It occurred to me this weekend that the term prophet sounds holy to me, but the term prophecy comes across as sinister, or fake.

Moment of lyric - mp3 (thank you, Firpo!)

{lyrics in braces need confirmation, due to the earliness of the hour and my poor sense of hearing}

Listen to me you explorers, Buck and Admiral Byrd,
Here's a funny one you've never heard
there's a fellow in the jungle
one you never knew
you won't get him, but he might get you

Who's the talk at every table from Chicago to Madrid?
Who's the African Clark Gable?
Jojo, the Cannibal kid!

All the tribes eat fruits and berries
He's the one that never did
He Prefers his missionaries
Jojo, the cannibal kid

He could aways pass on his manner and his savoir faire
Mix with every class - eat the finest people everywhere!

Circus sends him offers daily
{Bertram mills made him a bid}
but he's holding out for Barnum Bailey,
Jojo the cannibal kid

Mmmmyeow...
Don't you know? He eats them alive...
{gets the ??????}
eating out, from nine to five.

boom jigga boom jigga boom jigga boom boom
That is the Jojo way
boom jigga boom jigga boom jigga boom boom
that means he's on the {train}

{Everybody run and get in the car, pull all the windows down
everybody find a safe place to closet}
Jojo is now in town

Who's the talk at every table from chicago to madrid?
Who's the African Clark Gable?
Jojo, the Cannibal kid!

All the tribes eat fruits and berries
He's the one that never did
He Prefers his missionaries
Jojo, the cannibal kid

He could aways pass on his manner and his savoir faire
Mix with every class - eat the finest people everywhere!

Circus sends him offers daily
{Bertram mills made him a bid}
but he's holding out for Barnum Bailey,
Jojo the cannibal kid!

(I suspect that I'm the only person with the lyrics to this song hosted on the 'net. )

I'm not crazy about the new $10 bill. I did learn the meaning of the word obverse, though.

Sunday walkabout pics - Didn't go hog wild on Sunday - put in about five walking miles, give or take.


two ducks that live in the pond with the koi and the turtles.


soft shell turtle in the lake out back. he's got a super-long neck.


two guys in fan-driven flying parachutes along deerfield beach. That looks like a ton of fun.


Another shot of a flying parachute. Looks safer than an ultralight.

My time coming, any day, don’t worry about me, no
Been so long I felt this way, I’m in no hurry, no
Rainbows and down that highway where ocean breezes blow
My time coming, voices saying they tell me where to go.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Funny... I wouldn't have thought you the type to quote GD lyrics! :D

My time coming, anyday, don't worry bout me, no
It's gonna be just like they say, them voices tell me so
Seems so long I felt this way and time sure passin slow
My time coming, anyday, don't worry about me, no

Don't worry about me...

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

EXCUSE ME!? Some major events in my life have a GD soundtrack! Unbroken Chain is still my blue funk song.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I stand corrected!

Sugar Magnolia os one of my fave lovey songs, too.

I stand when the judge walks in the room.

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

hee Sugar Magnolia hmmm you seemed much more the Friend of the Devil type *evil grin*

Re: I stand when the judge walks in the room.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

ha! no, not me... I'm a mone girl at a time sort of guy.

Re: I stand when the judge walks in the room.

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Well I was thinking more in the luck sense...yeah one girl at a time---but how many iguana's hearts have you broken hmmm mister?

Re: I stand when the judge walks in the room.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

well....

You can borrow from the devil
You can borrow from a friend
The devil'll loan ya twenty
But your friend got only ten

Re: I stand when the judge walks in the room.

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

Me I've always been partail to "Uncle John's Band"

Re: I stand when the judge walks in the room.

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

I sound like a dork when I sing that. Actually....I sound like a dork when I sing anything HAHAHAHA

Re: I stand when the judge walks in the room.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

That's a fine song, too!

[legal-beagle555.livejournal.com]

I kind of like the new bill- esp. the "we the people" bit, and liberty's torch.

I hate Canada's currency. The 5$ bill has kids playing hockey on the non-face side! And yet Canadians get all huffy when Americans sterotype us as hockey playin' beer drinkers from birth *rolls eyes*

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

you all do have pet beavers though... right?

[legal-beagle555.livejournal.com]

Har HAR ;-).

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I think it'd be cool to have a pet you could go swimming with!

[mental-circles.livejournal.com]

I could loan you my dog. Nothin funnier in the world than watching a boxer swim, slow but steady like a tugboat, as his bottom sinks like a rock :D.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

aw! that sounds adorable!

