Pideyman

My new "nickname" is Pideyman. Jenn sent me this song, it was done by Bianca. There's even a movie called Pideyman.

Pideyman Song

pideyman, pideyman,
Does whatever a pider can.
spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves just like flies.
Look out! Here comes the pideyman.
Is he strong? Listen bud
He's got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread?
Take a look overhead.
Hey there! There goes the pideyman.
In the chill of the night,
At the scene of the crime,
Like a streak of light,
He arrives just in time!
pideyman, pideyman,
Friendly neighborhood pideyman.
Wealth and fame, he's ignored
Action is his reward.
To him,
Life is a great big bang-up
Wherever there's a hang-up,
You'll find the pideyman!!!!!

September 11, 2001

As we remember the events from September 11, 2001, there was another "terrorist" event that happened earlier in 2001 that some people might have forgotten about. Here's part of the story from Reuters on January 17, 2001:

Truck Slams Into California State Capitol
By Joshua Chaffin

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Reuters) - A big-rig truck rammed into California's state capitol building on Tuesday, setting off a fiery explosion just as state lawmakers were finishing an emergency bill designed to ease the state's critical power crisis.

Officials said the driver of the truck, which was loaded with evaporated milk, was killed in the incident, which witnesses said appeared to be some kind of bizarre attack.

"There's no question in my mind that this was a deliberate act," Assembly Speaker Robert Hertzberg said after he and other lawmakers were evacuated from the building.

Police said they were treating the incident as a possible crime, but had no immediate information on possible reason for the crash, or whether it was an intentional act or an accident.

"That has not been determined," Capt. Dennis Williams, the California Highway Patrol's chief of Capitol security, told a news conference.

Mini Mall on Jay Leno
If you watched Jay Walking on the Tonight Show last night you might have spotted a familiar character. The guy that does the Montgomery Mini Mall Rap was the first person that Jay Leno spoke to.

I thought the guy looked familiar and when he said he was from Montgomery, AL. I knew instantly. pretty funny.

I wonder if the Tonight Show knew that they were talking to a You Tube Celebrity?

come on lets do this dance...
To the left
To the Right
Its just like...its just like, a Mini-Mall...

If you are clueless about the Mini-Mall rap, you should goto You Tube and search for it. Its a pretty funny commercial. There's even some fan base out on the internet on similar commericals. Just another great use of the internet.
