When Good Arachnids Go Bad...

Damn, the economy must really be in the dumper when you've got superheros knocking over convenience stores...



From this story in the Oklahoman

Police are looking for a man who wore a Spider-Man mask and another masked robber who pointed a gun at a clerk's head during a convenience store robbery. About 8:40 p.m. Aug. 5, police were sent to Fred's Food Mart at 3123 N. Portland Ave., police Master Sgt. Gary Knight said. The store surveillance camera captured video of the robbery. The man who aimed the gun at the clerk was wearing the Spider-Man mask. The other robber can be seen wearing a blue mask in the video.

Maybe he lost a ton of money on the Broadway musical debacle? Or maybe crime-fighting just doesn't pay any more, but I figured if Spider-Man really wanted to steal from the public he'd be smart enough to run for public office instead of this penny-ante stuff. But whaddya expect from a superhero who can't fly and can be killed with a can of Raid? You damn sure wouldn't see Superman robbing the Quickie-Mart...

In other news, apologies for the (continued) lack of activity on the blog, but damn, can you blame me? Who the hell can be motivated to find anything to say in the dead of summer? I sure can't. Can't train dogs. Can't fish. Can't find anything worth saying.

But September is two weeks away. And with apologies to Havilah Babcock, my health (mental and otherwise) starts getting better in September.

Until then, watch out for six-foot spiders...
