in the news today, the CIA and british authorities shook down some poor british kid for writing a prank threat email to Dubya. if the entire british population began emailing similar material, it might keep the CIA safely neutralized for the next 4 years.

There's a local story around here about a boy who was suspended for five days for pointing a chicken wing at his teacher and saying "pow pow pow."I think he was eight.

A few years ago, after the Columbine thingy, a local student was expelled for saying to his teacher he was gonna "pull a Columbine on yo' ass..."This was front page fodder for about three weeks. No lie.

(02-05) 10:53 PST SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Blame Canada. Engineering students at the University of British Columbia said Monday they were responsible for tethering the shell of an old Volkswagen Beetle to the railing of the Golden Gate Bridge and then tossing it over the side. The stunt backed up rush-hour traffic as gawkers slowed to look at the dangling car.

It's almost like the Tea Party all over again, only with the empty shell of a German car. Ah, my brothers, can you smell revolution in the air?

rOb!:
Oh, and it's not in Boston, either.

often there have been VW Beetles hanging from various places in Vancouver, bridges, buildings. The Highway Patrol will lead the investigation into the prank, which could be punishable by fines in American money, and community service penalties. The penalties for such pranks increased following a 1996 episode in which actor Woody Harrelson activists climbed one of the bridge's cables for no good reason at all. They still have to get across the border, you know.

Myk Murphy:
i believe that smell is diesel, rob.

rOb!:
Oh...in retrospect I should have known the smell of revolution wouldn't leave me so light-headed.

I still look to Quebec for wacky Canadians.

By the way I'm thinking of purchasing Cubase 'Clean' do you know of it? mostly to rebuild some cassettes that are a bit marginal and noisy..

careful with that german software, mooch. the Help files are harsh, but fair. they will scold you, but you'll know that you deserve the discipline.

I'm so glad I have no clue what you guys are talking about. All my friends are computer programmers and the like, and when we all get together, they talk shop. I, on the other hand, sit in a corner, getting drunk and reading comic books.

rOb!:
I can totally beat all their asses in comic trivia.

Of course, they all have jobs with futures, so I guess it all evens out.

as a songwriter/bandleader type, rob, you might want to get into this sort of thing. a reasonably-priced PC can duplicate a lot of hardware in a recording studio, and remain easily upgradeable. it's possible that it could save you money, but... ah... i doubt it. upon further consideration... it's a goddamn money pit.

Yeah....my old band was all about digital recording. I learned quite alot about computers, and it just made me respect my analog recorders even more.
