What do John Dillinger, Montgomery Clift, Frank Sinatra, and the driver of the car that killed James Dean at the crossroads have in common? The stockade at Schofield Barracks.
Note that even if you were alive before one of these people died, the spirit realm has a different concept of time. Who do you identify with, and why? Multiple answers are possible, even probable.
Friday… Not too shabby.
Passover, Good Friday, Good day to catch a movie.
I’m going to skip House of 1000 corpses, even if it has a Clown ringmaster named Captain Spaulding. That’s something you go to see with a group to mock it. Same with Bulletproof Monk. Eek.. Looking at what’s playing, I may have to consult the nearby art theatre. Nothing mainstream is piquing my interest. [Update: Nothing interesting to Scotto is playing there either!] Am I just more discerning now? There was a time for about 2 years that I would hit a movie every week, somewhere. Of course that was when I had connections there, and could just walk in for free, fill up a brown lunch bag with theatre corn, and kick back. I think I got to see Ghost Dog five times that way.
Brother brought me over some goodies of his that he didn’t want bulking him down anymore while he’s relocating to a new home. Most worth mentioning are a rotisserie oven and a high-powered squirt gun.
Got sniped out of my n50 at the last moment, so I’m placing a bid on a new one…. d’oh!
Dan called me the other day and mentioned that he thought if I put a link in my lj asking for money, even if I didn’t give a reason, people would give it to me. The problem being of course… I wouldn’t want to bilk nice people. So a fun service might be instead a variant of the national star registry… the Scotto hair registry. For the low introductory price of $10, a hair will be plucked, sealed in a protective container, and catalogued. The buyer will receive a certificate of authenticity and a note about the hair’s native region. For a gold membership of $25, the patron will be allowed to choose a region from which the hair is gathered, and a day pass to visit the storage facility during normal operating hours. Possibly a chance to meet Scotto himself!
Of course, that’s just a gag. I wouldn’t want to set up all the licenses and tax stuff to run a business like that.
