[kj] Quiet? How long here & why

[Jari Pakarinen]

I've been here since 97/98, got the T-shirt and the Unspeakable. I  
was off the list for a while, can't remember why though. List was run  
by Michael J. Salo back then...

First heard the Joke on a punk compilation, song was The Wait.  
Compilation was called Ambitiuous something if I remember correctly.
