Oh wow, saw them live in the late 90's in northern Virginia at some outdoor venue, they were so good.

Love your user name, by the way.

I'm from NC, but not now.

You get the reference to exPFCwintergreen? If so, you're the first.

I'm in a Sorta' melancholy mood today, if you didn't guess.

exPFC Wintergreen had so much power, he was basically in charge of censorship. I had a user name on reddit that was a variation of Nately's whore, don't think I used it much and forgot the password a long time ago. About time to reread that book.

Melancholy moods are more satisfying when it's raining. Hope it's raining where you are.

Was thinking the same thing. War never seems to go out of date, but I wish it would.

And didn't wintergreen say that somebody's "prose is too prolix"? Books like that come around once or twice in a lifetime. Joseph Heller, may he rest easy. Remember when Yossarian saw that man cut in half by a propeller? And the soldier in white. Books we have known and loved.

I think we have a whole lotta ex-reddit people here. The way it was back in the old days.

Hang in there buddy.
