Okay, the amount of responses I got from people actually interested in
buying said frisbee sort of justified the suspicion I had that no one on
IDM actually READS the posts they're replying to (or understands my
somewhat cryptic/self-gratifying banter). I also assumed that some of you
had seen the Skam frisbee (it does not glow in the dark nor contain the
Wham-O logo anywhere within it's design aesthetic). The lock grooves do not
contain music, unless the trackmaster/ortofon damaging din amplified at a
certain 2nd anniversary show for a certain Boston-based collective is
deemed 'catchy'.

BOC? Godzilla? Blue Oyster Cult? Anyone?
I'm horribly, horribly old. And lonely. -Våt.

BTW- I've got my money on Portman, sorry Kid. Ricci is fine and all & is
turning out to be a rather saucy 99% hussy playing hollywood fixture (did
anyone else see the short film version of 'Red Riding Hood' on IFC where
she strips? I kid you not. Really naughty. Wolf is played by some
post-Baryshnikov Russian ballet type, who feeds her the skin of her
recently-stiff grandma), but Portman's going places. 'The Professional'?
Anyone? Amazing stuff, a bit ethically challenging perhaps but so, so
engrossing. Even if she never made another movie (which I kind of hoped
after seeing 'Mars') she'd be a whole page in my sticker collection.
Ricci's got one scratch n' sniff at best.
