since josh has been the only person to answer the call so far - seems some of you either 1. have lives 2. are a bunch of douchebags or 3. don't know how to use these newfangled interweb screens - i'm going to post his wikipath.

ryan sabourin is in the midst of finding his wikipath but he has decided to make it a goal-oriented venture - starting with his homework assignment "onions", he's going to try to get to 80s christian heavy metal band STRYPER.

here's josh's wikipath:

Tiny Tim: I think Tiny Tim sucks. Sorry--personal opinion. The only thing I can think of that is worse than sitting through a song sung by Tiny Tim would have to be reading a Wikipedia entry about him. I read the first paragraph and found out he's Lebanese and Polish and that he's actually a good musician ... Whatever ... Scanning the links ... Nothing all too interesting ... Here we go;

YTMND: I've always liked YTMND and had no idea what it stood for ... Mostly because I didn't really care. Turns out it stands for "You're The Man Now Dog." That's pretty funny. Somewhere on the page it mentions Scientology and one of my favorite subjects of all time ...

The Sea Org: "... the Sea Org subsequently became the upper management group within the Church of Scientology. It operated for eight years in the Mediterranean Sea and over this time controlled a number of ships ..." So awesome. I don't really care that much to read about this though, so I clicked on ....

Mediterranean Sea: I never realized that the Mediterranean Sea is sub-divided into a number of smaller seas. Too many to list here! I guess that's useful on some level ... If you live around there. I kept reading about the Mediterranean sea for a while, but that got pretty fuckin' boring so I decided to see what Wiki had to say about ...

EMPEROR: "Emperor is a Norwegian black metal band formed in 1991." ... "In the summer of 1992, a series of events were set in motion by the black metal inner circle. Members of Mayhem and Samoth, along with various other black metallers, set out to burn down the ancient churches of Norway. Also in 1992, Faust was in Lillehammer to see the newly constructed Olympic park. A homosexual man named Rhys Adamec approached him and suggested that they go together in the nearby forest. Faust agreed, and once in the forest, stabbed the man to death. He was not convicted until a year later. After Faust committed the murder, he went with members of Mayhem to burn bibles and hymnals at a nearby ski-jump. In the summer of 1993, the band began working on their first full-length record. Emperor were supported by the famous British group Cradle of Filth on tour, and after this tour the band ceased wearing corpse paint; they stated that it was becoming a trend and losing its original significance and symbolism. In the autumn of that year, the police began to investigate the murder of Euronymous of Mayhem, naming Varg Vikernes (of Burzum) as a suspect; this investigation eventually led to the incarceration of Samoth for arson, and of Faust for the murder of the homosexual man in Lillehammer."

Gotta love the Olympic Ski Jump - Black Metal combo. After reading some other crap I decided to click on some other band.

Borknagar: I was hoping this would have something to do with the Swedish Chef from the Muppet Show, but I was sadly mistaken. It turns out Borknager is just some prog band from Norway. And guess what! They sing about space, paganism, philosophy and nature ... It's nice to see a prog band branch out ...

Swedish Chef: "Nearly all Swedish Chef sketches begin with him in a kitchen, waving some utensils while singing his signature song in a trademark mock Swedish; a semi-comprehensible gibberish which parodies the characteristic vowel sounds of Swedish. The opening song usually sounds possibly something like: "Yorn desh born, der ritt de gitt der gue, Orn desh, dee born desh, de umn børk! børk! børk!", but in fact changes subtly in every episode. The last line of the song is always "Børk! Børk! Børk!", and is punctuated by him throwing the utensils over his shoulder to crash into the crockery behind. Although the letter "ø" does not exist in Swedish—it is a Danish/Norwegian letter whose Swedish equivalent is "ö"—the Chef's trademark word is nearly universally represented as "Børk". The vowel pronounced, however, is an "o", not ø/ö. The statement makes sense in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian if the final consonant is interpreted as a T, rather than a K; "Bort bort bort" means "away away away", and is precisely what a real-life Swedish chef would say if he was getting rid of (for instance) useless kitchen utensils."

It turns out there was once a Swedish Chef themed breakfast cereal ...

Cröonchy Stars: "Originally, Jim Henson created the name of the cereal as "Stoopid Flakes". However, this did not sit well with Post. They renamed the breakfast cereal into Cröonchy Stars." ... Sweet. there's a reference in this page to ...

Spin̈al Tap: Turns out they're not a real band ... Who would've guessed?
