scottobearLast night was one of pleasant conversation. I was hardly on the web at all
Tomi called me from Finland on skype... it works surprisingly well. Sound was really clean, and it was nice catching up with him, though it was weird, given that he was about 8 hours ahead of me.
Topics: Good ol' Days, Traveling to the Arctic Circle to see buddies, "the 'Vette", Kitties, Cigarettes & Cap'n Kangaroo and Kev re:Gitmo
Had another delightful million-year gab with Tina, too. She's certainly got a gift for gab. I hope that she's feeling better today... when she first called, she sounded like a 12 year old with vapor lock, but eventually, the bulk of her nasal-yuck cleared out, and the lungs sounded more loose and open.
Topics: Too Numerous to count (I think I may've found someone that can topic-jump more rapidly than I can) But included family, social Darwinism / social quirks, critters (cats, dogs and boars), economy, books primarily popcorn books), tasty food including an eggs and cheese ditty, not-so-tasty food, some very refreshing honesty, and an exceptionally foul-mouthed nun.
Speaking of Foul-mouthed: Listened to a Redd Foxx album recently, and man... I don't mind blue comedians, but he was just awful. A bunch of weak one-liners. No craft to his work at all. At least Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor build a story that has some profanity - not just a quick "zinger" with a rude ending. Probably, I'm just a different audience - I like Bill Cosby's albums and Steve Martin's stuff.
Found a link to a gazillion mp3s of Stars on 45. Pop hits medley-ed out on disco hand-claps. Tossed me right back into the middle of 1981, quick like a magic trick.
Jack the cat chases black bear up tree
WEST MILFORD, N.J. - A black bear picked the wrong New Jersey yard for a jaunt earlier this week, running into a territorial tabby who ran the furry beast up a tree — twice.
Jack, a 15-pound orange-and-white cat, keeps a close vigil on his property, chasing small animals when he can, but his owners and neighbors say his latest escapade was surprising.
"We used to joke, 'Jack's on duty,' never knowing he'd go after a bear," cat owner Donna Dickey told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Friday's newspapers.
Neighbor Suzanne Giovanetti first spotted Jack's accomplishment after her husband saw a bear climb a tree on the edge of their northern New Jersey home's back yard on Sunday. Giovanetti thought Jack was simply looking up at the bear, but soon realized the much larger animal was afraid of the hissing cat.
After about 15 minutes peering down at the cat from the tree, the bear descended and tried to run away, only to have Jack chase it up another tree.
At this point Dickey, who feared for her cat, called Jack back home and the bear scurried back to the woods.
"He doesn't want anybody in his yard," Dickey said.
Bear sightings are not unusual in West Milford, which experts consider one of the state's most bear-populated areas.

Date: 2006-06-10 05:05 pm (UTC)Back during Red's heyday, J's mom ran into Red Foxx in a Vegas casino. She was going into a bathroom, he was coming out. She said he got in her face and was all leery, and then he asked her to sleep with him. But he asked her by using the F word. Lame. She said he reeked of alcohol, in a rancid way. I bet there were women that would have taken him up on his offer..as messed up as he was.
I watched a ghostie show that said he's supposedly haunting his old Vegas house. They mentioned his alcoholism, and he went bankrupt (?) or something. Apparently he died at a sad time in his life. A company bought his Vegas house, and work out of it now. The boss and employees are sure that he haunts the house. Sliding glass doors open alone, lights go out constantly when they try to work, etc. at first, they did things to try to make it stop...but now they like it, and embrace it. ;)
