What the fuck is a "kicker"? And I dunno. I see Bill Clinton more as one of the lazy kids that, although they kinda pissed you off sometimes, you and everyone else basically liked them fairly well or at least couldn't hate them too much. Whackos don't count; they hate everyone. Maybe a pothead.

If you think about it, though, American society in general is basically anti-intellectual. If you look at a lot of popular movies (which, I think, often seem to be a fair indication of opinions at the time), the "nerd" only wins out when he (or she, I suppose) denounces their nerd-dom and becomes eternally like the popular kids--stupid, anti-learning, and only content to look attractive. Or whatever. I've forgotten what I was getting at.

I am impressed at how many words you got for "n". I wouldn't have been able to get that many at all without taking a survey of everyone on my buddy lists first to get ideas.

In the Ward symphony, there's one long section where basically it drops into six or seven flats unofficially. I use B (second finger, straight on) instead of Cb (scooted back third finger). Does that mean I'm a slacker and unworthy of my true pitched status?
