[kj] Anonymity

[bongo]

i quite liked this when i read it...

"A guy walks up to me and asks 'What's Punk?'. So I kick over a
garbage can and say 'That's punk!'. So he kicks over the garbage can
and says 'That's Punk?', and I say 'No that's trendy!"

...a quote from http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=punk
