"Courage and perseverance are important if one is to run anything resembling a news organization...the folks at theOtaku.com have demonstrated themselves to have ample quantities of both."

"A couple years of experience in the Otaku circle have taught me at least one good lesson--to trust Adam."

I was depositing money at my ATM when a guy walks in. He moves toward the trash bucket adjacent to the machine, opens the lid, and heaves the entire bag of thrown-away ATM receipts into his arms
He exits and jumps into a sedan, which speeds off, another driver at the wheel.
When I finally realize what happened, it was too late, the car was gone...I could have been a hero 
---
Here's what MIGHT have happened:
The guy jumps into the sedan, which starts to drive away.
"HEY!" I yell.
I kick the door of the ATM room open and run like the T-1000 from Terminator 2 chasing after the sedan.
"GO! GO! GO!" yells the ATM thief
I catch up to the sedan and launch myself onto its roof. The sedan swerves from left to right, trying to shake me off
I kick my legs over the side of the car and smash them through the passenger window. My legs wrap around the ATM thief's neck and pulls him out of the window and onto the roof of the car. We're leaning low, face to face, trying to keep balance as the car enters the highway
"You're crazy, you're CRAZY!" he yells, clutching the bag of ATM receipts
"And you're OTAK0WNED." I reply
The ATM thief races toward me, back bent forward and head down. Just then a news helicopter swoops in to film the battle.
In one motion I stomp onto the thief's back, grab the bag of ATM receipts, jump many feet into the air and hoist myself onto the helicopter's legs
The helicopter ascends and its pilot gives me a thumbs-up. I watch as a police blockade stops and arrests the two evil-doers.
Maybe next time...
-- I am thrilled that MoonCostumes is still going to be a theO sponsor, even after we put the cosplay site on hiatus. Watch for their ads to reappear on theO
-- I'm hoping we get Guru submissions/approvals back online again and fix whatever's going on with its rating system
-- Thanks for all your comments about my potential baldness
-- Taxes are due tomorrow
-- Brazilian JuJitsu requires you to be EXTREMELY secure in your sexuality
-- I waste WAYYY too much time on AIM/E-mail...need to trim that down
-- I went into my theO backroom today and all 20 lines of 'recent updates' were filled (is this the new BINGO???)
I still can't tell if I'm sick or healthy. I feel generally fine but will suddenly be faint and need to lie down. I have an appointment tomorrow, hopefully I feel well for it.
My photoshop friend finished 'baldifying' me...he did an amazing job. I'm only going to keep this link online for a little bit, but here's the **before and after** quick photo I took.
What do you think? Everyone gets one vote...
I've been thinking a lot about how I'd look like if I shaved my head.
Being an analytical person I found a photoshop guru who's going to take a photo of me and 'baldify' it. Maybe if he does a great job I'll even post it here for your opinions.
(These are the things I think about in my spare time...)
Everyone who commented on my last post has been 'founder blessed'
I'm still in the ephemeral state between health and sickness. I was much weaker today than yesterday, spent a lot of time in bed, but I'm not quite sick yet. I had 3000% Vitamin C through some pills, I wonder if that, combined with all the positive karma, helped...
Also: I'm probably going to merge the ongoing improvements WORLD with the official WORLD.
