Reminds me of a story.

This was back in the old days before printers, for all you tadpoles out there.

About 20 years ago, starting at some point I do not know, there appeared on random buses in the Hollywood area this "old guy" that dressed up like a general and rode around.

He had an army surplus officer's uniform and lots and lots and lots and lots of ribbons and stripes and bars and medals. If memory serves, he did not have any patches not directly connected to consumer product items.

He even had little plastic airplanes, the little two inch custom/leftover colored injected deals from China, pinned on his suit AND his cap.

He passed out these weird flyers. Homespun jobs with lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of little tiny writing about stuff that stopped making sense roughly 60 characters from the beginning of the composition and which were then cut out, arranged, and pasted at obscure angles all over the Original Master Work. Then he would have a few hundred made up on colored paper at Kinkos copy place and ride the LA bus around Hollywood.

But he had some style. He put little graphics that he had cut out at random spots on the flyers and he picked good random spots. Aesthetically, he had potential. And he appeared to me to be friendly; he got along with everyone else on the bus and passed out The Word and everything.

That's kinda how AS seems to me, kinda. Except the General wasn't like getting mean and semi-cyberpostal and stuff.
