Top Ten Unmanliest Superheroes

I was surprised to see Batman on this list, but he makes a good point regarding the untility belt:

For starters, he has to use all those gadgets and gizmos to get anything done, and while some may hail his utility belt as a wonderful piece of crime-fighting equipment, all I see is a glorified fanny pack.

See the entire list here.

Here’s a hint on who’s number one:

I gave a homeless kid a camera

A few years ago, I gave a camera and some film to a homeless kid I had befriended while visiting some family in San Luis Obispo CA. He had been thrown out of his parents house for drugs a month ago, and been crashing with friends, generally bumming around the central coast since then. After giving him a brief lesson in the use of a manual camera (it was this beat up old Fujica 35mm), I asked him to shoot all the film, then mail it back to me. In exchange, I’d let him keep the camera. I didn’t expect to hear from him again, but the kid seemed interested in photography, and he didn’t have much else going for him, so I gave him the camera and the film.

A few months ago, I received a large envelope filled with photos in the mail from the kid, along with a brief letter describing what he had been doing since I last saw him. There were about a hundred photos, mostly horribly under or over exposed pictures of people sitting around, but here are the more interesting ones.

Governor Good Hair and Son

There is a news article in the Dallas Morning News that has a picture of Governor Good Hair’s son.

My first thought about him was the terrible parent Governor Good Hair must be – how could he let his son’s hair look like road kill compared to his!

But then I had a second thought, maybe the Son of Good Hair is adopted?  Who knows . . .

My third thought was that I was surprised his son wasn’t brainwashed into attending that cult of a university down in College Station like his father.  Hey, maybe that supports my adoption theory?
