A bit of morning Newt for my pleasure. :)


Black Spot Campaign - the latest Adbusters Campaign. (Via mskaren911)

Because my country has sold its soul to corporate power,
Because consumerism has become our national religion,
Because we've forgotten the true meaning of freedom,
And because patriotism now means agreeing with the president,
I pledge to do my duty . . . and take my country back.

also, the awesome signmaker

The hook on my telephone seems to have a loose wire in it.. I need to smack the phone against the palm of my hand a time or two to answer the phone.

Random Scotto factoid - I've spelled my name as Skot, Xkot, and Lars, just to see where the junk mail comes from.

Random Newton factoid - He takes more pleasure in being fed by hand than the types of treats I give him. If I see him begging for whiska lickin's, I can grab a mitt's worth of kibble from his dish and he'll eat it happily as if it were a soft treat.

A year ago - Doug and Cathy, animal babies, Gaming. (wow... must be something about this week for reflection), Barbie, SQL for rgladiator, a kiss goodnight, forgotten silver balls.

two years ago - Reminder that tomorrow is Kev's Sister's B'day, 7 things meme (I wonder how many of those have changed?), missile silo home, how to be a super hero, superpower origin poll, enchiladas of doom

three years ago - not a thing, but I know rough waters are ahead.

Man of Iron-isms

Danny sent me a set of Game notes from June of 1995. (With a few revisions for 1997) Where he played a Science Nerd that Changed into a powerhouse that had powers based on Magnetism. Other people of the same team was my Character, miniMAX (A shrinker/grower gadgeteer... sort of Henry Pym with weirdness magnet, a goofy streak, and an intelligent shrunken chimp sidekick), Ghost (Kathleen's Character with variable Desol / Invisibility & acrobatics), The Aquarian (Doug's Mystic Master), Mystery (Cathy's Amnesiac bot-character), and Silver Hammer (Tony's Flying energy-projector...I remember he had a low Ego & Pre... made for an easily spooked super guy.. looked like the silver surfer in black bicycle pants, usually running away.) The Head of our Team was Agent 13 of "The Agency". Sort of a cross between Nick Fury and Susan Powter (with the buzz-cut.. wow, I guess she phased that look totally out, and got breast implants & a nose ring... Powter, not Agent 13).

( Some of his quotables... (Some are better than others, many are downright cringeworthy-bad, and proper emphasis is important. Remember it is a comic book world) )

As a side note, minimax was revived briefly, with a slightly altered history in 1999/2000 for a play by mail game, and just wasn't the same without the Fine Ferrous Fellow alongside.

Had a long and unexpected phone conversation with Doug... just chewed the fat for a few hours. I fear for both of our phone bills come next month. Strange week for old-school reminiscing and pleasant conversation. Would that there were more of them.

Yahoo weirdness tonight.. not sure what happened with that.
