What Super Hero Are You? A Quiz

The Super Hero Test said to me:

"You like to sleep a lot during the day and you are most active at night! You help out people in trouble and you 'drive' a really cool car! You also like to wear your undies on the outside of your clothes!" 

I just look like Wonder Woman according to my HERITAGE.

Who do you look like?  'Find the Celebrity in You'

Celebrities at Mid-Ohio-Con include The Soup Nazi from Seinfeld, a couuple of characters from 'Three's Company" and of course comic book superstars.

c. 2006 Columbus Best Blog 

Everyday is like Wednesday to Caleb Mozzocco...  Saturday cartoons and football, a Columbus Best Blog tradition... sometimes... and I found a new Columbus Blog.. new to me anyway... I believe I found it on Tuesday.

Everyday is like Wednesday to  Caleb.  J. Caleb Mozzocco a freelance writer and cartoonist in Columbus Ohio... his blog is called 'Everyday is like Wednesday.'

"Comic book reviews, commentary, and related miscellanea, because God knows what the Internet needs is more sites about comic books."

Columubsite Mozzocco wrote There is no K in Ohio usually  about another cartoonist, Keith Knight visiting Columbus on a recent Saturday Day afternoon...   a football Saturday in Columbus "OH"- "IO."

"I'm sad to report that Knight's observations about Columbus are 100% accurate. Shouting "O-H!" is all you need to do to illicit a repsponse from just about any random Columbus crowd."

Keith Knight of the K Chronicles /th(ink) illustrated the greeting, cheer, tradition... whatever it is.
