nice catch on her part of the mellowing of the screaming coming across
the sky into the song "Wipeout", tho' if the part I saw and noted the phrase in
- but failed to sense the reference - was the place she's referring to, the
match is inexact (but now that's she's mentioned it...)

- it's sort of like
the Jarretiere sequences in V. and in AGTD
(or AGFTD as Campbel Morgan
once typed in a hurry, or did he mean to refer to the alternative
courier system, FTD?)

but although she caught it, not being a fan it doesn't signify the same to her
as it did to me - mellowing of viewpoint, revisiting with a smile

on another topic: whenever I read "signifying chain", I always
think "signifying monkey" -- is that to be expected?
