It has always been a dream of mine to be the leader of an extensive organization that could field eccentric, but brilliant people to do amazing things - and at the core there would be a group of solid friends who would go with me on all sorts of adventures around the world. And we would also have a band.
Which sums up my fascination with The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension - what, were these guys reading my mind or something? If I were Dr. Banzai 
I'd have the black bus, tricked-out laboratory (with the super-strong watermelon in the hydraulic press) and Blue Blaze Irregulars across New Jersey - oh, and of course, the
rocket truck complete with over-thruster (so that we could go through solid matter and enter the Eighth Dimension). Too Cool. And every Sunday we'd have waffles at the Institute. Come on and sign up today!

This post has left me speechless.
What kind of madness is this?
Well, sign me up. I think.
I just noticed you've listed Portishead in your profile. I didn't think they ever managed to make their way over the Atlantic, so I congratulate you as being the first American I know who has found pleasure in the world of David Arnold. Have you heard his album of James Bond Theme covers? Magic.
C'mon guys, get with the program and watch this movie! You won't be disappointed.
I haven't zeroed in on a definite name for our organization yet, but I'll keep you posted.
Of course, pancakes will be available to all (as will french toast), because no one can live on waffles alone (although I'd sure give it a try!). And yes, Kit Ten, you can play the keytar (how 80s!!).
Alex! I never told you I liked Portishead? Great stuff - got turned on to them from an Irish friend in 1995. I'll have to check out the Bond covers (sounds brilliant).
