Here's the best Fruscription I've ever personally heard: What does Moxy Früvous sound like? They don't sound like anything. Let me try: they sound like the Roches meet XTC at a party thrown by Camper Van Beethoven for Robyn Hitchcock's marriage to Cole Porter with They Might Be Giants as wedding band and Tom Leher acting as minister, but just as everyone starts singing old Queen songs the party is crashed by the entire cast of the Muppet Show. Moxy Früvous is that good take care...

But I think it is possible and desirable to disagree civilly, without resorting to prejudice and insult. That's what got my dander up. Whether the effect is intended or not, stereotypes are demeaning and show contempt on a grand scale for a whole class of people, and I don't think that has any place in a reasoned discussion. In fact it makes everyone overlook the merits of what may be a valid point, because all we see is what looks like hatred. And Lord knows there's enough of that in this world and on the internet without bringing it into this ng. (Which I like to look at as a safe haven from idiocy in general.)

They turned out fairly good, and no one was blinded.... What, no photos of Loudon?? Sacrilege... Good to see that this covered flash technique actually works. Now lets all put it to good use!

Sadly, The Bottom Line does not sell tickets via telephone or the Internet, nor through any ticket agency like Ticketmaster or Ticketweb. It's cash at the box office, or no tickets. This means that you should be particularly nice to your NYC friends when you see them next, as you just might need this favor. That, or just remember to pick up your tickets at the box office the next time you're traipsing through the West Village looking for the perfect leather whip.
