Could it be true that Scumbi (the artist
formerly known as PSAtan) is none other
than comedy writer Chris Marcil?
Do a google search on Chris Marcil and let
me know what you think?
- Fledgling out-of-work writer
- Itinerent funny man
- Lots of time on his hands last couple of years
- But strangely absent during the recent controversial thread(s)
Fess up, Scumbi. Inquiring minds wanna know.

Intriguing! I did the Google Search and came up with this NY Times Op-Ed piece from a couple days ago. See any similarities in the wit?
Who Was the Greatest President of the 20th Century?
By CHRIS MARCIL
Published: June 12, 2004
I think he is one of the two greatest presidents of the 20th century, along with Franklin Delano Roosevelt."
— Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Ronald Reagan.
LOS ANGELES — I'm Jim Nantz welcoming you to the Quaker State Halftime Show presented by Budweiser, and so far, this has been just the way you want to determine a Nextel Greatest American President of the 20th Century. I'm joined here as always by Billy Packer, the nation's foremost college hoops analyst, and one of the country's leading political commentators, Bill Schneider.
Turning first to you, Billy: F.D.R. is definitely bringing the pressure we all expected him to, but Ronald Reagan is more than withstanding it. Surprise?
PACKER Not at all, Jim. The big problem when you go up against F.D.R., of course, is his tremendous length, something Reagan didn't see in his matchups against Eisenhower and Wilson. But, to his credit, Reagan's maintaining excellent communication on the floor.
NANTZ Putting the lie to those who thought the Roosevelt-Roosevelt semifinal was the real championship. Bill Schneider, your analysis?
SCHNEIDER There are strong arguments to be made on both sides, Jim.
NANTZ Good point. We said during the La Quinta Inn Greatest American President of the 20th Century Selection Show that F.D.R., with his tough regular-season schedule against the likes of Tennessee Valley and the Berlin Axis, had to be considered the favorite. But Reagan's high seeding at the time was more controversial.
PACKER Reagan got the No. 1 seed in the West because of his big win over the Soviet Devils, but I think the Soviets beat themselves in that one. Of course you can say Reagan's pressure defense was the chief factor in that. Either way, as William Howard Taft said on our Allstate Road to the Nextel Greatest American President of the 20th Century Pregame Show, if you're not opportunistic, you're not a great president.
NANTZ Surprisingly, Reagan shows no ill effects from his double-overtime win against Eisenhower in the semi. You might expect a letdown after two extra sessions trying to solve Ike's military-industrial complex.
PACKER Reagan's a student of history, and he saw earlier in the year how lightly Elizabeth I took Henry II going into the Boddingtons Pub Ale Greatest English Monarch final. He's not making that mistake.
NANTZ Neither is F.D.R. Bill Schneider, what do these presidents have to do in the second half to be crowned the Nextel Greatest American President of the 20th Century?
SCHNEIDER There are a number of factors that observers feel may be decisive, depending on the situation.
NANTZ Thanks for that. Billy, what is your Intel Inside Key to the Game?
PACKER Toughness, Jim. F.D.R has proved that nothing scares him except fear — but how will he react if Reagan gets a chance to cut loose and begin bombing in five minutes?
NANTZ A rendezvous with destiny indeed. Straight ahead, stay tuned for a halftime performance by OutKast, with special guest Ronan Tynan — right after these words from our sponsors at the American Enterprise Institute.

