> shoot, I meant "he is a bastard", I knew I should have > studied in high school.lol. Oh, no. He's a "bastad'", too... (And now that I've had a semi-request for the story...:) At Conjecture, Brust was playing guitar and singing songs in his room Saturday night (holding Court, basicly:) and he dedicated a song to me. Which was great! What was the song?: "Hard Lovin' Loser" by Richard Farina (lyrics, if you're interested: http://sniff.numachi.com/~rickheit/dtrad/pages/tiHARDLOSE.html I tried REALLY hard to be offended, but I don't think it came across right through my huge smile and burning cheeks... Yeah, he's a bastad' alright... It takes one to know one, afterall... <grin> ;) Chris "Blind man's night is music to the deaf, and everyone has *two* paths, not one, whence comes tragedy and comedy, forsooth and damn straight, son." - "The Gypsy" - Brust & Lindholm