Newton-cat has very little interest in swimming.

[mental-circles.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is pretty cute. It's the only activity that actually wears him out for the rest of the day! My cat is not a big fan of water either.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

The closest Newton comes is to sit on the edge of the tub while I'm having a soak.

[mental-circles.livejournal.com]

My girl won't come near the tub, until the water is turned off and you've left the room. The lil weirdo drinks the water off the tub surface :P.

[ex-brokensou724.livejournal.com]

Dude where do you go to get such cool pics of critters like turtles, and iguanas and stuff?? :D

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

They all live in my back yard. :)

If I were lazy, I could get pictures from my porch... Newt loves looking at the backyard zoo!

[ex-brokensou724.livejournal.com]

you have lizards and turtles and bears in your BACKYARD?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

well, I'm the only bear nearby, but all those crazy reptiles and birds are out back!

[ex-brokensou724.livejournal.com]

are they yours??

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

they're natures... they just live out by the pond. :)

[ex-brokensou724.livejournal.com]

Is it a florida thing? hahah you live on a big lot? or is it like your building backs like a reserve of sorts

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

We have a smallish courtyard with a lake and fountains in it, surrounded by trees. The critters liked it, and moved right in. :)

It's sort of a reserve, because hunting / fishing / trapping is forbidden on the grounds, so they can roam around happily.

Welcome to Scotto's Vocabulary Corner

[missv.livejournal.com]

Obverse! Hey, that's a word I didn't know either.

I also didn't realize that Congress had attempted to replace the venerable Alexander Hamilton with Ronnie Reagan. Ye gods! The author of the Federalist Papers...or the star of "Bedtime for Bonzo"....gee, which guy should we put on our currency??

Re: Welcome to Scotto's Vocabulary Corner

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Win one for the gipper, or some guy that Aaron Burr killed in a duel?

Re: Welcome to Scotto's Vocabulary Corner

[missv.livejournal.com]

Dueling is cool. We need to re-institute that tradition. I'm in the mood to throw down the gauntlet on a few folks. Although I've never handled a sword or a firearm. You think I could choose wrist-rockets at dawn??

Re: Welcome to Scotto's Vocabulary Corner

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Well, I'd like to challenge a few folks to bare-knuckles / barfight dueling. "Not to the death, just to the KO" oh, wait.. challenger pick the weapons, right?

why not a wrist rocket?

Re: Welcome to Scotto's Vocabulary Corner

[missv.livejournal.com]

It's either that or a squirt gun. And a Super Soaker's not gonna kill you unless you get wet and catch a chill that later turns into pneumonia.

Re: Welcome to Scotto's Vocabulary Corner

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I want a squirt gun that can fire maple syrup effectively with out clogging.

Re: Welcome to Scotto's Vocabulary Corner

[missv.livejournal.com]

Just get one of those plastic Aunt Jemima bottles, open the top, aim, give it a good squeeze, and Presto! maple-flavored mayhem.

Works well with squeezable mustard too. And that stuff is murder to wash out...

Re: Welcome to Scotto's Vocabulary Corner

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

added bonus with yellow mustard - even once it's "out", remnants will glow under black light (like at a dance club) ages later.

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

That site with the old covers is neat. Bookpeople sells postcards that are repo's of that type of 50's era sleezy novel cover.
I have to admit to kinda digging that art, most pulpy art really.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I've got a soft spot for the hand-painted pulpy covers too.

[kat78731.livejournal.com]

Interesting - 5% of being an idiot is talking during movies.

[(Anonymous)]

Aha!

"hey? who's that guy? Why's he got a gun?"

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

idiocy... or EVIL?

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

I just checked on Newtcam to do my daily clicks and I saw the boy entwined in the blinds--it gave me a little thrill--what a cute boy.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I'm glad he's showing off for you!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Now he's walking in front of the blinds and its dark and he's just waaaaiting for his daddy to come home---and when his daddy does come home he will give him a big kiss on the whiskers for me. Please.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

color him whisker-smooched! do the same to pye! :D

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

I will--poor Pye is at home alone, a law school latch key kitty. We are having a god awful thunder, wind and lightning thing and I'm hoping he's fast asleep and not afraid. Thanks for letting Newt be my surrogate kitty this afternoon. Kisses on both your whiskers!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Newt is happy to be Pye-filler! :D
