why does everyone on fork seem to have such bad freakin' taste in
music? doesn't anyone around here listen to something melodic now and

not whine. not growl. and no samples!) how about perform live? how
about _read fucking sheet music_!?

aye, we've all seen this happen. a fellow grad-student acquaintance
of mine posted a misogynistic email, filled with references to all the
drugs he would be taking the next weekend, to the whole department.
the follow-up/retraction/apology five minutes later was priceless...

i'm still waiting for this one - ron seems to have _way_ too much time

the best play i've ever read; i've given away several of my copies. i
had a friend in high school that turned his copy of HHGTTG into a
Bible-like thing, complete with books and verses (annotated, of
course). i've often thought of doing the same with my RAGAD.
beaut,
