Its more like a reconfiguration of the truth for presentation purposes. :) You may remember me from such subject lines as "TMBG Trading Cards Are For Real" or "The Meaning of Shoehorn with Teeth Finally Explained". When I used "TMBG Hits 21!" I was trying to make it seem like it might have something to do with Blackjack. I screwed up though. I was thinking "hitting 21" was an expression for getting Blackjack. I thought it might seem like it had something to do with TMBG's Vegas show last year. Turns out I gotta brush up on my gambling jargon. By the way, if I *was* writing about TMBG in Vegas, I might have called it, "TMBG Did Not Hit 21" because at an L.A. show a few days after the Vegas gig, Linnell mentioned that Flans lost a lot of money at the Casino. Which is not to say that he even played Blackjack but ...well, you get the idea. -B O N G O ------------------------------ From: Alterian@aol.com Message-ID: <50.3a2b1cc.261d30a8@aol.com> Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2000 20:13:28 EDT Subject: TMBG:Comp speech programs We have that software where you can speak into the computer and it writes the words on the screen...except it never seems to work right with hilarious results.
