Protected: 7018 – And another one down… another one bites the dust.
7017 – I bet you’ve never smelled a real school bus before.
Looks like form buttons still work… I’ve really got to clean up the links to dead sites, and revise some of my old static text on the website. Maybe over TG weekend.
Short Week! Monday-Wed is it. I’m getting TG and the following Friday off, and I have technician issues covered.
Rock over London – Rock on, Chicago – Wheaties the breakfast of champions
I have some kind of crazy mojo going on lately. I’m surely going to kick back and enjoy it while it lasts.
While I’m feeling particularly egotistical….
Hercules, hero of song and story!
Hercules, winner of ancient glory!
Fighting for the right, fighting with his might;
With the strength of ten, ordinary men!
Hercules, people are safe when near him!
Hercules, only the evil fear him!
Softness in his eyes, iron in his thighs;
Virtue in his heart, fire in every part of
The Mighty Hercules!
Having a sidekick named Newton is purely coincidental.
When I saw a clip last night from Ferris Bueller’s Day off, all I could think of was “Drunk Driver (Broderick) vs Pedophile (Jones)”. Also starring that Dirty Dancing gal before she got her nose job, and the Perv character from Spin city.
The absolute best site about jam sandwiches.
Workers came back on Sunday, and started doing more remodeling in the apartments next door… it sounds like they’re tearing up the floor tile again, or an outside wall.

7016 – Is it true that giraffes are the only animals born with horns?
Walkabout yesterday started as a dud, but ended on a high note.
Dragon’s lair, picked up a pair of Pirates of the Spanish Main game decks. (we never got around to opening them… good for next time.)
Dan and I went to the Seminole Casino… booooring. I totally fail to catch the appeal of Texas hold ’em or electronic slot machines… we ate food that was better suited to a food court, and tried to people-watch.. yawny yawn yawn..
Afterwards, we went out to the pool, which had a nifty sort of “yosimite” looking water slide, but nothing really camera worthy.
A bit disappointed, Dan and I headed to a local watering hole to just chit-chat… that ended things on a higher note.
Dan headed out at about 4:30, to drop me off and then take the Mrs. to their regular Saturday night dance date.
I decided that sitting around the house was sort of blah, so I relaunched into the city to pick up some dinner and continue to people watch… Interesting night. I got to talking to some folks along the waterfront and I think I may’ve made a new pal or two. Thank goodness for crowded tables… I was sitting solo, and the place was full, so hooray for sharing! We exchanged cards… let’s see if I get a call or not. Heck, I might’ve recruited some folks to help with the org… if not, I had a nice night of pleasant conversation, anyhow.
Rewatching the Incredibles as a screener this morning… the music is really quite good. I didn’t notice that the first time. Also, Frozone wears Hai Karate.
Bro called me from a pay phone this morning… told me he was doing ok, but he sounded a bit stupefied. Apparently he no longer has his cell phone.
1 year ago – Marvel Family, Countdown meme, garden pictures
2 years ago – Free audio books, hubcap monsters, discover empanadas nearby, GIMP

5 years ago – very basic Newt stats
7014 – I feel like being a gold-brickin’ meathead today.
Good Movie torrent site… Where else can you get Eddie Izzard Concerts, Jeremiah Johnson and House of Flying Daggers? Pretty Scotto-liscious.
I forgot how much I liked the character Pete from Brisco County. Quirky. Pam liked him, too.
I’m not sure if the full beard is better or worse than the goat. It’s different, and certainly seasonal. I may just try my hand at having my jaws fuzzed for a few weeks. There’s a bit more salt in with the pepper now.
I wonder what sort of theme music would follow me around? I’d sort of like sitar, but somehow, I suspect that I’d be pigeonholed into some lumbering brass in there. Heaven Help me if I were to get the “Otis” theme from the Superman movies. I like to think that I give off an air of calm, kindness, and intelligence, but I think about how much of the goof would override that?
Just as well that I don’t have my own theme or incidental music.
Man… Dictionaraoke still cracks me up regularly.
Danny wants to go to Otaku-Con in a month.
I’m not too big on most anime, but cons offer me a chance to hit the dealers rooms for Christmas prezzies, a chance to socialize with Dan where he’s very happy, and there’s supposed to be a bunch of cosplayers there…. which just brings out the “Dian Fossey – Research Primatologist” in me. I’m a people-watcher, and the more fringe elements always teach me something new.
I wonder if James / Mark / Renata / Etc. will be attending? I haven’t seem much of that crew in a dog’s age.
1 year ago – bro responsored by viper, GP stuff, palm art
2 years ago – accexpo, gossamer and gollum (later Jinx and Felix), Christmas specials
3 years ago – Cranberry Sauce, walkies, haiku, wacky news
4 years ago – Bob Marley, Roy likes to destroy, danigolden asks if she can add me to her friends list. (I say sure!)

