#38- I don't know what to feel about somehow being armed with the knowledge that BLUE SWEDE'S version of "Hooked On A Feeling" is the one that contains the "oo-ga-sha-ga's".

"Everyone needs to go through the phase of goofy mischief as they're introduced to the mind-blowing concept of spontaneous, instant organizing in meatspace. It's the natural and appropriate reaction to the realization that we can organize and interact in this totally new way."

this kind of thought process is one of the few things that turns me off about this site.

I'm sure there's a performance artist/ham radio enthusiast somewhere who's far more irate.

This reminds me of possibly the greatest review I've ever read of a television show (MY SUPER SWEET 16)...

"This is why terrorists want to kill us."

ugh, this reminds me too much of the debate 20 years ago over whether punks and skins will ever "unite".

one can see how important it was in retrospect.

"I hope it *hasn't* been addressed. Iron poisoning and suffocation may be scary, but I've never heard of a kid dying of a paper cut. Kids are *way* too overprotected these days."

I'd agree with the "way too overprotected" assessment, but seriously...corrugated cardboard edges slice through flesh like a serrated knife.

ask your UPS guy.

looks cool but corrugated cardboard can pack a WICKED paper cut! hope that issue has been addressed.

thanks, pork...you beat me to it. The Disney fixation is one of the rare things on here I feel uncomfortable with.

Disney are flat-out thugs in many respects when it comes to business.

this is one of those things that used to turn up in the mailboxes of tape traders, in the pre-internet days of 80's nihilism. The R. "Bud" Dwyer suicide press conference video was another.

those were such innocent times.

I saw some great shows as a lil' whippersnapper at the Capitol Theatre (Ramones, Elvis Costello, Clash, Police) but $40 is a little more than I'd be willing to open that conversation by wearing one.

at least this gives the News Times message board regulars something different to discuss other than "invading hordes" of immigrants.