Scumbi's real name is NOT Chris Marcil.
Another controversy quelled.
Anyone can sucker punch and run.
Scumbi and PSAtan were "two" of the funniest ids to post on these boards in years. I enjoy reading his posts immensely. I don't necessarily care what his name is either because he usually makes a point with his humor. Just because I know your name, it doesn't add a whole lot. I can explain further if necessary. BTW - Scumbi didn't sucker punch anyone or run.
CU needs to come up with a way that people like yourself can filter ids so that you dont have to read posts from the ones that you don't like. I think Yahoo message boards provide this capability.
Regards,
Alan
I like to know who I'm getting opinions from.
Notice the PS in the first ID?
BOTR
Fear not. Scumbi e-mailed me this picture today.
He and his entourage are slowly making their way to Dav's house for the big night :
"How about a little fire Scarecrow ?"
Wolfbear is behind Scumbi (black and white).
CU turns its lonely eyes to you
What's the you say, Mrs Robinson
Vargha bucks have left and gone away?
hey hey hey
hey hey hey
Yeah, that's them alright. First to Davalillo's gig and then off to the National.
Their agenda of course is to stop the violence and commercialism that infests this hobby.
Because of this, they've written a Protest Song called, "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Go-To-the-National Rag"
It's to the tune of Country Joe McDonald's "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die Rag"
Feel free to sing along:
"I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Go-To-the-National Rag"
Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,
The hobby needs your help again.
Your favorite dealer is now on call
To his sell wares at Cleveland Hall
So put down your cards and call 9-1-1,
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.
And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me to post your bail,
Next stop is Cleveland jail;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the squad car doors,
Well there ain't no time to get uptight,
Whoopee! we're all gonna get in a fight!
Well, come on promotors, let's move fast;
Your big chance has come at last.
Gotta go out and sell that table
To the dealer that's the most unstable
So what if he's a psychotic mauler?
You're doing it for the almighty dollar.
And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me to post your bail,
Next stop is Cleveland jail;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the squad car doors,
Well there ain't no time to get uptight,
Whoopee! we're all gonna get in a fight!
Come on grading companies, don't move slow,
You've got plenty of customers at the show.
There's plenty good money to be made
By assigning cards with a grade,
Who cares if these sportscard buffs,
Get busted and dragged off in cuffs.
And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me to post your bail,
Next stop is Cleveland jail;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the squad car doors,
Well there ain't no time to get uptight,
Whoopee! we're all gonna get in a fight!
Well, come on mothers throughout the nation,
Pack your boys off for a vacation.
Come on fathers, don't hesitate,
Send 'em off before it's too late.
Because you better hurry up fast
To have the first one home in a cast.
And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me to post your bail,
Next stop is Cleveland jail;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the squad car doors,
Well there ain't no time to get uptight,
Whoopee! we're all gonna get in a fight!

Wonderful post! Problem is you have to be at least 45 to remember that song firsthand (and by that I stretch the meaning of "firsthand" to include either owning the album or having an older sibling or cousin who owned it), and that definition probably applies to only a precious few here!
Of course, the young'uns here have probably heard of that remarkable invention called a "stereo", where one can play back recordings of long forgotten songs played live long ago, say in the summer of 1969, when "dial up"meant our rotary phones and not a modem, and when black and white referred to our TV's and not the 1953 Bowman set.

Steve - There were TVs and phones back in the sixties ?????
Dude - Great parody !
Actually saw the Fish sing that song.
Of course, I was a mere lad at the time ...
"How about a little fire Scarecrow ?"
I'm still around. I'd like to thank everyone for the kind remarks. Also, GoBloCox should be reminded that many famous proverbs are unattributed. That doesn't mean they don't have merit. Where would we be without such important statements as:
1) Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he teaches other men how to fish or something like that.
2) That type of monkey doesn't bite.
3) Baseball cards are like a$$es; They both smell like gum if you put gum in your a$$.
4) Don't talk to strangers because then they won't be strangers.
and
5) I'll take the dirty stall without the butt protection paper over a pair of moist, brown pants any day.
Imagine us all on that bus hunting baseball cards. It's a dream of mine. Twenty diehards on speed, mushrooms and Three Musketeers turning this fine country upside down. No showers. No man on man action. No rules besides the showers and no man on man. We'd be legends like Paul Bunyan, John Henry and the Candyman (Don't say his name three times in front of the mirror). We could drive that bus on Augusta and play 36 while Toppsgun stands lookout with an uzi. We could go to one inning of nine different baseball games over the course of nine days! We could stay up late, play Pictionary and not get yelled at by our mothers.
Be well. Even you 34 Goudey hoarder. I don't wish bad things on people. Nobody throws a no-hitter every single time he takes the mound. I don't know any .250 hitters who went 1 for 4 in all 162 games. Ups and downs. So find a fat first person to ride the see-saw with.

Two questions: 1) Where do i sign up for this bus trip? and 2) Do i need to bring my own beer?
PLMK.
