let me tell you a story
when I was a kid, in the mid 60s I guess, my parents took me and my brother 
to the lake balaton, probably riding us in their DKW car, a beautiful red 
car with a weird german built. all I remember is that we were in a quite 
big hotel and there was an orchestra when we dined, maybe you have been to 
this hotel. one evening the orchestra played a twist tune, my small brother 
got in front of the stage and danced the twist alone in the dining room 
while people were eating. another day I was outside and there was a small 
bridge over a pond in the middle of a square. As I walked on the pond, 
somehow I fell into the water and didn't know how to swim. I was drowning 
with my eyes open and I could see the small baby frogs, they do not look 
like frogs at all they have this flat tail and big head with just eyes, 
they are black and they look at a little kid drowning in the water and they 
float in the yellow water with bits of plants too. But some man picked me 
out of the water and saved me. Afterwards he gave me a GUM badge.

>(and why did you not subscribe to nettime?)

I did subscribe to nettime but I had to unsubscribe because of fascistic 
enforcement of propaganda during the kosovo war. I made sure I was heard 
slamming the door behind me. They were yelling victory to the KLA.
