The more I think about the scooby thing, the more I think we can use it as slang. If someone is knocking a particular area/house/stock because they want to buy it for less for themselves, that is “pulling a scooby.” Conversely, a “reverse scooby” is what Rt.66 can accuse me of when he thinks I’m pimping my hood for my own property values (which he really can’t if you look at my big picture, but it will be more funny when he does it).
Automatic Earth was a good read but there is no real debate on their boards, they are the victims of their own intelligence and the posters and contributing authors just build on each other until it is foil hat time.
Veritas, my ability to interpret biblical text is very poor, it would my most feared jeapordy category. But, yes, I entertain the crazy all the time, I am a nice as I can be, but I am way to rational/skeptical to take their advice, so if one has talked to the angels, I’d probably miss out. I wish one of them had told me that I should have bought Ford stock at $1.01, when I was about to do it, then I would have bought that guy some soup and see how much more the angels told him. But I’ll bet in that same bible, you can find twenty verses that warn of turning the street hobo into Dustin Hoffman in Rain man for your own financial gain.
