Um... this is gong back a bit, but does my name ring any bells to some seasoned members?

Excerpt from Wikipedia

"Soma (Sanskrit), or Haoma (Avestan), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *sauma-, was a ritual drink of importance among the early Indo-Iranians, and the later Vedic and greater Persian cultures. It is frequently mentioned in the Rigveda, which contains many hymns praising its energizing or intoxicating qualities. In the Avesta, Haoma has an entire Yasht dedicated to it."

It's also a song by the Smashing Pumpkins.

Haha. The other day my SO's friend tore his pants after bending over. Promptly stated his discontent and how he would have to purchase new pants. "Ending is better than mending!" I chimed in. Got some weird stares.
In case anyone wondered, these are quotes from Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Soma is the drug the citizens use.

Starbuline has very good taste. :wink: Buy "Siamese Dream": you won't be disappointed. It's a superb album and I don't think they ever produced anything else even half way as good. Plus I'm sure Billy Corgan has some Aspie traits.
