How To Talk to superheroes

It's never easy talking to superheroes. They're playing at being real life comic book characters, in a make believe fantasy world of their own making. Unfortunately, this fantasy roleplay of theirs, happens to impact the real world, and all too often, in a negative and dangerous way. Innocent people's lives are often put in danger, because adults want to play children's games instead of accepting their responsibilities as hard working honest citizens.

Superhero criminals are being found and arrested more and more frequently as their uncontrolled excesses are visited upon real people, going about their daily lives. Just a few found recent examples;

1) Superhero freak impacts thousands in unprovoked traffic chaos.

2) Children, following superhero examples, try and play games with rapists.

3) Doctor dressed as superhero rebuffed when trying to aid an accident victim.

4) Reenactment of superhero self-manslaughter.

5) Arrested for assault, superhero considers suing the city for protecting itself from him.

6) World Famous author, describes first hand experience with the New York Initiative.

7) City attorney calls superhero a "vigilante" and a "deeply misguided individual".

8) Superhero, carrying weapons arrested for assault on Police Officers.

9) Superhero arrested for assaulting citizens.

10) Superhero Breaking and Entering (Illegal) Time index 0:19.

11) Superheroes firing arrows from a bow on a rooftop in a crowded city (Illegal) Time index 0:38.

11) ____________________________________________________________
                                  (it's only a matter of time, isn't it?)


Stay safe America. When you see superheroes, be safe, call the police, and prosecute them for all their crimes. Remember: superheroes are Not law enforcement, and any "command" they give you, you may ignore. If they assault you, or attempt to falsely imprison you, or restrict your freedom in any way, you are free to seek justice in a court of law. We are Citizens, not cowards or fools, to be seduced by their fantasies, or to give up our freedoms, laws, and justice, to their selling of fear.

Ubermas To Do List: 2011

Lucrezia Borgia

Greetings and Lamentations, I AM Lord Malignance, and you Will Crouch! before me Now!
(Villains excepted of course),

So the year 2011 is winding down, with parties and business (and business parties) to attend to. There is the Villain's Holiday of Ubermas to be about, and as it has been declared, the most Unholiday is upon us. This year, as is the tradition, there are many activities to avail Oneself upon, and these form a tentative Ubermas To Do List for Oneself;

The Feast
Probably Lair Offsite, Diabolical Madame X to attend.

The Skullian Pranks
Recognizing the Fun the White Skull had last year. Something bizarre and Addamsesque. Not sure what yet.

The Selling Out
One doesn't actually offer any Products and Service (at least none that One advertises about), so will direct you to ROACH for the T-Shirts, or the Leader Der Sturmer, who has a book to please consider for yourself (find him in Facebook).

The Toast of Borgia
Wine left in goblets for the Ghost of Lucrezia Borgia near the basement trapdoor. Watching mirrors for her possible appearance.

Attempts of Daring
Cookies? Can One do cookies? Perhaps a Carol, or piece of music? A Poem perhaps? One will have to see.

The Boasting
There is a "Villain of the Year" contest going on in Facebook, and One is not being worshiped. Me! So, yes, that's going to happen.

The Opulence
Yet another Feast, this one at the Lair. Business associates - so basically, the silverware is counted before anyone is allowed to leave. Some beast must be prepared - something crazy. Last year it was Elk. This year, One is angling for Moose. You can purchase these meats at a Butcher's. One has that particularly city liberal attitude about killing: Can't do it myself. Perhaps a goose?

The Dancing
Yes, and there will probably be drinking and cackling. The less said about this, perhaps the better.


To all the Villains, in whatever ways you celebrate,
Sinister Ubermas !

Example of Why Villains are More Fun

"Ainley's great love of the role is often cited in documentaries and DVD commentaries. Script Editor Eric Saward claimed that he introduced himself over the phone by saying "This is the Master" and then would laugh. In the commentary and documentary for The Mark of the Rani, both Colin Baker and Kate O'Mara say that "He only ever wanted to play the Master". Colin Baker remarked that he could afford this luxury because he had built up a private income by the mid-1980s and had inherited a considerable sum of money from his father."

