I don't guess I should be surprised, but..

The one and only Dr. Gene Scott has done went and got hisself a website where you can hear about the great man (just ask him), you can watch his broadcasts 24/7 via this here new fangled internet contraption.

For those great unwashed who have no idea who I'm burbling about, here's a bit of description I chanced across some time back while Googling for info:

Anyway, as we flipped channels on the television on New Year's Eve, my friends and I came across some obscure channel which I swear I am not making up. When we first stumbled upon the channel, it was showing a grainy video of: a woman riding a horse. Some classic rock tune played in the background, as the woman and the horse wandered around some ranch. This went on some five minutes. Then, the screen faded to a facial close-up of a man, smoking a cigar and reading some papers. He looked up at the camera, scowled a little bit, and rolled his fingers, as if to say, "play the horse video again."

And they did. My friends and I howled with laughter, our cackles interrupted only by nearby gunshots. The video went on through another song, at which point, the screen faded back to the man. He didn't even look up at the camera this time; he just made the rolling motion with his hands, and they played the horse video again. This time, the song in the background was something by Prince.

My friends and I were gasping for air between guffaws at this point. Finally, the Prince song (which, I swear, had something to do with sex) ended, and the screen again went to the man, identified as "Dr. Gene Scott." This time, he looked up, took off his glasses, and started rambling about the Bible and how his church was empty and how he had no family -- all while puffing on a cigar the size of a small Buick. He seemed, quite frankly, grumpy and in need of a laxative.

I am a happy camper.

I know the man.

My parents own one of those huge old school satellite dishes that tune in channel by each individual satellite. He has his own channel (same thing you where watching I am sure) and I have watched him for years now. I cannot recall how long. Maybe over 14 years I have seen him on there. He sometimes will wear a hat that has a stealth fighter or something like it. I dunno what his is all about and I have flipped past him for so long.

Oh, he's a complete riot. Undoubtedly an absolute genius when it comes to biblical history, he is nonetheless utterly barking mad.

Oh! I haven't thought about him in years! My parents used to watch his channel for the horses-- because he had American Saddlebreds, which is the breed of horse that my parents have. They've even met him in person at a horse show. He's definitely an odd duck.

Yup, used to watch Dr. Scott on some local channel late Friday or Saturday nights after partying. (no, really, some regular broadcast channels carried his show for some hours when no sponsors were available). Great stuff, though for energy we'd switch to Ernest Angely and watch him HEAL!

Your link is b0rken, by the way, you need to add the .com.

I too watched Dr Scott many years back. He is the son of a baptist minister and for years claimed he renounced his faith. Than went and got his degree from Stanford and Started preaching. I was interested because he unlike his other fundy partners claimed the bible did not prohibit smoking and drinking. And if one was going to follow the teachings of same then they damn well better take all of it in context. He used to ramble on for hours. From what I understand his biggest claim to fame was getting Playboy off the cable (at that time) and taking over the slot on Westar 1.

One of the few preacher types I would ever sit and listen to.
