    Yeah. The funny thing about that defect was that it made it sound like

    Daniel is trav'ling tonight on a train
    I can hear the big hippo
    Crunching his brain-ain-ain...

    Honestly, the wet chewing sound... picture a lavalier microphone 
gaffer-taped to the cheek of a hypersalivating wild boar who is munching on 
an excellent snack of empty coffee cans, igneous stones and chihuahuas. I 
got it off a sound effects CD - probably part of the Killer Tracks set from 
about 1991, but I can't tell you for sure.

    Oh God, no.

    Thanks for the compliments, though.

    Halloween of 1994 was, well, what happens when a bunch of 
technologically-enabled guys with attention deficit disorder have Halloween 
off and crack open their first beers at 10:AM... and it's one of those most 
fond memories from my misguided youth.

    This reply? About four beers. And too much time on my hands. I should 
really be doing something productive.
