i'm. . .i'm at a loss here. did i miss a meeting?

um. are you saying that house is generally faster than 135? news to me. .
.but then again, i'm a model, so thinking isn't priority one. pass the
ipecac.

true enough. i'm assuming you're making an implied value judgement here.
quoted 1 line must not contain and comment or dissident(lowest common denominator);> must not contain and comment or dissident(lowest common denominator);
that's an interesting definition of lowest common denominator. it is of
course, highly relative and probably wrong. house music doesn't fly with
you OR my gramma. and Rage Against the Machine (an example of "dissident"
(sic)) isn't exactly underground. do you get your social criticism from
Highlights magazine?
don't blame a theme park for not being a cathedral.
i'm bowled over than the silly caricature of the stereotypical idmer is
actually turning out to be true for some people.
