trying to sink his hooks into the property! American Law needs to sort things out so that legal services like law firms don't overly profit from ANY case!
And the families should understand that the well is now dry!
$94,000? Back in the 1940s how much would that be equal to in todays dollars?
About $1.3 Million according to http://www.dollartimes.com/calculators/inflation.htm
Finally. One step closer to this being completely over. Those greedy parasitic descendants don't deserve any more money.
Breach of contract should be easy now that DC has secured the rights: payment was delayed until they knew the final price and can now pay, especially from the (intended) profits of Man Of Steel.
Quite frankly, credit, annual stipend, health insurance (for those who are getting up there in years), plus back pay all seems to be quite a compensation for a character they've already made agreements upon before. WB/DC has also never painted the heirs as villains — their lawyer being another matter altogether — and I expect WB will invite them to the Man Of Steel premiere to try and show they are trying to be friends again.
Yup this sh!t needs to just end already. DC should own everything Superman by now and thats end of story.
So let me get this straight your father creates something very cool, he feels that he was wronged by the people that he made the deal with and uses every single legal recourse to get that wronged right but because the legal system is so slow he passes away you because you loved your family and yes there is a possibility to make well for yourself and your family by continuing your fathers crusade… this makes them greedy?
Incredible that DC always gave peanuts for this billion dollar property. They hoped they get sued big time for breaching their own contract. One wonders what others could do with Superman. Would Moore be willing to write for a creator-owned property like he did for Image?
pay some money to the family, settle, and produce some more DVD sets of the live action Superboy show.
@Demoncat "…how can superboy have a separate copyright when he really suppose to be superman in his young days ."
Because it's not the concept of "young Superman" it's literally the name itself "Superboy" where the copyright exists.
@Brenticles inflation from the 94000 dollars originally paid for by DC would equal out to 1.5 million dollars today.
How many times has S&S or their families relinquished their claims to Superman?
The $94,000 deal sounds like it was done a long time ago, then there was the deal around the time of the first movie, the 1992 agreement, the 2001 settlement…
I wrote this is 2009 for another forum and thought I'd just paste it here:
Alright I did a little research and found a couple of figures that make this interesting. Seigel and Shuster were paid $75,000 in 1940 (which in todays dollar would be $1,097781). In 1946 they were paid somewhere between $94,00 and $120,000 (which today would be somewhere between $988,33 to $1,261,703). Then in 1975 WB agreed to pay each man $20,000 a year for the rest of their lives (Shuster lived until 1992 and Seigel lived until 1996, and in 1975 $20, 000 was worth $76,000 today). So while I'm not sure if I can really say they were paid their fair share, it's not like they never got anything for creating Superman.

text: The metagame has definitely changed a lot since the creation of RU. Many Pokemon that were once viable and good are now considered to be complete jokes, up to the point where one can consider the opponent a complete noob or a total joke for using them. This thread is for discussing the Pokemon that have fallen and why they fell to their current position in the RU metagame. I'll start. Mandibuzz (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Overcoat EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SDef Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk) - Taunt - Roost - Whirlwind - Brave Bird / Toxic Mandibuzz used to be a staple on stall teams, and was a solid choice during the hail meta for hail teams since it was a solid wall that was immune to hail. It was also a major pain for my awesome TR Hail team. Its ability to phaze and shut down walls with Taunt was greatly appreciated. It could stop the ever-popular OTR Cofagrigus easily, especially if it ran Toxic. However, it is simply not as good as it used to be. It cannot stand up to the new powerhouses in the tier, such as Nidoqueen and Moltres. It also takes major damage from Pokemon such as Escavalier, and be used as set-up fodder for Pokemon such as Taunt + SD Drapion and Smeargle. OTR Cofagrigus is just not as good as it was before, lowering Mandibuzz's niche even more.

I wanted to gain advantage over my online snooker opponents. I feel shame.
Yeah, this is before the Euro.
Haha, please don't turn me into a meme.
It should be. You're the host, and the guest is supposed to be welcomed properly.
HAHA. You'll be fine. Just eat a lot of turkey on New Year's Eve and show up fresh the following day.
I wouldn't do that, sorry. I just wanted to accentuate my Nnnnnnnnoooooooo... with some extra sarcasm.
Now that we've won the Euro I've decided to relax and stop worrying about my online snooker ranking.
Congratulations for that.
You guys need to hire a different PR manager though. @Gorecki is awful. Referring to other poasters as "porkpies" and "frogs" in his trophy-accepting ceremony was not kewl.
Well, he's always been awful. He's the first poster I had an altercation with when I joined the board. I didn't even know he was Portuguese then.
LOL. That kind of tells you something right there, doesn't it?
Though according to him he's half Canucklehead.
