Basementdweller 608 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Comic con was wonderful......It is great seeing gals dressed up like Laura Croft or Princess Lea...Not to mention the number of green lanterns and bat mans. The Best costume was a guy Dress up like the main character from Desert Punk... Son picked up a few more Captain Americas he was missing.....I got a couple pieces of art signed. We sat and watched the crowd for a couple of hours...... The ACM called and no one died on the hike either. I think the De and FOS guy gave up....phone didn't ring at all today.

Scoutfish 16 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Basement, You ever look at some of these comic book characters and wonder who the hell they are? I remember sitting in my uncle s store in Cape Hatteras reading $0.25 cent comic books and $0.75 double issue horror comics while sitting net to his wood burning stove. Yeah, way back in the day. Lee Robinson's General Store in Hatteras Village at the south end of Cape Hatteras. Had a wood burning stove in the center of the store and a couple wooden rocking chairs. I haven't bought a comic since then. I think I kept up with Mad Magazine until 1989 or 1990, but never did read the comics again. Link to post Share on other sites
Basementdweller 608 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Ya fish....I do wonder... As a young man I read sgt rock, richie rich, occasionally the xmen, thor.....While I never followed Iron man or the avengers.....I have started reading them recently......I am guessing that is why the son is reading and collecting captain america. He was disappointed by the movie..... I never read the horror comics, just not my thing I guess. Looking at the prices on the books today makes me wish I had took better care of them as a young man.

ghermanno 11 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hi Guys, Same subject Different DE. Thought we had a decent chance with this DE as he was new... District Comittee "consisting of about 4 Scouters" came up sith a plan for recruiting. Doing massive "area" recruiting (kinda like mini Scout Shows) on the same day. A few weeks later the DE told us that Council had decided otherwise and that they wanted to run thiers first. They have recruited quite a few new Packs and Troops. Unfortunately, the 2 UC's for the District (one active) that they have can NOT cover a whole District. They don't care about that, they will take care of that later (been trying to get them to help for over a year). As well as being a UC, I am also the BS RTC. Meeting 2nd Th. of every month at 6:30pm. Council want to do a "Fireside chat" so they sent out an email telling people that the time for RT had changed to 6pm. Funny, they didn't ask either the CS RTC or myself. They just rescheduled it. I sent a sarcstic email basically asking the DE what HIS theme was and who HIS guest speaker was as I assume he is taking over RT (by the way, he rarely attends). I feel kinda bad about the email but they just wont see the picture and I guess I am achieving burn-out. I support BSA but I have trouble supporting National... Thanks for letting me vent. YiS, Rick Link to post Share on other sites

Doc Meyer 10 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Yeah, local councils sure are touchy about petty things like following the Guide to Safe Scouting or actually registering members that are participating in your unit. The nerve! But you're not doing anything wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
Basementdweller 608 Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Ahhhh, another from on high answer from Doc......How is the weather on Olympus today??????? Ya know doc it is pretty easy bein a rich white guy from the burbs and having two parents in every household. First, Neither I or the Pack have extra cash to Pay for the young men who have not paid their registrations. The parents have the scholarship paperwork in hand.... This monday is deadline pay or leave for the boys. Second G2SS show me the quote about webelos den camping and where the Adult to Scout Ratio is 1 to 1. I would like to thank you for your pompous reply. I understand your a big district and council kinda guy, but you forget with out us little guys you wouldn't have a district to be a Napoleon of.
