I guess we had enough of our own stoner bands (or stoned-friendly bands) with the likes of Pink Floyd; Yes; Jethro Tull; Hawkwind; Ozric Tentacles; Emerson, Lake & Palmer, etc.

Though American acts like Frank Zappa and Canadian acts like Rush made inroads.

I like OG Tabasco on fish pie and lasagne. Don’t know why but none of my other hot sauces sit right with those two meals.

I have a letter opener made by my great uncle for my grandfather.

What makes it interesting is that my great uncle worked as a mechanic for the RAF, keeping Spitfires flying during the Battle of Britain and the letter opener is made from discarded parts from Spitfires he worked on. Not sure what the blade was, some small strut or something, I suppose, and the handle is made of different-sized washers.

This is one of those questions where the answer will probably change from day to day.

Today I’ll say Count Zero, the middle book of William Gibson’s Cyberpunk trilogy. It built on the ideas he explored in Neuromancer and was tighter and less rambling than Mona Lisa Overdrive.

Thanks, fixed!

32 - That was how old I was just before my metabolism slowed down, my muscles gave up and waved a little white flag, and without any warning at all, I was suddenly a fat bastard.
