You know what I just discovered this morning? This is my 497th post on the old Scampernet. By my calculations, that means that barring illness and/or writer's block, the big 500th post should clock in around Friday morning.
500 posts. It's quite an accomplishment, especially considering that when I first started negotiating to join up with Scamper, I was given this journal as a throwaway bargaining chip in return for a clause in my contract promising to never wear my lucky assless chaps in public again. Christ, I miss the feeling of sticky banana-yellow leather against my skin.
But hey, this journal has been a lot of fun, too. There have been good times. Oh, the times, they have been good. Remember that episode when I caught Hawkeye and Trapper John drunkenly carving their initials on that Korean kid's spleen right before he died? And what about the Right Said Fred reunion that took place right here on this journal? And who can forget 9/11?
Yes, it's been a long and storied run here on the old Brendan's Journal. So much so that I believe a little celebration is in order. I want the 500th post to be the biggest, baddest post-a-mania of all time. Any ideas, kids? How I should commemorate my 500th post?

you should come out of the shower, making us realize that that the past 500 posts were all a dream...
you should take a shower anyway.

But if I make it to my 500th post without a shower, I get a free Widespread Panic sticker.
I think the 500th post would be an excellent time to strike out in a bold new direction - you could write about the band Scamper, or the music of the band Scamper, or what it's like to be in the band Scamper.

It's true - I have been neglecting to feed the dreams of those thousands of youngsters across the world, laying in their bunkbeds wondering what it's like to be in the band Scamper.
Aren't all chaps assless?
Aren't all asses chapless?
These questions are unanswerable.

You can have your 500th post written by Jason.

I wouldn't want the literacy level to jump up that high so suddenly. It might jar some of our slower readers.
i also like to write about journal(sorry undeducated girl) i think number 500 should come before 207 but not at 83. Ignore the resonance and light the fire. I really do like to form new religions and yours in now for me to take too.
Awesome
I'd like to see a reunion episode hosted by John McLaughlin. Get the whole cast together, including Shelly Long.
McLaughlin: "Best Scamper show? Diggity!"
Diggity: Definitely moustache show two-thousa--
McLaughlin: Wrong! Answer: rotating bassist show at Harper's Ferry. Best Brendan's journal entry? Brendo!
Brendo: Well, John, It's hard to say, I'm particulary fond of--
McLaughlin: Brendo vs. the 1040! Next issue, Mike Mirabella's balls. Keith!
Keith: Gee, um, I'm not ... I'm really, um, ...
McLaughlin: Answer! (leans into camera, speaking in expasperated drawl) Behemothic, elephantine, gargantuan! Planetary! Balls befitting this Brobdingnagian; I cried like a schoolgirl who's by a pony. Bye Bye!
Epic, The amount of knowledge that spews forth is insane. I bow before Brendans journal.

Gone gone. I stopped paying the bill, so they took my free speech away.
