New Aha, I thought I heard an echo of 'Modern Times' there...
...as in, "you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus" -- yup, in M.T, there's a lot of Charlie lying on (and under, and between) gears, getting mangled by "the apparatus".

Wonder if the allusion was intentional, or subconscious? (Or, is it possible to be both at the same time?)

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575|Ashton Brown]

New It was just my guess (too)
that MT was the inspiration - dunno fershure, but canot believe that savvy Mario would never have seen most of Charlie's opera.

(Had I the presence of mind - I coulda asked him, not long after. Now he be daid, and rather too-early.. like most of the other good guys of this execrable century.) Which, by subtraction leaves us with ___ the dregs.



I trust you will not be joining those other wacky Finns, diving into the sea this time of year; still.. have a kewl Gl\ufffddelig Jule, as they say in a nearby noncombative land. Damn, I miss Tivoli...

The alien burst from Dan's stomach. Spaghetti sauce or blood spattered the wall. It was probably blood. Either way, it would stain.
