The Dodo is Mascot of the Month because I turn 50 this month. I feel as obsolete and anachronistic as a Dodo. I cannot (and choose not) to relate the hip-hop music and culture. I will not knuckle under to the fascist control of twitter. I do not carry my cellphone because almost no one has to get in touch with me that badly. And the one that does (Eddie) knows I don't carry my cellphone.

I am Scott. I am 50 this month. I remember the Dodo because I will not let the annoyances of the world, the screaming throngs on the streets, the snow, splatter films, the constant use explitives when perfectly acceptable words are available, ass-crack pants, Judge Judy and Rush Limbaugh beat me to death. I will not be a Dodo. I will go out kicking and screaming.

And, perhaps it is time to remind everyone the words that I want on my headstone.
