Yes!  That big circular thing that smells of pish.  I must have had a black
out in my brain about that one detail.  That's 100 times easier to find
than my directions.  Just follow the smell....

heh heh.  Well, a few of the tracks make no sense to me.

Wow, (to change the subject for no reason) I had the weirdest dream.  Does
anyone else have dreams that go on when you wake up once and then fall back
to sleep?  I had this one where a cop was chasing me all over the place. 
He had it in his mind that I needed to be taken back to my normal way of
life, but I was running like hell even when he had his gun pulled on me! 
He chased me through people's back yards, a mall, etc.

Yes!  Had the same experience sitting in my car.  Was a dull day driving
about town stuck in traffic and getting caught at every single red light
with the radio on.  I had it turned to the public station and my all time
favorite "the state I am in"  came on!    Made me glad I was in traffic for
once and not in the store I needed to be in listening to the dance station.

Yes!  Arab Strap II:Electric Boogaloo

Well, the rumors of me saying they are shit are unfounded.  I enjoy Sgt.
Peppers and many of their other singles.  However, since they were so
prolific, and at that point in their careers, they really didn't need to
censor themselves too much, yes, some of it just doesn't go down well. 
They could have released the recorded sounds of their hangovers after a
world cup match and it would have sold millions.  
That's my theory on Oasis.  I consider them  a parody on the Beatles since
the Beatles looked too scarily harmonious and enjoyed each other's company
so much that they began to dress like one another and go sledding together.
