CD's from Omnium Records (home of Boiled In Lead, Cordelia's Dad, and the
late, lamented 3 Mustaphas 3) come with a post card inside for ordering
information on their recordings. There is a muted post horn stamp drawn
where the real stamp is to be affixed.

Back in '67 I had a muted post horn engraved on one side of a Zippo with
W.A.S.T.E. above it and D.E.A.T.H. below, forming a ring. Lost it in a
shootout in a rubber plantation between Nha Trang and Cam Ranh. It was a
good device for finding other Pyn-heads.
