8592 – t-minus 16 days.

I’m really glad that it’s October.


I sort of miss the days when 7-11s and grocery stores had comics on spinner racks. I think it’d be pretty keen if they at least carried annuals… did they quit doing so because of the “library factor” of kids coming in and reading and manhandling ’em but not buying, or is it that comics cost a couple of bucks now rather than 35¢?

Somehow, it seems like a comic book shouldn’t cost more than a king-sized candy bar. (Which is what, $1.25ish now, at the convenience store?)

I’ve heard rumors that Giant still carries comics, but Publix & Winn-Dixie surely don’t anymore.

My Lj reading list is suddenly full of women that are pregnant! (well, full in the sense of “four of them”) Congratulations to each and every one of ’em.


Watched Identity last night. Rather a tricky twist in there, but it was pretty interestingly done… I really didn’t see it coming. The journal aspect was pretty interesting.. and I wonder about how different the theatrical release is over the extended version I watched. Intuiting who the killer wasn’t too tough after that specific plot element was revealed, due to a noticeable absence after that point. I’m not too fond of the solution, but that’s just my politics about pleading insanity. Also, I’ve never liked that jiggly-eyed actor.


Matt pointed out to me that Monsters in My Pocket are back! I’ll have to see if any are banging around the local shops. The site’s out of the uk, so I’m not sure how good my odds are – the “Where to buy” section on the website says “coming soon”, but in Australia, it mentions k-mart and toys r us. Sort of like hero/horror clix without the fun bases. (warning, page is slow loading, and has sound)

I rather dig the monkey man (listed under maniacs)


Sounds like bhk and Tina had a great time in Quebec! I’m looking forward to pictures of mounties and beavers and moose and French street signs (“Rue d’ escargot” or whatnot) and the gals just havin’ fun.


I didn’t watch last night’s venture brothers.. I’m going to wait until the 2nd part of the finale airs next week.

8591 – Sunday Morning

Sweetie was digging all kinds of Vermont yesterday – Teddy bear factory, Mount Equinox, *pancakes*, lake champlain, maple everywhere from leaves to syrup! I wish I could be along for the ride, but I’d be a coughy-yucko addition this time, anyhow. We’re making plans to go again over the summer, maybe with Chris, Larry and Tina.


Chest / Nasal congestion was at its worst last night, but as dawn broke, I believe so did the fever. Cough is better and nose isn’t running so much. Slept most of the day away yesterday, and plan on doing the same today, in the hopes that I’ll be good to go back to work on Monday. Making lots of soup and garlic toast to keep fluids up and the more vampiric elements away while I doze on the futon, watching old movies on DVD, and swigging gallons of water.

Best silly domain name found today – http://www.canspidersfart.com/

from yahoo answers, a solution – Most spiders inject a digestive fluid into their prey and as a consequence, consume most of their meals as a liquid diet with little or no solids being ingested.

What very little gas is produced in their digestive tract seems to diffuse out of the alimentary canal without “flatulence.”


Meme – Flickr search for “Halloween” + your birth year. Mine is Halloween 1969, and my favorite is a toss-up between these two:

Halloween 40 halloween crowd on the boston common

8590 – From the porch

Fatima likes the haircut… the response so far has been unanimously positive. Nobody has had anything even remotely negative to say about it.


Felix woos Whoopee – Felix the Cat has fun at a party at the Whoopee Club until the early hours of the morning. At home, his wife paces the floor while carrying a rolling pin. When Felix finally leaves at 3:30 a.m., he is so drunk that he sees the buildings sway with the music, and lamp posts and cars turn into strange creatures. When he gets home, Mrs. Cat has a surprise for him.


My sweetie’s on a road trip with her buddy this weekend… I keep forgetting how small the northeast is compared to Florida… driving from DC to NJ to VT is doable quick as a wink, compared to just going from Miami to Tallahassee. It sounds like they’re having a grand time – I look forward to the pictures they bring back.


I’m impressed at how well the last season of JLU was done… That’s how a show should end… strong and solid, not wheezing out the last dregs of its life. Good job on the Hawkman edge and Legion of Doom stuff.

My favorite elements were Toyman yo-yo vs Killer Frost (or Toyman Nerf vs Parademons, for that matter) , Grodd – “Why speak ill of the dead?” and a use of the New Gods that are actually worth something. (I was never really a fan of that Kirby-crew, despite my fondness for Kirby-tech like Mother Boxes and Boom Tubes)

8588- I Choo choo choose you.

Working the door for the fund raiser tonight – the captains party for the fishing tournament. It should be pretty entertaining.


R.A. Maguire cover art. I can’t get enough of this sort of pulp cover stuff… I may like the model photo shoots more than the covers themselves.


Especially for bhk – Bugs Bunny in Hillbilly Hare (1950)ytmnd -contains just the audio portion of the square dance, or below, for the whole cartoon.


“…Step right up, you’re doin’ fine,
I’ll pull your beard, you pull mine.
Yank it again, like you did before,
Break it up with a tug o’ war.

Now into the brook and fish for the trout,
Dive right in and splash about.
Trout, trout, pretty little trout,
One more splash and come right out…”

That’s for thanksgiving thoughts and good vibes in general.


