Yeah, now that I think about it, it could be wind, because when you yaw
the car you are going to get more air coming into the***pit.

I'm not a big of most Kraftwerk. =/  I think their poppy stuff was
really neat and influential, but the albums I *love* are Kraftwerk
One, Kraftwerk Two, and Ralf & Florian.  Kraftwerk Two in particular
is an absolute masterpiece.  Ruckzuck and Klingklang are two of my
favorite pieces of music ever. =)

I'm mostly into the standards...Can, Faust, Cluster, Harmonia, Neu,
Agitation Free, La Dusseldorf, Cosmic Jokers, Ash Ra Temple w/ Tim
Leary, Tangerine Dream, etc.  If I'm the right mood I can listen to
some Amon Duul I & II but that's a bit too much like standard progrock
for my taste.

Really I'm just an academic artsnob so I should stop offering my
opinions here.  Stockhausen, Riley, etc and bad indie pop like
Tortoise and Low.  Although at least now you know how bad my taste is
so no one takes my earlier criticism seriously. =p

Oh yeah, my dad is 50, has a mullet, and was flipping out about Rob
Zombie last time I saw him.  Speaking of which, I gave him a #25
Folger's diecast car as a present and he couldn't remember who that
was.  With all the Hendrick's collectibles he has that made me sad.

My girlfriend has an "I love mullets!" sticker on the side of her
monitor.  And she makes fun of me for playing NASCAR games. =(

Not anymore, that's true.  Not enough hair *left*, hence the name Uncle
Fester.  Shoulda seen me about 10 years ago though.  :-)

citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a
double-edged sword. It both emboldens the ***, just as it narrows the

*** boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no
need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry,
infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their
rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I

Wow.  Damn good quote there, Fester.  Echoes exactly what I have been
feeling about George W.'s little holy war lately.

:-)  Cheers.  I felt it was pertinent.
