   Heh. Exactly. There are a few moments where OP could easily have inserted   
   a throwaway Marshall McLoo cameo, but he seems to have been too lost in   
   recounting his own "neophilic" adventures to recognize them.   
      
   As for the BLAST, they don't teach him here.   
      
   At this rate I might sponsor a contest for rewriting it in order to   
   de-plonk, as it were. Entries should use only 1995-era resources of course   
   and, if possible, reconstructions of the ascii mindset: Bill Clinton on   
   the throne, Norman O. Brown still alive, the Dow industrials at 5,000,   
   anything above 2400 baud is impressive, ye X-Files and Babylon 5 just   
   ramping up in the paranoid style.

   ability -- to wade through incredible amounts of apparent trash in the   
   hopes of receiving just a little worthwhile information."
