I got to say Scott you do more things in New York than I do or even know about. I went to the Catskills a couple of years ago to go snowboarding. Besides that I go slam danceing at the rocks clubs like CBGB (by the way I am going to see the punk group the Misfits play their soon) or have 4 budwisers and 2 shots of Jack Daniels at the the various bars in Manhattan :)

Everyone on this board should watch that one, if they haven't already!  I don't think I want to watch it again, but who can turn down a chance to watch Joe Namath acting (and looking just like he did in that episode of The Brady Bunch)?

Or Ann Margaret?

You can check out the East State Pen and some other creepy places at Modern Ruins.

I've posted that before, but they have added some new photo essays since then. Got some perfect horror/ghost movie settings over there.

Wow, those are some great photo's Trek-Geezer.  First found out about this place while watching FEAR on MTV a few years ago as they did one show from there. The photographer was pretty good on your link.

Here's a link to Edgar Allen Poe's House in Philadelphia where he lived for 6 years. Here are the stories he wrote from this place.

Murders in the Rue Morgue
The Pit and the Pendulum
The Tell-Tale Heart
The Black Cat
The Gold-Bug
The Fall of the House of Usher
The Masque of the Red Death
The Purloined Letter
The Cask of Amontillado
A Descent into the Maelstrom
William Wilson
The Man of the Crowd
The Oval Portrait

You can visit Edgar Allen Poe's grave in Baltimore.

Being that Scott has divulged some of his weekly routine, one of which is his 12 hour a week workout schedule, some of the board members have wondered what Scott includes in his workout. Fear not fellow bad movie gurus, for I am here to fill that void. (I heard that)


Any good workout schedule includes a range of exercises designed to give a complete workout to the various parts of the body. Scott alots a good 1 1/2 to 2 hours for this which includes:

Arm Curls: The ideal weight to use for this is 8 ounces. It just so happens that his remote control weighs 8 ounces and he warms up by picking it up several times during his routine.

Digit Manipulation and Wrist Flex (minds out of the gutter): It is important to keep the hands in top shape (minds...minds) for a B-movie lover (ahem). The same remote used for arm curls provides Scott ample oppotunity to exercise those digits and wrists. (stop it with the comments)

Leg Lifts: Scott is not lost to the impostance of keeping the legs in top shape and has brought the simple exercise of leg lifts to a science. Of course this includes the all important lifting of the legs, then letting the legs back down. During the process of letting his legs down, Scott is aware of the potential for injury during this cycle and has found that resting the legs on somethings helps to prevent this. For this purpose, Scott recommends a footstool.

Butt-ups: This often concludes Scott's workout routine and involves standing from a seated position. This is an important part of the exercise schedule as it coincides with other routines such as: going to the bathroom, changing the video, and making popcorn.


Yes, Scott has taken exercise to the level of art and is very devoted to these routines. You too can be like Scott and commit yourself to a regular workout schedule. With enough determination and regular application of the principles, you too can look like this:

Yep, I think you've got it Menard, but that is only the warm up.



The 12 hours consist of at most 6 hours of weight training a week and on average 6 hours of group exercise. These two types of fitness compliment each other and help balance out your weekly program. Then to do 3 hours of self-defense training a week. This should get you in great shape for yard work.
