Wow, that takes me back -- and well away from nappies and  
linguistics .... ;)

Credit for the "Orgone Ale" plan (as Jon describes above) is really  
due to Michael "Tox" Donahue, once upon a time at least briefly of  
this list, and likewise the bass player in Ossian's Ride, a band I  
had in round about 1994 or so.  I did a lot of homebrewing back then,  
and whilst we car-less band members lounged  around waiting for  
automotively-enabled members of the band to pick us up for rehearsal,  
we used to consume freely of the fruits of my labours -- which did  
little for our rehearsing powers, but did enable us to foment (and  
ferment!) such ideas as the "Orgone Ale". :)

Cheers,
Carl
