7721 – House check day!

Well second life is fun, but I guess it doesn’t support dial-up users so much. Still free to join, though for any high-speeders out there. Look up Scottobear Bergson if you’re out and about!


Checking out the Deerfield place today after work. I’m pretty enthused… as long as the walls don’t drip blood, I’m probably in.

Pass it on!!! Fake Red Cross Solicitations!
ABC news just ran a story that spoof email solicitations for donations to the Red Cross are being emailed to people all over the world. They look just like the Red Cross, right down the to secure site verify logo. If you fill your personal info into the form, which was ripped from the genuine Red Cross site, and then click on the donate button, you’ve been had; the bad guys have your credit card information. To make it worse, victims are then forwarded to the real Red Cross site, which makes it look even more genuine.

The bottom line? The Red Cross has stated categorically that they NEVER send email solicitations. Never! If you get something like described above, delete it. You may want to forward it first to the FTC’s spoof address [UCE@ftc.gov]. If the crooks are in the U.S. they can be prosecuted, and others turned into the authorities in their respective governments. Thus far spoofs have been traced to third parties in Brazil, Korea, China, and the US. Note: If you forward the emails to the authorities, please copy the addressing information (found in the Message Options in Outlook…click on View, then Message Options, then copy and paste the Internet Headers area).

Please take a moment to pass this on to people in your flist! Thanks!


You may have time to download ’em all before Halloween. I suppose I should switch to the October website colors and background soon.

The Voice of Vince – Selected OTR shows starring Vincent Price (Including classic episodes of Suspense!). There is a boatload of ’em. (Presented by The Crime in your Coffee [Not work safe])


Moment of Lyric (mp3via)

Dedicated to all the teachers that read my journal… Danny, Firpo, Kerby, The Turtle Whisperer, Pilar, Huertero, and the rest. Careful of the Johnny’s out there!

No time to transcribe, but suffice to say that Jordan’s precocious and swingin’ ode to apple-polishing one ups Van Halen in every way. “Can you take what I can shake”? Indeed!


1 year ago – Work power out, disco-hitler, Ivan, WoW, Chocolate 3-d printer, making fiends, America’s army, Giant strip-miner of dooom,

2 years ago – Meredith moves out, Frankie mooch’s wank machine, saw Ray-I, Dubai-mail, some cool links

3 years ago – Got dave into mage knight, Saw Mark Archilla, 12 dragons smells of cat pee, I got some perfect pre-dyed sheets.

5 years ago – rant and UB-X

7639 – Thank you, Lisa2!! (Electric Boogaloo)

Lisa2, (or Weez & Sedef) sent me a lovely strawberry shortcake glitter night light (red, of course, with strawberry shaped foil bits to spin around). It’s awesome, and matches my blue glitter lava lamp perfectly. Hmm, I guess in proper sense, it would be 2(Lisa)?

It totally made my day, and I was needing a pick-me-up! In the dark, it sends off a very warm glow, compared to the cool light of the blue, too.

Thank you so much!! (Pink in honor of you both, and Strawberry Shortcake.)

I still think Holly Hobbie could totally take Miss Shortcake in a fight, but SS does have a nice scent about her.


2784 is my new score at that rotating snake game thingum. I may steal it to host in the toybox.

7525 – Sun-de-dun-dun-day

Yesterday was headache-y, but ok. Mp, Newt and I just sort of flopped around and slept off and on. There’s something to be said about curling up in a little knot and just sleeping the day away inside while the rain pounds outdoors.


Lapjuicer – “The Lapjuicer is intended to be used by a lap-dancer in a club. The performer uses their body with the object, in order to extract fruit juices that can be drunk by one or more spectators.”

Good Grief. Who comes up with these things?!? probably not safe for work.


Gerald McBoing Boing tells the story of a small boy who when he first tries to talk can only utter sound effects like ‘Boing! Boing! His parents are shocked and call in a doctor who says he has no cure for the noises.

Great classic cartoon.. I had the storybook when I was but a tiny little Scotto.

Land of the Dead – Loot & Shoot game


Thor rolls a joint.


Yet a third “oops I did it again” – Louis Armstrong (website with download)

I still prefer this classic version. (mp3)

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.


Assorted fun flash games


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!)

6917 – it's 10-4, good buddy.

Keeping a positive mindset, and hoping for more good news to roll my way. Keeping my spirits high and optimism up. I’ve noticed a drop in my appetite lately… I wonder what’s causing that? Usually, I start to get munchier this time of year.Site Meter


The Eldar are a real thorn in my side. Gimme Orks any day. I’m up to mission #7, thus far. (Staying true to my 1 mission a day… it’s tempting to blow the whole day playing it.)


I want some fresh sweet corn with my meal tonight… I wonder if it’s in season?


Meeting with the women in technology board this afternoon. I hope it’s quick and painless… this week’s going to be busy… Cocktail Party on Wednesday, Kiwanis presentation Thursday. I’ll be happy when this week is over, and it’s hardly begun.


