I went out with a nabor last Friday night to get a beer at a local townie bar.
Jim Nabor?
They had a small dance floor with the typical bad music. When the deejay put on the Village People's "YMCA" he turned down the volume during the "Y - M - C - A" chorus and led the redneck crowd through his own version: "Fry Tim McVeigh," which they sang.
I am expecting Tim McVeigh to show up in a video game any day now. Check out some of the games at the local arcade. See who the villians in the "shoot-em-up" games are... Used to be "drug dealers". Now it is "terrorists". And you get to be the one to "blow the badguys away". (In my more paranoid moments I equate it to a plot to get people to side with the government on the next televised shoot-the-bad-guys spectacle/stand-off.) In one, you get to go after them in a hellicopter! (Painted black, no doubt...) And you don't see any mothers protesting what this will do to their kids... Will the next video game target be evil cryptographers? alano@teleport.com | "Those who are without history are doomed to retype it."
