Ok, so we're lazy.  At least we try to keep things interesting, and I'd
venture to say that we Pyn-Heads can flame with the best of the techno's. 
And, while you may think that this list is _too_ *whatever*, please keep in
mind that we're waiting for the Arrival of Something that most of us have
been waiting 24 years for, so we're a little obnoxious and giddy.    

Damn--did that last line sound Heaven's Gate-ish, or what???
