Finest kind, LMH. Glad I finished my iced tea before I started reading this. Bush and his "talking boots" had me in stitches.

Just one correction, though: Smoke on the Water was a big hit for Deep Purple, not Blue Oyster Cult.

Don't fear the Reaper!

LM:

Hey, it's an easy mistake. The music from that incarnation of DP sounds a lot like BOC. (I'm really more of a fan of Deep Purple Mk1, but that song never fails to evoke memories of riding around in a friend's beat-up, rusty '57 Bel Aire, with "Made in Japan" jammed in the 8-track.)

For an example of a dumb (weird?) mistake, though, there's my repeated insistence on using that "LMH" abbreviation. Not sure where that's coming from, maybe some ingrained neural hiccup from too many years of software projects and acronyms.

I'll try to do better, honest.

“For The Association reference, I thank you.”

No problem. My job here, is to make “the empty cup as sweet as the punch”.

The link on pruno was most educational. I don't intend to ever concoct anything so utterly vile, but that there are those who will go to such great lengths to do so is rather instructive about human nature in certain situations. I have a feeling that the mold that collects in it has something to do with its high psychoactive potency.

Now just to find someone to film this and put it up on YouTube....God, I could imagine everything scrolling in front of my eyes.

LM, you is BAD, man. I especially liked the bit about getting 15 resignations back when he had sent out 10 letters. Snerk!

I've been thinking the Rudy G. things were pretty nasty, but this script beats those.

This has to be an official transcript. There is no way that this conversation didn't take place.
