Wllyah. Kevin's little fakename hipster pals seem infinitely lamer than that your average Joe Strummer or KRS-One. But then, as you say, you just can't tell the kids these days, any more than you could ever tell any of the kids in previous days, including the ones that were us. I never regretted not having ever had any kind of punk (or whatever) name until I started dating my wife. Not only did she have a punk name when it counted, she sometimes ends up talking about people she knew with wacky names that just seem completely normal to her, and that can be entertaining. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2007 16:22:57 -0600 From: 2fs Subject: Re: My name is On 11/7/07, Rex wrote: > > > > I never regretted not having ever had any kind of punk (or whatever) name > until I started dating my wife.

I hear both a lot around the DC area. we have one sports commentator here in NZ who isists that athletes and swimmers run/swim "out of lane number X" - e.g., "Sergei Rushvenko is swimming for Belarus out of lane seven". Which, if taken literally, would mean they would be disqualified. Mind you, the same guy insists that a 100 metre swim comprises "four laps of the pool" - which would see the swimmers all swimming out of their lanes.

I didn't think we knew much about it other than the vague period it covered, and that it is the first RH album to be named after a member of the X-Men.
