Samy also wrote COYOTE VS. ACME, so this was a double pleasure.

I find less to like about Tate the more I read about him -- and the press clips on his website make it seem like he has terrible judgment about what constitutes "good" and "bad" coverage -- so I'm leaning towards Curran Stikuts, who has years of working at the 519 and is endorsed by KWT.

Ever try cycling? A slight incline does wonders for me when I'm trying to release years of pent-up grief and rage.

I have just discovered that David Essex wrote a concept album in 1983 inspired by the HMS Bounty, and now you share this poisonous knowledge.

Lots of good points here. I learned to drive stick in my thirties -- Kate had a manual car -- and while the transition was initially terrifying I really love it now. The fact that it requires constant attention to the car as well as the road is a bonus.
