First, I'm flattered that you are my friend. That's how it is, for sure. I didn't think anyone remembered the Fire Marshal stuff any more (now that there are no rules, no body cares.)

Yeah, the head-desk is what I do at work from time to time.

I can best answer with a story (imagine that...) about Knot. He came to me to learn drumming. After a while, he said to me, "I like the drumming, but I don't want to do that Arabic stuff." I said that it was okay with me. Some time later, I ran into him and his lady at an event, where they had set up an opulent "day camp" that over-shadowed my own setting. So, I had to pull out more stuff, and the next event, so did they. He kept dressing more and more Arabic... She said that they were "trying to out do the Dur."

Eventually I asked him why, after he had told me that he had no interest in the culture, that he started to adopt it. He said, "People would ask me questions about the culture for which I knew nothing. When I told them that, they said 'But, you're a drummer!' like I was endowed with a special power of knowing things. Well, that got me looking things up to get answers, and it was interesting, and I started using the stuff." He added, "My lady really likes this too, now that we found it."

I laughed, and said "You know, that same thing happened to me too!"

(I really don't have to make stuff up, because life is so strange!)
