I recognized “OK Computer” as Radiohead, but not the other reference. Cute. ---

> [@Rebo](#): > > I’m hipper than **FCM**! At least I’ve heard of Radiohead. But I didn’t get the joke at all. Me, too, but I still don’t see the humor. \*Now get off my sidewalk! \* Ok, I went to wikipedia and looked around a bit and yes, I see the humor (if one can call it that). Maybe nobody laughed because it’s not all that funny? Or is this a ruse used to lull them as you clean their clocks in poker? ---

Just the other day I asked an on-line group whether anyone else thought the Timex Social Club was gunning for Fleetwood Mac, and no one responded. Hurt my widdle-bitty heart, it did. ---
