Wow! I didn't think that the very first response would contain four things I'd done by the age of nine! (And one thing I saved for Europe.)

-Listened to a Republican speech without sighing or grunting
-Eaten tuna casserole (the smell is enough!)
-Seen a zombie film other than the original "Night of the Living Dead" (I don't think the "Thriller" video really counts!)
-Ingested cocaine (no small achievement growing up in L.A. during the seventies)
-Been invited to an orgy (I'm afraid clothing optional Dungeons & Dragons games don't really count)

Do you think he has?

I have, however, been to a club on my own, and I left on my own, and I went home and I cried and I wanted to die. That's what I was doing instead of getting my heart broken in little pieces. I think the avatar is pretty appropriate!

I just see him as being the type that heartbroken grad students would naturally gravitate towards the way they do with Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell or John Cale's Paris 1919.
