Just bought the new ABBA book. C`mon nobody responded to my Omega poll.
If you want to discuss the career of Tom Waits here go for it. But
getting back to ABBA I personally voted for Agnetha.

Got to be honest with you, I wouldn't know Bjorn fron
Agnesta. But I know the music. Via AM radio when I was a kid. So I didn't vote in the poll. Always sounded like a broadway musical to me. (hmmmm. ------------- Wearing feelings on our faces when our faces took a rest... |

This has to be the work of big BAAd maani. How can this fall
under the category of discusions not related to music ? I was in love
with Agnetha as a child. She was my progstress. How dare maani move
this important thread. I shall not eat cereal until this thread is
reinstated into the appropriate sub-heading. And my dogs are not too
happy about this move either.

For the procedure, the Clown uses an instrument called a Clownoscope
The scope is a long, flexible tube, no bigger around than your finger. It is equipped on one end with a tiny video camera. The Clown "steers" the scope through the intestine while viewing images on a video screen. The scope is also equipped with several tools, depending on what the Clown may need. For example, tools can inject air and water, take tissue samples, and remove Crimson Prince.

For visual impact, Agnetha. Although normally I don't like blondes. I don't agree with the ABBA bashing going on here (and elsewhere). They made a number of great songs (SOS, Fernando, One of us, The day before you came, Eagle, Our last summer, Summernight city, Does your mother know) and one absolute classic (The winner takes it all). |

Sez you.... How does that one go? "I cross the street -- I have big feet...." Brilliant, just brilliant! Wasn't "The Day Before You Came" originally a Blancmange song? Too drunk, I suppose....

Not forgotten, Syzygy, merely airbrushed out of their history due to the "pickled fish" incident of 1981 - similar to the Rolling Stones/Marianne Faithful "Mars Bar" incident... but with more batter   -------------
