I'm telling you, people, this isn't fair, not by any means...

Cincinnati Patrolled By Real-Life Superheroes. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
By Meredith Woerner
Cincinnati has its own Allegiance of Heroes led by a 21-year-old masked superhero named Shadowhare. These superheroes patrol the streets carrying legal weapons in hopes of hindering evildoers. This will so not end well.
Many of these crime fighters are a part of the The World Superhero Registry, which we've mentioned before. And I'm assuming the Registry will have to take responsibility for putting these heroes together once their mangled carcasses are discovered floating in a river somewhere.
According to Cincinnati's WLWT, Shadowhare has been teaming up with members Aclyptico in Pennsylvania, Wall Creeper in Colorado and Master Legend in Florida.
"I've even teamed up with Mr. Extreme in California — San Diego — and we were trying to track down a rapist," said Shadowhare.
As of right now Shadowhare has only experienced a dislocated shoulder while trying to help a woman who was being attacked.
While I'm happy that citizens are trying to rid the streets of crime, I cannot imagine what would happen if we dropped the Allegiance off in a real crime-ridden street. Imagine these costumed kids getting dropped off at "the towers" on The Wire, now that's a TV cross over show that should have been filmed. They're like moving targets for a superhero hate crime. Be safe, fellas.

CHUY DAH April 2009
** This issue is dedicated to RayLynn Jane, the granddaughter of Lt. Cmdr. Khavid and Lt. j.g. Kammie, our resident Chief Security Officer and Chief Recreation Officer. She was born on March 13th, 2009, weighing 7 lbs, 11 oz. and measuring 18 inches long.
On behalf of the Doomslayer, I hoist a flagon of bloodwine in tribute of her birth!
FROM THE XO’S CHAIR
Okay, okay, I know what you’re going to say… "Admiral, with all due respect, this may be the latest you’ve ever put out CHUY DAH -- um. . .what happened?" Since you’re asking me politely, why then, I’ll tell you.
It seems that the Terran Two-Step (a.k.a. stomach flu) has taken a short trip though my home, and everyone here has had it, including my esteemed self. And it was not pretty, let me tell you. Thank Kahless for chicken soup -- better then anything in a hypospray.
I also managed to break a tooth as well, so I’ve been working on getting that problem remedied. Thus, I’ve been a tad distracted, and that’s why this edition is late this month.
At last month’s meeting, we set up the year’s event calendar, and here’s what we have (for your reference):
April: General Ship meeting at Buehler’s
May: “Star Trek” movie outing (Movie, dinner, mall crawl)
June: Ship’s Picnic at Tuscora Park
July: Borders Trip
August: General Ship meeting at Buehler’s
September: Movie Night & Potluck Dinner at my house
October: General Ship Meeting at Buehler’s
November: General Ship Meeting at Buehler’s
December: Ship’s Christmas Party
As always, keep in mind that all events may be subject to change -- nothing is ever set in stone; it’s more like set on a Etch-a-Sketch…
CHIEF ENGINEER’S REPORT
In (hopefully) about three months’ time, I'm going to start studying to become a holistic health practitioner. If you look at my blog ,you'll see a new post, and the promise of on-going posts regarding empirical experiments I'm doing on myself and K‘Dot.

