I'm posting this here as well as in /systemnews in case you are smart and don't read that page:

A few problems this afternoon around 2:30. Should be fixed now. This was a temporary situation as I put the "big fix" in place that should (I haven't been able to confirm yet) fix the massive problem with some versions of IE and Opera on the MacOS. Let me know if you notice anything screwy. Thanks.

You were probably unable to post or edit for several minutes and there was some weirdness with some of the photos. Should be fixed now.
For Linda: Oink!

looks like i have to cancell my grand idea of going to providence for the first butthole usa show in 5 years which was a place i could get backstage and hook up with the band, nyc more tough--jim just more proff the WPFT is fading:>)!!
I was afraid that the president might order the Butthole Surfers tour canceled. Not for any specific reason, but because it’s just not the sort of thing America needs at the moment...
They always have at least one intolerable song on each album, and this time it’s Jet Fighter. Rendered timely by recent events, it’s a sort of Sky Pilot turned inside out for the new war. If they have any sense of propriety they won’t be playing it live.
Ha!

Jet Fighter

Jet fighters never die...

Mikey was a little boy he loved to watch the clouds
He was born to fly
Mikey joined the navy his father was quite proud
Mother never wanted it that way
He got into the cockpit and rose up in the sky
Set his sights on Beirut then he let his missiles fly

Boom boom

Jet fighters never die
I don’t know but I’ve been told
It’s been said that god is dead
Jet fighters never cry
Jet fighters never die

The general smoked a Cuban blunt hand rolled by the Reds
Then he poured a glass of scotch and tallied up the dead...

The fighter banked into the night then he caught a SAM
He rose up into heaven with Jesus in his hand
Scenery was so beautiful could not believe his eyes
Then he spotted John Wayne he knew he had arrived
Jesus interrupted him he had something to tell
They had to speak with Allah and he sent them both to Hell

Boom boom
Fire Paul Wolfowitz
Bum rush for return to Irony
