The memeticians are on vacation.
Memetician EA Blair is currently visiting a friend in Alaska. I'd call him a lucky bastard, but he planned the entire trip well in advance, so he's not really lucky. He's just a smart. And he saw a moose yesterday while playing disc golf.
Memetician Joe is in Cape May, NJ. Not as exciting as Alaska, but probably more relaxing. On Friday he will then be heading to Brooklyn to see Grace Potter and the Nocturnals for free. He will not see a moose.
Memetician Tim is not on vacation, but is busy uncovering one of the greatest scandals in the history of our country. He did not or will see any moose, but saw plenty of jackasses.
Until next week...
Cincinnati, have no fear. Shadow Hare has your back. Armed with a taser, handcuffs, pepper spray, and nifty superhero outfit, Shadow Hare, a 21-year-old "crime fighter," is patrolling the streets and fighting crime.
From a local news write-up:
Shadow Hare is not alone in his quest to fight crime. He heads up a group of men -- and one woman -- called the "Allegiance of Heroes." The members communicate with each other in online forums. Among the members are Aclyptico in Pennsylvania, Wall Creeper in Colorado and Master Legend in Florida.
"I've even teamed up with Mr. Extreme in California -- San Diego -- and we were trying to track down a rapist," said Shadow Hare.
Check out the Heroes Network picture with tags. These guys need marketing help with their superhero names. Tothian? Nostrum? Are these crusaders or new brand-name drugs? (Thx Tricia).
The first volume of W.F.P. Napier's four-volume set, History of the War in the Peninsula and in the South of France, was returned to the shelves of Washington and Lee University's library, after an absence of 52,858 days.
A Union soldier named C.S. Gates took the book from Washington College, as it was then called, on June 11, 1864, when General David Hunter and his army of West Virginia raided the area and looted the college's buildings.Gates, however, thought he was exacting revenge on Washington College's next-door neighbor, the Virginia Military Institute, which was set on fire by the raiding party.
A note signed by Gates and inscribed in the book reads: "This book was taken from the Military Institute at Lexington Virginia in June 1864 when General Hunter was on his Lynchburg raid. The Institution was burned by the order of Gen Hunter. The remains of Gen. Stonewall Jackson rest in the cemetery at this place."
The book was returned by Mike Dau, of Lake Forest, IL, who inherited it from the Lake Forest couple, Myron and Isabel Gates, ancestors of the aforementioned soldier.
If Washington and Lee would have hired Detective Bookman, this never would have been an issue.
