Who I Want to Meet:
The person who put the ram in the Ramalamadingdong. Hmmm? Julius Ceasar to see how he liked being called 'Ive-lives', or perhaps my Viking ancestors to tell them that the land west of Greenland with the ex-pat Asians on it might be a good gamble someday and to get some signatures on some skins.
What? Oh, I see. Well, in that case I'm looking for a few good co-conspirators, or cocoa-inspirators with similar interests -- such as a dislike, well on the way to loathing, for organized religion (especially evangelical ones), broadcasted-big-money team sports and oh, I guess add anything that's too organized, faux nationalistic, or that
hoards too much money around itself. Someone who wants to push the plunger down after I've twisted the wires around the posts and pulled it up.

more weird rock facts than just about anyone and I
think that he has been visited by extra-terrestrials.
