- Hammer used to be called M.C. Hammer, but after he got really big, he
- dropped M.C., thus distancing himself somewhat from the hardcore Rap scene
- and making himself more accessible to suburban while males who think he's
- tough, but not "too black."
-
- Madonna never did use her last name, and see how much it held her back?
-
- So I'm thinking of dropping "Pig" from my name, and just going by
- "Bandwidth." IRC has forced this on me, it's not my fault, I'm just
- adapting to an exigency, plus, it's really really cool and I LOVE cool.
-
- Whaddaya think?
-
- I'm gonna go downstairs now and try it out on the Indians at the Chinese
- restaurant.
-
- "Yo, babe, check out my stylin' and profilin'!"
-
- Oh, yeah, and I gotta get a hair dryer that runs on local voltage without
- exploding. Saw one in a neighborhood hardware store last night that costs
- less than a new converter box.
-
- "And it makes a splendid going-away present for your host."
-
- The best going-away present would be not having someone around who debates
- the finer points of net handles all the time. But Adrian seemed genuinely
- intrested...
-
- What to do, what to do. Today the camera gets loaded with film, pictures
- get taken, I range afar on foot with the tourist thang. Wonder if GT will
- miss me while I'm gone...
