This actually started a fun conversation with some coworkers. Should a
country be limited to one song? And if not, who would get to pick? I thought
it should be random, the only criteria being that music come from the
winners' country. Can you imagine the onlookers at a medal ceremony,
watching a German receive the gold medal...waiting anxiously for the
music...and suddenly realizing they're in for 22 minutes of Kraftwerk's
"Autobahn" as the flag literally *inches* it's way up the pole? What would
be the American anthem be? Public Enemy's "Night of the Living Baseheads"?
Or Cleaners from Venus' "Living with Victoria Gray" for Britain? The mind
boggles.

Or maybe the winner gets to plug his iPod into the stereo system for 30
seconds as the flag goes up. To the winner go the DJ privileges.

I think your tinfoil hat is too tight, Eb. Cutting off circulation to
the brain just isn't healthy.

(You know, the phrase "your tinfoil hat is too tight" reminds me of a
Captain Beefheart line. Can't think of which one though - but it's fun
to imagine the Captain growling out those words...)

My apologies: the reference to Hitler was ill-advised. My response
should have been:

1) You are right: referring to Captain Beefheart is an overdone insult;

2) Don't talk to me about Bein' Hackneyed...

(I think the Beefheart track is "Ebs-ma"...)

I read something like this, and just wonder how you could possibly  
figure that you're coming off well.

I continue to underestimate just how rich and deep your childish  
snittiness runs.


Incidentally, did anyone else experience a weird mailing-list glitch  
an hour or so ago? I received a flurry of posts all at once, and many  
of them were duplicates.
