Random, but truthful remark...

Scalawag is one of the best words ever.

George W. Bush is a scalawag! It's like calling him a fucknut, but without the Secret Service showing up at your door.

Saddam Hussein was a scalawag! See the subtle difference in verbs? Ah, it's so dynamic!

Use the word in your everyday speech. Call your boss a scalawag. Call your parents scalawags. Tell your unborn child that he or she will become a scalawag!

Wikipedia love

I was one of those kids who fell in love with reading about the same thing for a month or so. Whether it be the attack on Pearl Harbor, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the Civil War, or whatever, I would take books from the library to satisfy my curiosity.

Never before I was given such an easy outlet to my mini-addiction. Wikipedia, created in 2001, is always there for me. If I want to read about serial killers, I can find an entire category. School shootings, the carrier program, Beatles singles, TV show information...it is all rather neat and tidy.

I'd love to know I'm not the only crazy bastard who does this. Let me know.
