        was he tragically hip?

        Was he so bad that he was actually good?

                I've heard of the band, but have never actually heard them.

                                        @scottalanmiller When i was a kid, in the fall my friends and i would get our wiffle bats and go outside during dusk time. There would be hundreds of flying ants or termites, and we would just smack them for a while. They dont exist anymore from what i can tell when i go back home.

                                          I've definitely noticed a drop in "things flying around." It's nothing like it was when I was a kid.

                                            I would agree - while my car still has lots of bug splatters, it's a fraction of what it was 20 years ago.