CHUY DAH March 2009
I’d like to dedicate this newsletter to my great-niece Gwendolyn Renee, who was born on February 13th. She came into the world at 7 lbs. 13 oz, measured 20” long, and has the thickest head of hair I’ve ever seen on a newborn.
FROM THE XO’S CHAIR
TWO-TIME CHAMPION: I'm going to start this month's edition off with a bit of personal celebrating -- I'm proud to announce that I won the People's Choice Award for a second time in my church's chili cook-off! I've also decided that I'm retiring from any future cook-offs; I'd rather go out on top.
FROM THE SICK AND INJURED LIST: First of all, I’m pleased to report that our Chancellor and Chief Engineer -- both hospitalized recently -- are back in action. The ship’s been a little too quiet without you both.
REUNION UPDATE: Talks with the Schoenbrunn Inn and Marlite Conference Center have concluded, and we now have a new location for the Camp Dover Reunion. (My thanks to Capt. K’Dot, who assisted in the overall negotiations.)
Starting on St. Patrick’s Day, the Inn will start taking reservations for the Reunion weekend -- and with the hotel holding 40 rooms so far, I’d recommend calling ASAP, and make sure you ask for the Camp Dover special so you can get in on the reduced rate. We’re just waiting now to see what the Marlite Conference Center has in mind as far as catering goes.
Even though we now have over a year to handle the event planning - instead of a couple of months -- we’re fairly well-ahead of schedule. But we don’t have the luxury of coasting along. I want to continue with our original thinking, which was to have everything configured by the end of the year. This way, when 2010 comes around, all we have to do is assemble everything and be ready well in advance.
**************
Yes, this newsletter is short for this month...because there's not much else to report right now.

Klingon Criminal Robs Two 7-Elevens In Colorado
By Meredith Woerner, 10:30 AM on Wed Feb 4 2009
Are the Colorado Klingons so desperate for money? Apparently, yes. One of them robbed two stores with the Klingon bat'leth, also known as the "sword of honor."
According to the Denver's ABC Channel 7 News:
Colorado Springs police are looking for a man who hit two 7-Eleven convenience stores early Wednesday, armed with a Klingon sword. The first robbery was reported at 1:50 a.m., at 145 N Spruce St. The clerk told police a white man in his 20s, wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and wearing a black mask, entered the store with a weapon the clerk recognized from the Star Trek TV series.
The robber demanded money and left with an undisclosed amount.

CHUY DAH Feb. 2009
THIS ISSUE OF CHUY DAH IS DEDICATED TO THE NFL’S NEWLY-CROWNED 6-TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS - THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS!!
Had to get that out of my system.
Before I get to business - and trust me, there’s a lot for this issue - I also want to dedicate this issue to Lt. Cmdr Khavid and Lt. jg. Kammie, who are celebrating their anniversary today. Have fun, you two, and keep the furniture throwing to a minimum, okay? The replicator can only work so fast.
I also have a personal announcement: this past week, the Chancellor has seen fit to promote me in honorific from sutai- to full zantai-. I’m just now getting over the shock, and my head has finally quit thumping from the thwap he gave me…
Now, as to business…where to start?
THE STEAMING PILES OF MONKEY CRAP JUST KEEP ON COMING: Here’s an overview of the current state of affairs as far as the CDPC Reunion goes:
Bluntly, folks, and in three words, we got mud-sucked.
Things all started from a phone call I received about two weeks ago from the hotel’s sales director; it seems the hotel was scheduled to undergo major renovations -- they’re changing from a Holiday Inn to a Holiday Inn Express, and during the Reunion, they wouldn’t actually be a Holiday Inn, they’d technically just be “the New Philadelphia Hotel”. Thus, we would no longer need to have an off-duty policeman on the premises.
Something told me to not feel too confident about this, because it was just too good to be true-- they had been so insistent on this point, and now to suddenly change tactics so easily as this?
They also told me that the renovations wouldn’t start until after the reunion. Again, this was sounding way too good to be true.
Well, I always hate it when I’m right, and once again I was right.
I received a 2nd phone call last week from the hotel; apparently the corporate offices ruled that it would not be “fiscally feasible to keep the hotel open just for [our] event“. The banquet rooms would be open, but everyone would have to stay at the Super 8 Motel, situated behind the Holiday Inn. If you’ve ever seen that Super 8, not only is it too small for what we need, but it’s a very disreputable place -- there’ve been numerous drug busts there, not to mention other criminal incidents. We’re talking an overall logistical nightmare here.
Thus, the mud-sucking.
On a personal aside, I hate to sound paranoid, but I find it a little too coincidental that those renovations just happened to be scheduled when we have the reunion planned. You may think the same. But I digress.
After discussing the situation with the Chancellor and Capt. K’Dot, the decision was made to postpone the reunion for this year, cancel our contracts with the Holiday Inn, and concentrate on the 2010 reunion.
Does this foul up our momentum? Not really. Does it stop us? No. I’ll tell you, this development and change in plans has not been well-received by some, but frankly, there’s not much else we can do about it. You can’t sprinkle sugar on this crap and call it candy, but it is what it is. We’ve had worse problems thrown at us, and like Clint Eastwood said in one of my favorite movies, “Heartbreak Ridge”, we improvise, we adapt, we overcome.
Now we have more time to get things done that we’ve already planned to do, and thus not have to rush around when the time comes close. After all, we were half-way finished to begin with, I see no reason to stop working as we’ve been all along. In my opinion, this is no major obstacle, it’s nothing but a speed-bump. Besides, with the Chancellor’s recent health problems, he needs time to rest and get back on his feet.
As of this newsletter, we are currently in negotiations with the Schoenbrunn Inn and the Marlite Conference Center to stage the Reunion for next year.
And don’t worry -- I’ve got a 4-page letter written to send off to the Holiday Inn offices.
THE AIR‘S GETTING CHILI: This month’s meeting will still take place as scheduled -- on February 15 (it’s a Sunday; Saturday is Valentine’s Day, and for those of you who are married, I don’t want to interfere with any plans any of you might have)at the Parkside Buehlers meeting room, but instead of it being at 2 pm, it’s going to start at 2:30.
The reason for this is that I’m entered in my church’s 2nd Chili Cookoff, and the event doesn’t end till 2 pm -- thus, I’m going to be a little late, and the room is in my name. Now, if you want to come to the cook-off and lend some support (I won the People’s Choice Award the first time I competed; this time I’m shooting for the Best Overall award -- or as I call it, the “World Heavyweight Championship“), I’d enjoy seeing you there; it’s $5 for admission tickets, and my church is St. John’s United Church of Christ (which is around the corner from the old Donut Shop -- contact me if you want better directions).
By the way, it’s been recommended I should mention that I will be participating in full uniform, and if you choose to come in uniform yourself, use discretion -- after all, we’re going to be in church, and I don‘t want to see anyone struck by lightning…

