I was thinking more along the lines of Les Claypool.   

But of course, JG is *always* a contender.

That's the difference between high school and post-college for me.

the difference between Aerosmith and Yes, if you will.

That's an even more obscure region of math - a little district called
"statistics"

Just listing reasons I've been given for people becoming firefighters.
I've known a couple.

Shit, DM, I can barely imagine you without your *hat*.

The whole "love, honor, country" thing is very poetic, but doesn't wash in
the real world.

If you arbitrarily define "good", you need an arbitrarily defined "evil" as
well.  

Otherwise, it's the black cat in the coal cellar at midnight.

DM, we've had this discussion, I think.  I just much prefer his novels when
they can stand on their own, and don't require a last minute rescue by Pixel
and/or Gay Deceiver.

Cool.  I've heard Vermont is good for that.  Nice to see you back with us.

When is that?  I'm under the gun at work ATM - deadlines, deadlines,
deadlines.  It's hard to break away for a couple hours, much less leave
town.   We'll have to see.

That's all.
