Vootie!

Indigo, seriously, I almost want to throttle you for using this word. I have no idea where it comes from. I have no idea whether it truly means "your sister is a llama prostitute." But like those damn Dance Dance songs, I can't get this out of my head. It's become an all-purpose exclamation of glee.

So vootie! I found the scanner I desperately want at our backwater Wal-Mart, so now I don't have to buy it online and pay shipping! And I found a cheap(er) copy of Vagrant Story at Tradezone, and if Josh is still there he's giving me a discount! And I'm going to send money for my Sailor Moon poster lot I got on ebay! All with the money from the savings account I closed this morning. Forgot I had it--it's ooooold and from the era when I was trying to save up for a SNES. Wow.

Having some queasy friendslist issues--there's certainly no one boring or stupid on my list, I lurves ya all. But if I don't check lj religiously, there are just way too many posts...gah! Perhaps I should take some communities off my list and just visit their sites once so often. Or maybe I just need to learn to not be so anal and say to myself, "Self, you cannot read every single lj post. Get over it." I think I will try that, because anyone I wouldn't want on my friends list was probably never there to begin with. I do'wanna delete anyone!

And I must say, logging on and discovering that you've been added as a friend be people you either don't know or added to yours thinking they were really, really cool...well, that's a good feeling. Note to self, try not to suck.

SCANNER! *frolics* I keep going back to that. If all goes well, I will have Jainapics tonight! See Jaina search for an Arby's! Watch Jaina as a naked drooling baby! Learn why exactly Jaina no longer wears glasses! All this, and more! Tonight, if I can get the scanner set up properly.

Off to sing for my supper now. I have no idea why I said that, other than I felt like it.

um...er...vootie!

Vagrant Story is a very slow game, fair warning.

As for vootie? I reposted the etymology of vootie earlier today.

It definitely does not mean "Your sister is a llama prostitute." Although that's a great insult and I may have to remember to use it.

Vootie actually means "peace". When Dave Garroway hosted the Today show in the 50's, he would sign off by holding up two fingers and saying "peace". This is the origin of the peace sign.

Dave had a mascot, a chimpanzee named J. Fred Muggs.

When Mad Magazine did a take-off on this, around 1956 or so, they had J. Fred take over the show, and he signed-off by giving the peace sign and saying, "vootie!".

If you don't believe me, you can look it up. All you need is a complete collection of Mad magazines, or at least all of the early ones after it switched over from being a comic book.

Glad to help.
