[kj] projectile vomiting

[Alexander Smith]

Ready your slings and arrows, but I have nothing against either the Bee 
Gees or Abba. For a start, the Bee Gees had a sparkling back catalog 
even before the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack (if you can't 
appreciate the pop genius of "Lonely Days," you have anuses for ears). 
Likewise with Abba. I mean, if you have to listen to pop, it certainly 
doesn't come in any finer form than Abba. You can also thank them for 
inspiring the riff (via "S.O.S") for the `Pistols' "Pretty Vacant."