Recent pictures from out back –

Iguana and Squirrel in a Mexican Standoff.

Newt talks to both of these folks. (though I think he’s more likely to side with the Iguana over the Squirrels.)


Moment of Lyric –

Note to self – doodle a green couch in the woods.


Newton *really* likes the smell of Twizzlers rainbow twists.


All caught up on House, now, psp tv duty is Justice League and Arrested Development. (Thanks, Podtropolis!) – useful for folks with iPods or other portable video gizmos.


If I don’t have your snail-mail address (or, even if you think I do) please email it to me. (to scottobear@gmail.com is fine ) I’m getting warmed up for a snail-mail session.


Film Threat has a 24-minute promo version of the 1997 Justice League of America pilot available for download.


Not too keen on most the recent venture brothers. Scooby parody wasn’t my fave, though Brock’s “tapestry of quiet desperation” was ok, I guess. “We Shut your third GD eye for a reason!”

First Episode of Legion of Super Heroes wasn’t too bad. Not sure how I feel about the “greatest american hero – needs training” superman. I think it’s probably ok as a kid hero thing.

Nice cameo of skeets, Booster gold and a lot of Green Lantern Races at the museum, they did a pretty sharp update.

Contrast that with “Heroes”… my jury’s still out on that one. It has potential, but needs a little more oomph, I think.


The C in CW stands for CBS and the W stands for WB – Columbia Warner? (CBS&WB) – something weird about an abbreviation of 2 abbreviations.

So, is the actor playing Luke leaving Gilmore Girls, or are they just getting really uppity with the writing?


How to crack a walnut with one hand:

  • First, place two hard-shelled walnuts in the palm of your hand.
  • Carefully line up the seams, and wrap your fingers around them.
  • With your hand slightly cupped, get a good grip – One walnut should rested against the base of the thumb, while the other one presses against the curved second and third fingers.
  • Squeeze *HARD* until the weaker one of the two walnuts gives in to the pressure.

That move *really* impresses folks… I once got a “Woo!” from John, the first time I showed it to him.

Good during the winter holidays, when there are walnuts all over the place.


I’m a little envious of folks that are in a place (MD) where they can see their breath… I’ll get to do that this weekend- airports have reduced restrictions on liquids again, which means that I can bring a drink aboard. Non-stop flights this time, so no layovers! Most Excellent!

I’m looking forward to late October walkabouts and after. Basic thoughts include the Keys, Vizcaya, and maybe assorted South Florida locales.


Citgo is owned by Venezuela, eh?

Interesting answers to yesterday’s poll.

There are many different variations of Rock, Paper, Scissors which range from simple changes in the names of the objects to increasing the number of players or objects. While interesting, most rule variations suffer from one problem or another, making them less interesting games.Versions of this game are also observed in many different cultures. It is usually known by direct translations of “Rock, Paper, Scissors”although some cultures have slightly different names or even entirely different elements representing the different objects. For example in Japan there is a variation which uses a tiger, a chief and the chief’smother as the three elements (the tiger beating the chief’s mother, the chief beating the tiger and the chief’s mother beating the chief). In Indonesia another version is played with the elements as an elephant, a man and an ant (the elephant crushing the man, the man crushing the ant and ant humorously defeating the elephant by crawling into the animal’sear and making it go insane).[1] The Chinese, not counting Taiwanese, and Koreans use Cloth along with Rock and Scissors, while the Japanese have adopted Paper. Minor variation is also observed in the standard game play.


iTunes RSS Server is a web server software to read your iTunes Music Library.xml and publish the playlists (including Smart Playlists) as RSS 2.0 Podcast feed. It handles MP3 and AAC files as well as server media files upon byte-range requests.

It allows neat stuff like “listening to your iTunes@home from PSP remotely”.


I wonder how many people would know what an anvil looks like, if there were no warner brothers cartoons?


Cherry, Green Apple and Tangerine flavored candy corn are a crime against humanity. Well, maybe not… but they are just gross to think about.

Nice Job, Mr. Clinton.

This is the first 20 minutes of Bill Clinton’s interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. In this clip, Wallace asks Clinton why he didn’t do more to capture or kill Osama bin Laden while he was in office. Clinton clearly feels like he has been set up and doesn’t hold back in telling Wallace just how he feels.

8571 –

Crashed out hard last night. One minute I was active and wakeful on the phone, the next, ZZZzzZZZ. Pretty solid sleep through the night, with the exception of a mild break (I was maybe only 1/3 awake) to take medicine and put on the CPAP for official sleeps.


Met with Newt’s catsitter this morning – She’s a nice older lady that will be coming up twice a day to say hello, give him some loving, and make sure his food, water and litter are properly tended to while I’m away. She knows not to let Newt out of the house, and that he’s a crafty little guy… I’m glad that I have this alternative, because I really didn’t want to have him boarded somewhere… I know he’s going to be bummed that I’m gone for a bit already. I’ve seen her around the complex before… she feeds the turtles and some of the ibis around the pond out back.

Apparently, there are more than a few kitties in the building, despite official rules ot the contrary. I only knew of 2 others, but I’m thinking that I’ve only scratched the surface.

Random bit – It is said that Mohammad once cut a portion of his cloak away so that he would not disturb a cat sleeping on the remaining cloth.
