scotobear SYNOPSIS

Upstanding, selfless, gentle. To all those girls out there who like nice guys, you’re the perfect man. To everyone else, you’re an amusing dweeb. Therefore, you are probably single.

Let us let you in on a little secret–you might have problems now, but once you get older and girls have grown tired of jerks and gigolos, you’ll be a hot ticket. Take solace in this fact, if you haven’t already found your pink princess. Either way, you need to get more practice in the sack, or your special someone will leave you for the pizza-boy.

You’re a guy who’s not afraid of commitment or self-sacrifice, but don’t let people walk all over you. Hang on to yourself. It’s quite possible you’ll lose your heart to someone more selfish–she’ll take and take and take, and one day you’ll find all that’s left is your skeleton and a few toenails.

Mermaid-Man and Barnacle Boy…. hee hee

Evilevilevil… death ray!

The aquaphone kills me… I want a telephone to chirp like a dolphin. 🙂 Evil is afoot!

Dumb quotes from action movies…

“Some motherDIRTYWORDers are always trying to ice-skate uphill.”
-blade… a movie with no hills or ice-skaters.

“Do you know what happens to a toad when it’s struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else.”
-xmen

That had so much potential… and lamed out at the end. Not in a cool way, either like “Why’d the monkey fall out of the tree? Because it was dead”… just feeble. That dialog is crapulent.

and my all time fave, by sean connery… (not in The Rock as I’d thought earlier… but the even worse Just Cause)

“If that’s a habeas corpus then my ass is a banjo.”

Obtained from Seanbaby… hee hee.. thanks!


Drinking games are the lowest form of social interaction outside of a wedding reception, but just like they did with crappy cartoons and physics lessons, Super Friends make everything better. So I wrote up some rules for the SUPER FRIENDS DRINKING GAME. All of these are open to modification, and you’re encouraged to have another drink whenever the Super Friends inspire you to, even if it’s not in the official rulebook. Here are your guidelines, I hope it finally brings Super Fans and alcoholics together.

Drink every time you hear the words SPACE or SUPER. For example, if Myxpltk says, “I’ll send you super yo-yos into space on this space rocket!” that’s three drinks. And if you’re nitpicky, this is every instance of space and super, so Superman’s name counts, and you drink even if someone’s just talking about regular space and not outer-space. Like, “There’s enough space left in my belt for two more five gallon Bat-jugs, Robin!”

Speaking of Bat, if you hear the word BAT, and it’s followed by a device, vehicle, or action, you drink. Like the Bat-Jetboat, a Bat-Punch, or just a Nuclear Bat-Laser.

Note: Batman’s in almost every episode, but if he isn’t, you still have to make your liver work. No Batman means you drink every time you hear the words MAGIC LASSO, VISION (x-ray, telescopic, heat, infra red, or any other kind), or TELEPATHY (no matter how Aquaman conjugates it). It’s hard for the Super Friends to even walk down the hall without at least the narrator shouting out most of those words. In fact, drink to all four words. If Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Batman are all in the episode, tough it out.

Drink any time a Super Friend speaks the wrong language. This counts if they slip into their native tongue because of excitement, or if they just need to do it to get their powers to work like Apache Chief and Samurai. Good luck staying out of the hospital if you’re watching an episode with El Dorado in it.

Take a drink whenever someone lets out an exclamation catchphrase. Those usually start with “Great…” like “Great Krypton!” or “Great Hera!” The Wonder Twins say “JUPITERS!”, and Robin will say “Holy you’re friggin’ wasted! Time to take another one!” Whatever they say, though; their excitement means your toxicity level rises.

Drink whenever someone’s GOT TO do something. Villains will say that they MUST do something, and you drink then too. Whoever’s saying it though, your drinking should turn into chugging if they’ve GOT TO do something AND FAST.

If the Super Friends ONLY HAVE ONE CHANCE at something or have to do something JUST RIGHT, that’s a drink. And before you do it, you should say, “ONLY TIME FOR ONE DRINK!”

After you play this long enough, you can’t pay close enough attention to notice when someone says SPACE or BAT, so you have to modify the rules. For the big finish of the game, drink whenever there’s a shooting star scene transition, and whenever the Wonder Twins activate or deactivate their Wonder Twin Powers.

RECAP:

Basics:

1. “Space”
2. “Super”
3. “Bat-Something”, “Vision,” “Telepathy,” and “Magic Lasso.”
4. “Great Something!”
5. Foreign Language
6. “I’VE GOT TO…”
7. Just one chance!

Secondary:

1. Wonder Twins Activate/Deactivate
2. Star scene transitions

Bonus:

1. Person on the Trouble Alert has a hat.
2. Narrator. CHUG if he says space.

this is among the most distressing things that i have found on the web. check it out, think about it and then hit your ‘refresh’ or ‘reload’ button

metaspy

wanna see what people are searching for? this displays 12 random search topics submitted by real people and it refreshes every ten seconds or so. in addition to the bizarre things that people are looking for, the spelling is hilarious. better than tv.

anywho

reverse telephone lookup, search by name, state address etc. you can even look at a map of where anyone that you find lives. did you know that there are two listings for a person named ‘hugh g. rection’? Evil fodder for stalkers.

Will wonders never cease?

Heard from Brian on Friday, just poking his nose out to say hello, apparently. 🙂 Nice to hear from him, I figured I’d not hear from him again after Heather had her last snit with me back in October… she was being a little piss-pot, so I performed some friendship triage. Dropped her from my list, never to heard from her again, and assumed that by extension, he was out of the picture too. She’s no real loss in my mind… Really the first time I’d thought of either of them in quite a little bit. Anyone I’ve had in common with her either doesn’t talk to them anymore, or I don’t hear from.

just a footnote.

today.

Mixed bag of results.

Got together with Cathi & Dave and went ot the Folk music festival the early part of the day today.

Cost a bit much, but it was nice to get out with them… hadn’t seen them since before Christmas…

The music was pretty good, but I’d have preferred lounging with my love, watching spongebob. Ah well.

Went to borders, and the cool used bookstore… neither of them had the Heidigger book, but I got some other shopping done at the japanese market, and considered catching a movie, but decided instead to head home and see if I could give some good lovin’ to them that I do, and launch some resumes to the wind. Fired off a few, and am petting the Newt now. No sign of Ornj… hope she’s doing well, wherever she may be. Speaking of which, I got some treats for VAGG.. I hope to see how large a group I’m dealing with, soon… be interesting to see who-all is in on it.

Welcome to my wall scrawls.
