But I have such cute hats, I simply must  show off         my  millinery.**         And of course, my collection of Tees. But seriously, folks ....  This is another blatant plug for my crazed YouTube "channel." (Steam Calliope Music here)  See the funny hats!                                                Play along with the exciting game!                                                Hear deranged commentaries!                                                Put reality aside, and...                                                Come on inside!                               S P I D E R  &  O L D E   S C O O T E R

Scooter's Looming YouTube Thang Update, New Spin, Preview-ish stuff on the post below . You remember "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," James Brown rocking out? Well, I'm working on a new one myself, a YouTube "channel." [I do the quotes because to me a channel is a TV thing. Old school.] And speaking of old, the name of the channel in my mad bag pipeline is "Spider and Olde Scooter." That fine figger of a pixel pixie (I just can't help it) above is the logo of the iMac version of Spider Solitaire. Her name is Spider Mac.

I have taken the vow of no cussing on this channel. Also no editing. Go figure.) The gaming set up is like this (so far): I'm practicing a bunch, and I've imposed on several friends and relatives to see a game o
