7945 - "To Jack Dillinger and hope he is still alive. Thanksgiving Day November 28th 1986"

[scottobear]

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

Thanks for the wild turkey and the passenger pigeons, destined to be shit out through wholesome American guts.

Thanks for a continent to despoil and poison.

Thanks for Indians to provide a modicum of challenge and danger.

Thanks for vast herds of bison to kill and skin leaving the carcasses to rot.

Thanks for bounties on wolves and coyotes.

Thanks for the American dream, To vulgarize and to falsify until the bare lies shine through.

Thanks for the KKK.

For nigger-killin' lawmen, feelin' their notches.

For decent church-goin' women, with their mean, pinched, bitter, evil faces.

Thanks for "Kill a Queer for Christ" stickers.

Thanks for laboratory AIDS.

Thanks for Prohibition and the war against drugs.

Thanks for a country where nobody's allowed to mind his own business.

Thanks for a nation of finks.

Yes, thanks for all the memories-- all right let's see your arms!

You always were a headache and you always were a bore.

Thanks for the last and greatest betrayal of the last and greatest of human dreams.

Weirdest recurring theme with yesterday's quiz/meme. Answers to question #2. Everyone replying would let me hug 'em, but 4 different people (behind masked comments) stated that they'd prefer if I didn't hug 'em while on the potty. Not a huge concern, really.

The above sentence sung in "ransom mode".

Herm got snowflakes yesterday! Lucky lady! I hope to do some hanging back in 2nd life soon.

I'm Thankful for this Arnold Schwarzenegger commercial from Japan. It's advertising a drink called "Bwain".

Happy Happy Thanksgiving! Are you sure the product Arnols id shilling is called "Bwain," or is that just how he pronounces it? :) Being hugged on the potty never occurred to me. Hmmmm.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Happy Mashed tater Day!!

I'm just going by what the person who sent me the video called it..


No potty hugs to worry about! plenty of better times!

[weezeroni.livejournal.com]

I am making mashed taters later! I was teasing about Ahhhnold!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Who knew that Ahhhnold lived in an asian girl's head as a carbonated genie?

Have a bite of taters for me! :D *huggo*

[weezeroni.livejournal.com]

Big hugs to you, and enjoy your day with mom. And Newtie Pie!

The next book Gaiman writes is going to be about a man who reconnects a tribe of Native American through the use of a Livejournal :D

I'm putting the Anansi Boys on my reading list.

By the way I feel like a heel for not explicitly saying I'd be comfortable with you hugging me--I'm sorry.

Happy Spanksgiving!!! (Pye is already eating his fresh catnip appetizer)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Oh, please! I know you're a good egg, because you'd take good care of Mr. Newt! No heel, you!

The nice thing about that site is that you can download the books right to the palm, or computer. :D

Happy Mashed Tater Day! I hope you and Pye have a great one!

[oneeyedcat.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear your bro is in the hospital. I hope he is doing better.

Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope you have a wonderful day!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

with any luck, he'll be out for lunch!

Have a wonderful day, too! *big huggos*

[ex-brokensou724.livejournal.com]

Oo what do you think of Anansi Boys ? I love neil gaiman .... does this compair to Good Omens?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

It's pretty good... a different vibe than good omens, because there's no pratchett influence.

my dad's 60th was yesterday. It's weird. a lot of people's dads' 60th birthdays seem to be at the momoent. That sentence makes no sense, and I am aware of it! But at least one other person on here's dad is celebrating their 60th.

We're hoping for snow here soon... but not holding our breath. For some reason this particular part of the UK never gets any real weather. Everywhere else gets snow, we get sleet and hail! But hey ho... I will post a lot of pictures if we have any!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

That is weird! I follow what you're saying.

I look forward to seeing any and all pictures you post! :D
