don't cast pearls before swine... that's how it goes, right? i mean Jesus said it and everything (matthew 7.6) but here is another take on that perhaps? use it, don't use it... i've been listening to a song by the foo fighters (what is foo? do you think they maybe originally started out as 'the flu fighters' and then someone typo'd their name and the rest is history... and if you started a band and [...]