CHUY DAH January 2009 -- The New Year's Issue
FROM THE XO'S CHAIR
Once more, the Earth has orbited around the sun, and that means one thing - another year has passed. I hope everyone has enjoyed the holiday season; I know I did.
It’s January 2009, and if you’re a Klingon -- and especially if you’re a member of the Mighty Doomslayer, January means something else this year: The Camp Dover Reunion is only 4 months away!
At this point, I’m proud to say that everything thus far is going right along as planned, and we’re right where we should be at this point. I wanted to have the lion’s share of preparations done by the end of the year, and overall we've done so.
* NEW MEETING PLACE AND TIME* With the start of the new year, we have a new meeting place and a new meeting time. The new meeting place is the Meeting room at the Buehler’s Parkside store, and as of this month, meetings will be every second Saturday of the month (save for next month’s meeting, which will be on the second Sunday instead; the second Saturday of February is St. Valentine’s Day) from 2-4 pm.
For this month’s meeting, I’d like to double-check and update not only our roster, but the ship’s calendar as well. Why? I want to make sure I’ve got everyone’s birthdays and anniversaries correct, as well as double-checking the ages of the cadets to make sure their ranks are up to date.
* ENOUGH TALKING AND WAITING, LET’S JUST DO IT * (And that’s not what you may think I’m talking about, so get your mind out of the gutter! Geez!) We’ve been talking way too much about getting back to gaming, and I can’t wait any more, so here’s what we’re going to do. Since we tend to finish meeting ahead of schedule, and we have 2 hours for the use of the new meeting room, I’m going to run “old-school” Dungeons and Dragons sessions.
There’s not going to be any complex world or background, nothing like that -- it’s just going to be good old-fashioned dungeon crawls -- doors to kick open, monsters to fight, treasure to loot. Nothing fancy, just fun. I’ll provide the basic characters, but it’ll be up to you to give them life and personality.