Hooray for No Hurricane this past weekend!

The things you draw when you’re waiting for the dryer to finish. Very loosely based on a little kid in the ‘mat.


1 year ago – famous funerals, locusts good to eat – pelicans bad, Tickle me Elmo fur coat, mind flayers

2 years ago – Bad dog dreams, 2250 on vanity search (now about 12,000), shoes

3 years ago – magic toenails, submarines, posting politeness, big brain fixmeup, lovely chat about goetta, eyes

4 years ago – Naughty Newt, Tight funds, DT rumor almost gets started again, Newt’s b-day minus 1.

6915 – Linkies, linkies, who's got the linkies?

I was right, took me about three hours, and I got a nice bonus check and an Italian lunch out afterwards.

The gang will be happy with the new machines… flat screens, better boxes, and cordless keyboard/mice for some. HP is really quite good about granted equipment, if you’re willing to dance around the paperwork.


Treadmill for FPS games… about time!


Sam & Max team started a new studio! It may not be dead, after all! Telltale Games

Would someone like to buy me a 10 million-dollar zeppelin for Christmas?

1 year ago – Prop2 gets nuked, poop in the pool, decade old posts by Scotto to Usenet, Hala attacked by the carnivator, I find out that I need surgery, chimp & the woman

2 years ago – net’s a little poopy, Finn drama at work (after the letter campaign)

3 years ago – clerisy, broken door, bad day, Ripple,

4 years ago – rainy day, poi dog, I first learn to do online carts, x degrees of sep

6910 – Thor’s Day

Training went well.. a good number of concerned parents showed up, and everything rolled smoothly. Big Kahuna was a surprise visitor… must’ve come right over after getting off of the plane. The School staff was wonderfully courteous and very helpful… the media center brought back many memories as a page, cataloger and bookstore employee. I always did like the kid’s books the most.


Tech trouble seems to be simmered down now. Hopefully it’ll stay that way.


I’ve been getting into the habit of picking up a little dinner once a week or so on the way home from work at this little carribean diner over by the bus stop. I’ve become rather well-liked there, because I appreciate good food, and take a moment to talk to the folks during the slow times. Lots of Veggie, even Vegan options to eat, which surprised me, and is what keeps me coming back. Good food, lots of it, inexpensive and a friendly atmosphere. What’s not to like? There are advantages to not looking like a suit… I think folks there are a lot more comfortable talking with a “clean cut” hippie-type guy, at least at first. They make a Veggie-mango stir-fry sort of thing that is awesome, and the plantains are decadent.

Found these veggie recipies to try when Auntie’s isn’t open

6906 – Turn Lemons into lemonade.

Well, bro bailed on his birthday bash a full 5 minutes before he was going to be picked up. That’s got to be some kind of record. I’m thinking that odds favor the theory that he got a better offer and wasn’t even calling from home. The “I’m going to lay down, and sleep… I probably won’t hear if Mom knocks on the door” line is what makes me think so.

So, instead of getting together with the family, I was suddenly free. What to do?

Simple answer? Make beefaroni! (vegetarian style, natch)

I had macaroni, veggie burger crumbles, and some awesome oniony-garlic tomato sauce… works for me!

I’ve never mentioned things that my mother was good at preparing for dinner…. beefaroni reminds me of her stuffed peppers, which was probably her specialty. I should try to reproduce that sometime.


Went through, and flushed out some old games that were taking up HD space. (I can always reinstall if the urge returns) – I’m getting the itch to put on a few fat new games. (Sims 2, Doom 3, Battlefront, and that tasty looking Warhammer Dawn of War game. Orks in Goggles!– related:Translate English to Ork )

Bye bye for now to –

  • Grand Theft Auto – Vice City (That’ll come back, as soon as I get the itch to bash someone’s skull in with a bat)
  • Final Fantasy XI – 5+ GIG??!
  • Call of Duty
  • The Hulk
  • There Beta (I kept the “real” version)
  • America’s Army (2-some gig right there)
  • Warcraft III (and Frozen Throne)
  • Simpsons Hit & Run
  • Tron 2.0
  • Army Men (How long was that rattling around in there?)

That, and killing some old movies freed up about 23 gig. Amazing. (About of 53 gig free on the drive, now)

A nice defrag after, and Big Brain should spin like a top, now.

While Big Brain got his head together, I took a little walk to the local zebbin-lebbin, and got a nice diet -pepsi slushie for dessert.

walkies walkies
out and about on bro’s b’day – may as well do something! nice to look at the bright lights and take in the night air.
zebbin-lebbin zebbin-lebbin
Home of the uber-slushie… better for me than ice cream, more flavorful than celery.

Tonight is the full moon…. and I smile every time I see the halo surrounding her.


Yesterday’s Worth1000 photoshopping challenge is to create the ruins of cities that are still standing. Some tasty post-apocalyptic visions here
