in case you have'nt done it yet - i recommend everybody to go read "chickenhawk" ASAP. it's a great book - funny, cruel, and downright crazy book about - well, you know what it's about. a real pearl in the middle of all the usual BS.

Hell, I remember reading Chickenhawk back in the early 90's. Great read then and still is. I also enjoyed his follow up autobiography but I can't remember the name of it at this time.
