So it was you who wrote: "I wonder who is paying you, or is this the
only 
way you have any fun, being paralyzed from the knees up to your skinhead 
head."

Personally, I sorta miss the Satanic Chuckling Dude myself. (Though I
couldn't figure out whether I was meant to be a puppet, a puppet's
piper, or a bootlicker, even after I had checked out all my old Blue
Öyster Cult albums.)

Funny idea of "fun".