7012 – reminder via gamer’s nook
If folks aren’t aware, you can go to Archive.org and stream or download tens of thousands of shows by artists. There are currently 2,774 Grateful Dead shows, stretching back to 1965, but those are coming down at some point — at least the soundboards are — as the Dead will be releasing the entire archive via iTunes at some point in the not-so-distant future.

7011 – Friday, once more, once more.
“It’s the same story the crow told me, it’s the only one he knows. Like the morning sun you come, and like the wind you go. Ain’t no time to hate; barely time to wait. Whoa-oh! What I want to kno-ow, where does the time go?” -Grateful Dead
Many strangers visiting and mystery old-timers visiting lately. It’s sort of nice to see… Not sure what’s setting it off, but I hope it continues. The artist of the graffiti I posted on my journal actually found the pictures! (His is the blue bit to the left of the tree here, and possibly the rest. compare to his stuff in this entry.) LJ really is a small microcosm, even with 5 million journals out there. I love been so “googleable”.
When I think graffiti, I still think of REI.
My goatee has vanished into a full beard. That may change this weekend.
Urge for walkabout has returned, after revisiting my summer sojourn to Miami. Saturday after coming off of call, I’m going to go picture taking again, if the weather and mood is right.
Music on the mind. I want to hear singing, preferably live, or at least recorded live.
1 year ago – memes, rubber monsters, super heroes, pestered by CS, whistles, newtcam by skylight, mild MD drama
2 years ago – Haiku, Robert Culp, projects, bro lies to me
3 years ago – walking, TG pressures, Astley and his grey market goods, abc meme, morning move poll, misc news
4 years ago – gloating, monkey brains, Alton brown
5 years ago – Newt breaks 2 lbs!

7009 – The average smell weighs 760 nanograms
I’ve been scribbling a lot of abstract doodles lately… fun to do. I miss the coloringbook community in its prime.
In 1787 the Continental Congress of the Confederation commissioned the first penny. Designed by Ben Franklin, the front featured the sun rising over a sun dial. The word “Fugio,” Latin for “I fly,” sat next to the sundial, and the motto underneath, which admonished everyone to “Mind Your Business.”
The Sodium Party (part of this cool website)
Dan’s a fussy ol’ fart, and doesn’t want to see the Spongebob movie with me this weekend. If he can’t get together, I’ll go it alone this weekend, and run the risk of looking like a big stoner. No worries.
Maybe I’ll hit the Broward County Fair this weekend, too.
I wonder how sedef, oneeyed, bq, and sa are doing lately?
‘Vampire’ Killer Found Dead in Jail Cell Continue reading 7009 – The average smell weighs 760 nanograms
7007 – thanks, Sammy!
7005 – I want to float in a boat in a moat. (no goat required)
Penguins have an organ above their eyes that converts seawater into fresh water.
I would like a pajama set done in prison stripes.
If you’re plugged, been slugged, down in the mouth or down in the belly, mad or sad or mean-spirited and dog-kickin’ angry, I got the stuff to make you right!
Random Lynching factoid: When you hang a man, put the knot of the noose behind the man to be hanged’s left ear… better odds of breaking his neck when he’s dropped. Otherwise, he’ll strangle, and probably take his time choking to death, instead.
I wonder if there ever was a James West / Jonah Hex crossover? I bet Hex’d do quite a number on Miguelito Loveless. Maybe toss in Brisco County, the Rifleman, the Barclays and the Cartwrights.
I want some of these for my ceiling. Duck butts. (reminds me of this song, too. 15 meg mov)
Random Scotto Factoid: I was part of a major RSS syndication drama, a few years back.
