I'm joking abouyt the Sykamore Boyette...heheh

it was Trainspotting, but also the classic punk rock song by GBH

I'm strapped into my bed,
Electrodes in my head.
My nerves are really bad,
It's the best time I ever had.

I'm a sick boy
And there's no cure.
I'm a sick boy,
There should be more.

But I'm happy the way I am,
Like a sardine in a can.
People taking notes,
People in white coats.

I'm a sick boy
And there's no cure.
I'm a sick boy,
There should be more.

But I'm happy the way I am,
Like a sardine in a can.
People taking notes,
People in white coats.

I'm a sick boy
And there's no cure.
I'm a sick boy,
There should be more.

I see school girls everywhere,
Short skirts and pigtailed hair.
But why must I suffer,
For being a gymslip lover?

I'm a sick boy
And there's no cure.
I'm a sick boy,
There should be more.


but, um, no, I'm not a gymslip lover....

[Dravyk]

Dravyk is actually not a Russian/Balkan name

... It's a science fiction one. One I and an old writing partner came up with decades ago writing some SF. Captain Aran Dravyk of the Privateer ship "The Rapier".

Yes, geek!

I was getting my first SLIP/PPP account (dialup to you youngins) and they wanted a name for my Internet account. Everything I came up with, someone else already had, so they said "well you can have that name, but with a 5 after it or a 143 after the name". I said, "no, I don't do that AOL shit! No numbers!" ... After a dozen different tries, I knew they couldn't possibly have "dravyk", and there you have it.
