You can't bait me by calling the Dandys "pseudo-goth." You and I both know that you are not one of these post-Columbine rubes who wouldn't know goth if it slunk up and bit them on the neck. After all, if descent from the Velvets were all it took, why, both Galaxie 500 and Yo La Tengo would be goth bands, wouldn't they?

Plus, I think Todd pretty much does things he likes, and I get the impression that his musical taste runs more to Ozzy and Rob. - - Steve _______________ We're all Jesus, Buddha, and the Wizard of Oz! - Andy Partridge ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2000 17:42:34 -0400 (EDT) From: Bayard Subject: Quail Sucks?????

Hey, that's the world-famous Kibo! I don't think we should declare war with him. I mean, war between Kibo and the Quail, two Internet deities with relgious followers? That could very well lead to the Apocalypse. - --Chris np: Phish, _Junta_ ______________________________________________________________________ Christopher Gross On the Internet, nobody knows I'm a dog. chrisg@gwu.edu ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2000 18:57:53 -0400 (EDT) From: Christopher Gross Subject: and another thing I just noticed an ad on the back of a magazine: "A proper Englishman never went on a safari without a fine claret. Which is exactly why we serve such TASTY PRAWNS." It's an ad for British Airways, and goes on to talk about how the British have perfecting the art of travelling well, but we all know it's really a Robyn reference. Also, I noticed that Kibo's .sig includes the word "gerbil."

Golly, I really would hate to mobilize the Surreal Posse against this fellow.... Can't we just sign him onto the Feg List and conquer him by absorption?