Occupy Oakland Arrests: Armor-Wearing "Real Life Superhero" Faces Resisting Arrest Charge

Real-life superheroes on a more peaceful day. Sorvari is on the right.

​UPDATE, 12:50 p.m.: Those who want to donate to Sorvari's bail fund can do so here. 

Original story:

Three of the Occupy Oakland protesters who were arrested after last week's General Strike turned chaotic were arraigned in Alameda Superior Court on Monday. Among them was a roughed up "real-life superhero" who had attended the march dressed as a ninja with homemade armor, but whose family believes he might have been mistaken by cops for a black bloc anarchist.

Roy Sorvari, a 22-year-old former Boy Scout who lives with his parents in Antioch, answered to charges of resisting arrest -- prosecutors alleged he kicked and attempted to hit a cop with his shield. With stitches in his forehead and two black eyes, the 5-foot-5, 130-pound Sorvari claims he had been beaten and knocked unconscious during the early hours last Thursday -- perhaps by police -- after the protest turned violent, according to his attorney, Jeffrey Kaloustian, of the National Lawyers Guild. Sorvari faces a felony charge of resisting arrest and a $15,000 bail. 

The Alameda County district attorney didn't file charges for eight other protesters of the 11 who were scheduled to be arraigned yesterday. They were the same ones who'd been held in custody over the weekend or who'd posted bail, according to Greg Michalec of Occupy Legal, an organization set up for the legal defense of arrested demonstrators. The rest of the 103 protesters arrested during last week's strike will be arraigned in the coming weeks.

Sorvari, awesomely, belongs to a international confederation of civilian peacekeepers --  somewhat akin to the Guardian Angels -- who don cartoonish costumes and call themselves the "Real Life Superheroes." The group claims about a half-dozen members in the Bay Area,  said a fellow superhero with the handle "Motor Mouth" who showed up in the courtroom Monday to support Sorvari.

"Motor Mouth" said he and Sorvari -- whose superhero handle is "Ray" -- have been providing security at night for the Occupy Oakland encampment in Frank Ogawa Plaza, protecting the people's right to assembly. 

While "Motor Mouth" didn't attend the general strike last week, he says Sorvari showed up in his usual superhero get-up -- a black balaclava, all-black clothes, ski goggles, and homemade body armor that lights up. In addition, "Motor Mouth" says he'd lent Sorvari a Captain America-like shield for the event. 

"Motor Mouth" says he is "120 percent sure" that cops had mistaken Sorvari for one of the black bloc anarchists who emerged after the peaceful march, breaking windows and setting fire in downtown Oakland in the early morning hours on Thursday.

Sorvari's mother, Lynn, said, "Maybe that was a mistake; maybe he should have had a more high-profile costume."

His parents, who are between jobs and have four other children, say they are going to start a PayPal account for donations to help them pay $1,500 -- the 10 percent they have to put up for Sorvari's bail. We'll post an update as soon as the account is up and running.

When Kaloustian came out Monday afternoon after talking to Sorvari, he delivered the following message to "Motor Mouth," who was waiting in the hallway: "Sorry about losing your shield."

Couple of points of Contention:

1) He was wearing his Ninja/Terrorist outfit

2) "Motor Mouth" said he and Sorvari -- whose superhero handle is "Ray" -- have been providing security at night for the Occupy Oakland encampment in Frank Ogawa Plaza, protecting the people's right to assembly.  (From the text above). 

Security? One thought that was the duty and responsibility of the Police. Because they have a public Mandate by the people of the city and state to provide that service. Not play batmen.

The Search for the Perfect Steak Continues

DIY Sous vide cooking

By Mark Frauenfelder at 10:44 am Friday, Nov 4

Jon Kalish reports on DIY sous vide immersion cookers. (In a recent issue of MAKE magazine, we ran a how-to article on building a sous vide cooker for about $75. Here are the full instructions. )

Sous vide cooking was once the province of chefs at fancy restaurants and home cooks willing to shell out close to $1,000 for a water oven. Now, do-it-yourselfers are making their own, inexpensive sous vide cooking rigs.

With sous vide cooking, meat, fish or vegetables are placed in sealed plastic bags and cooked at relatively low temperatures for long periods of time — like 48 hours or so. The juices are saved, and foods don't get overcooked.

