7945 – “To Jack Dillinger and hope he is still alive. Thanksgiving Day November 28th 1986”

Geotargethttp://scottobear.com/lj/archives/112703/hand-turkey.gif
Doing better this Thanksgiving over last year.

Bro’s not in jail, just the hospital, so he’s doing better, too.Maybe he can get some sort of useful rehab?

Getting together with Momster and Wilt for a midday TG buffet. Good deal. She doesn’t cook, and I don’t have to do dishes.

Random Scotto Factoid: I left home during Thanksgiving when I was 17. Weird to think that was over half my life ago.

If my father had lived, Saturday would’ve been his 60th birthday.

Happy Thanksgiving, Burroughs style: mp3

GeotargetTalked to bro in the hospital, and his story is that he was horsing around on a bike, and managed to hork himself but good on the handlebars… he’s been in the hospital for the last 3 days, and may be released today or tomorrow. He’s going to talk to a psych today about getting some help too.. he didn’t ‘fess up about being with his old crew, but did admit that every time he goes to Hollywood, he gets hurt.

I wonder if he got beaten up? The story has varied a few times during the course of the convo.

GeotargetPost six weird and random facts about yourself, then at the end, list the names of five other people who are next in line to do this.

   1. I very nearly became a professional clown, and actually got a scholarship to clown college back in the day. I opted out because I figured I’d make more money doing less physical labor in the computer field, and sometimes wish that I had run off to the circus, especially with Paige and Michelle. I wonder what P & M are up to these days? Classmated.com had Paige with a fresh last name. I still find many clown-girls mega-hot. See jenlux as an example of a gorgeous clown-gal.

( and ) I mean really. What’s not to like?

   2. My will is amazingly variable in strength… I’d make a lousy Green Lantern. On some things I’m steadfast and on others, I bend like a reed in the wind.

   3. I notice the shapes of my food, and I seem to prefer stuff that is round over things that are square. all things being equal, I prefer cylindrical or semi-circle ice to cubes. I like round pies more than square cakes. (brownies may have cookies beat.) I like sammiches more on a hoagie roll rather than on slices of bread. goldfish crackers and pretzels beat triangle and square shaped chips, generally. Baked potato is preferable to french fries. Also, curly fries beat straights.

   4. My favorite simple machine is the lever. Also, the word fulcrum makes me laugh.

   5. I’ve been given free lap dances because the strip club was cold, and I looked nice and warm. More than once, and with more than one dancer, and more than one club. Ah, the good old days of my misspent youth. I am still warm, and have a comfortable lap.

   6.  my top 10 mythical creatures of the moment –

  • Helpful shoemaker elves.
  • Giant Alligators in Sewers
  • Animated Scarecrows, especially those with pumpkin-heads.
  • Phantoms that give a useful message.
  • Werecritters (especially those that aren’t wolves… like “Were-swarm of butterflies”)
  • Chupacabras
  • Zombies (and subset – Mummies)
  • The Boogie man.
  • Nessie & other lake dinosaurs
  • Yeti (and subset Sasquatch/Skunk ape)

I’m not tagging anyone, but I’d like to see the meme fly.

GeotargetI’d like a comfy linen/cotton blend suit, and a snappy gray fedora. Not sure where that urge for a summer suit in November came from.


I can’t watch TV shows that place in hospitals, at least not around the anniversary of my father’s death or his birthday. I had an extended crying jag last night when I remembered that his birthday is coming up in about 2 weeks. First time I’ve really cried for quite a while. Ultimately cleansing, but think I hurt my side a little bit as a result. Newt was a great comfort to me.

I miss my dad. I miss the way my brother was when he was 12. I think that I get along with my mother better these days than I ever had as a kid.


The office has decided not to pay salaried folks for time away from work due to Hurricane Wilma… I’m going to point them to Hurricane Wilma Disaster Unemployment Assistance. To determine eligibility for Wilma DUA (or standard unemployment benefits), start by contacting the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation (Florida unemployment office) or filing an unemployment claim through same by 11/28/2005. For information about other types of Hurricane Wilma disaster assistance, browse the FEMA and FDEM sites.

I’m safe… I worked every day save for 2, and those two days I gave training and tech walk-through to our rep in Texas. I think that everyone else save for ECN and myself will end up getting docked a little more than week’s pay. (I wonder if the Big Kahuna will cut herself, too?)

Heck, I know I’d check it out, but I’m a little off that way. It’s got to be better than Bibleman.


“Strange but true”-sounding lie of the day: In 103 AD, the Roman emperor Clavicus had a temple built to worship his favorite type of pastry.


Why didn’t *anyone* tell me that the Doom Patrol showed up this season on the Teen Titans? (Plus, they’re fighting the Brotherhood of Evil!) That was my big hope once I’d heard that the cartoon was launched! Once again, I thank bittorrent for speedy access to TV I’ve missed.

GeotargetWent to the poorhouse with Liz, had a Guinness and a Strongbow for “dessert”. Good stuff. We chit-chatted about clowns, strippers, co-workers, people watching and events seen in a parking garage.

7902 – birthdate meme

snagged from christin, who snagged it from ana:

Your Birthdate: February 2

You’re so intuitive, it’s like you have a sixth, seventh, and eighth sense.
You connect with others freely and easily – and you tend to have many best friends.
Warm and caring, it’s hard for you to close your heart to anyone.
Affection is like air for you – you need to give and receive it to survive.

Your strength: Your universal compassion

Your weakness: Your unpredictable mood swings

Your power color: Mauve

Your power symbol: Butterfly

Your power month: February


Mood swings? varies. Compassion? I can have a very hard heart at times, depending on the situation. I am fond of affection, and am fairly intuitive. I don’t have many best friends, but am a friendly guy.

John Lithgow’s new Campbell’s Soups commercials are sort of sad.


Apartment got pretty heated again last night… nearly impossible to get any rest… Newt’s in great shape, but I was sweating far too much. Not enough voltage to run a tiny box fan.I’m really happy that this didn’t happen in July, or it would be a health hazard. Cool Showers work wonders.


Random Memory… whenever a propeller plane would fly overhead, my buddy Jason and I would yell “STUKA!!” and run for cover, as if it might go after us on a strafing run. I was 7 years old, and I think it was a side effect of my pop’s fondness for WWII documentaries that inspired the game. It seems sort of weird, looking at it under current context…. 40 years from now, will I see kids play-acting at the trade-center bombing, or other major world event, or will most of my life history fade into a blur? I’m not sure what defines my generation… Movies? Star wars and Star Trek got milked to the point of making them weak jokes. Harry Potter, maybe? Somehow, I suspect those books won’t be so much in vogue down the line… but the old standards of playing war have a strong vibe. I doubt kids’ll play “Iraq war” any more than I played “Vietnam” or “Korea”. WWII and to a lesser degree, WWI both have something very powerful going for them that isn’t easy to replicate. Other history-genres that seem timeless are Dinosaurs, Pirates, Knights and the Wild West… Cyberpunk and even pulp seem to be little subsets that’ll probably never get rolling again.

qawsqas < -newt on keyboard. His way of saying good morning, natch. Great news about Herm! Mending well... I'd been quite concerened. I hear 2L is super laggy these days, not that I'd be contributing to said lag... mr lappie isn't up to the demands that place makes on a machine.


Went to update the wardrobe a bit, and was out of luck… the place had flood damage and was closed.
