I realized this after I pressed enter. Gemeinschaft means community or organization, IIRC. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ShibbOleth \* > \*\*Hey, **Roj** , just 'cause you like to quote Pink Floyd doesn’t mean you have to emulate Syd Barrett. \*\* _Act_ually, the guys at Capitol Records make you sign this thing once you’ve quoted Pink Floyd or the members of Pink Floyd any more than a collective 47 times, which is a legally binding contract **forcing** you to emulate Syd Barrett. It’s rough. But I buttered my bread, now I gotta sleep in it. Or however it goes. Well, I’m off to tape daffodils to my forehead and lace my condiments with LSD. And then I gotta get another perm…dammit! ---
