I have it in mind some day to
write a tribute of sorts to
"IHCOYC XPICTOC" of alt.gothic
(now largely moved on to doing     Truly an excellent writer,
some very studly wikipedia         and a misanthrope that    
writing).                          makes me look like a 
                                   cheerful optimist. 
   As a placeholder for now, 
   I present some quotes:

   "Turn Your Head and Spit"

      From: IHCOYC XPICTOC <gustavus@shell1.iglou.com>
      Date: 26 Dec 2000 02:23:36 -0500
      Subject: [rant] Turn your head and spit

       By anybody's reckoning, the twentieth century
       will be finally, absolutely, and utterly dead
       come this New Year's Day.

       Do this.  Do one thing for me.  Turn your head
       over your left shoulder, and spit. Spit upon
       the twentieth century, and by this act, show
       your disdain for having ever lived during it.
       Let its name hereafter be a byword among you.

       [...]

       The actual results of Democracy in action only
       demonstrate that most people are the same old
       eternal peasants they have ever been: believing
       in the gods and the spirits of their ancestors,
       fearing witches and strangers, waiting for the
       priest to tell them what to think and a man on
       a white horse to tell them what to do.
       Equality only makes their votes count as much
       as yours.
