It's awe-inspiring not only in it's contradiction, but by the
fact that Stev0, the Great Satan that he is, posted the basis
of what has become a "heavy issue"?

Jon, do you need any material donations?  My cat Tulip throws
a hairball up every so often, I think this might be just the
textural medium you need.....

I myself am sculpting my mental impression of Ken Brownfield
(who is no doubt thrilled that I'm mentioning him) from the
neverending, always fresh supply of kitty dung that my fuzzy
friends provide.   It looks ... sorta like a big pile of kitty
dung.

"Blockhead"?  You .. you.... dick!  You LOCUST!  You

How true.  Though I'm sure making records can be
nerve-wracking, performing live _is_ a rush, a thrill and a
fright all at once.

Uh, yeah, it's a "heavy issue" ain't it?