People who cook at home with sous vide setups tend to rave about their steaks. "I do not buy steaks at restaurants anymore, because we can make them much better this way," says Dustin Andrews, a software engineer and self-described "maker" in Duvall, Wash.

Followers of this blog will know that One has been pursuing The Perfect Steak for some time;


The Aluminum Chef has contributed. 


One has attempted to simulate his directions.


One has also mugged the Overlord (Link to that is located elsewhere) - it's a foolproof (you would think) YouTube video. 


And so far, the steaks have improved, but none are what One would consider "Perfect" - or you know, really, really good. Doing the meat "justice" kind of good. Like every steakhouse or restaurant in America. 


One is still working on finding or creating the Most Evil Sandwich in the World. Research remains ongoing.  


One knows these things exist. One has enjoyed them! But the mysteries of their creation eludes me. ME! So, the quests continue. 




The Secrets WILL be Mine.

West Seattle Super Villain Group Claims Responsibility For Phoenix Jones Arrest

Written by DCLocalOct 12, 2011

WEST SEATTLE, Washington, October 12, 2011 (WSFB) – A Russian super villain group based in West Seattle has claimed responsibility for the arrest of famous Seattle crime fighting super hero Phoenix Jones. Jones was arrested by Seattle Police early Sunday morning in Pioneer Square after being attacked by a group of Russian Super Villains.

“Let this message be clear to all the citizens of Seattle. Evil is going to triumph. Your faith in super heroes like Phoenix Jones to protect you from crime and corruption is misplaced. The super heroes of the Seattle are powerless against the might of the Glasnost be Damned super villain group. We control the Seattle Police. We control Seattle City Light. And we control the Seattle DOT.” Glasnost be Damned leader Vladimir Kalashnikov, who goes by the super villain name “Captain Chernobyl” said with a deep menacing voice during an interview at Tully’s Coffee on Alki Beach. “But we do not control King County Metro,” he added somewhat sheepishly, “So please make sure people know not to complain to us about that.”

Kalashnikov said that last weekend’s capture and arrest of Jones, code named “Operation Spray Back” was carefully planned out over the past several months and meticulously orchestrated by Glasnost be Damn, also known as GdB, in conjunction with other Russian groups. He said that in addition to fielding 12 Russian super villians dressed in Russian clothing so as not to arouse suspicion, the group also brought in several Russian dancers, racecar drivers, and stuntmen to pull off the daring act.

“The technological and logistical sophistication of GdB allowed us to lure the unwitting Phoenix Jones into our elaborate trap.” Kalashnikov continued. He said that the group had several Russian Stuntmen stage a carefully choreographed fight scene consistent with Russian brawling tactics, namely four blonde stuntmen giving the boot to another blonde stuntman who was down on the ground covered with fake blood, knowing that Phoenix Jones couldn’t help but run to the rescue. Once Jones dispersed the group and stopped the assault, the stuntmen quickly withdrew and were replaced by a Russian dance troupe who quickly began dancing the traditional Russian Kozachok dance, Kalashnikov said. The Kozacok, better known as the Cossack or That-Russian-Squat-Leg-Kick-Thing in the United States, is a source of National pride for many Russians.

The Russian super villain group GdB was established in 1997 according to their website. The group’s secret hide out is rumored to be located in the 7300 block of Beach Drive, although there are many unconfirmed reports that the group has an elaborate underground compound located beneath Lincoln Park. The group has previously claimed credit for orchestrating the WTO riots in 1999 and the Mardi Gras riots in 2001. GdB disavows any involvement in the 6.8-magnitude earthquake that struck the Northwest in 2001 and called speculation that the quake was the result of the group performing underground explosive testing, “Crazy Talk.”

When asked about what’s next for the group, Kalashinikov chuckled menacingly saying he couldn’t disclose all his plans, although he hinted that they may be working on something involving the Viaduct, the Tunnel, and the “complete and total devastation the Seattle waterfront from Sodo to Belltown.” When asked if his group had any comment on the large number of Russian workers seen in the area of West Seattle known as “the hole”, Kalashnikov simple smiled and said, “Not just yet.” before laughing maniacally over his latte.
