Check out some of the lyrics on the official site. If you look at the lyrics
for Ultimate Sac. for example and look at the bottom, you see that it is
copyright Hair Sucker and Ewell Creme songs. Hair Sucker is, I believe one of
Darren's ventures if I'm not mistaken. Could Ewell Creme be Sledge's?

Subject: STOP THE SPAMMING
Dear Internet User:
To start let me say this, I'm tired of the porn email in my email box and
all that click here crap. I'm a published author in the United States,
Germany and Japan. I've spend seven hours or more a day for the last two
months researching the topic of Spam on the Internet. I've learned a lot
about SMTP blocking, reporting Spam, and blocking your email account from
being spammed. In this time I have practiced everything I have learned in
blocking this crap mail they call professional advertising and in the last few
weeks I have not yet received one piece of Spam. I wrote a full report on
this process I have developed and did some research on how to get this
information around to the right people. I've contacted many spammers and did
some price research, what better way to find the Spam haters then to find the
spammer that is spamming them. I've talked to many well known bulkers as they
like to be called and we made the agreement that I will get to advertise to
there list in return for a profit break. I'm forced to sell my report for the
reason to pay the advertising fee and keep me alive but on the bright side you
will learn to fight against the horrible porn mail in your email box. Please
join me in fighting this horrible advertising method that has been on the
Internet for years. Remember, "Together we stand, divided we fall."
To order my detailed report and provide your help in fighting spam send $15 to
the address below and lets all, together, put a stop to spam once and for all.
K.C. Smith

Thank you for your support in this matter.
Your friend and best man in fight against spam.

Subject: Mr. Henry
Hi all -
I was curious about Jill's link to the Mr. Henry's page, and I listened to
some sound clips. Interesting stuff. Kinda like what I heard (it's late
and I only got to hear 2 clips). Sounds more like Counting Crows than BFF,
but that's okay. I'm wondering, as I saw on their website, that some
former members were from Ben Folds Five, if anyone knows about this, and
which BFF member was involved in this project?
Thanks - Kristin

Subject: Trivia Question - how obssessed are you?
Aiight armchairers, here's a question for you. I have way too much time on my
hands, as you'll be able to tell:
In which song(s) does Ben actually refer to himself by his first name? Here's
a hint: we're not talking mainstream stuff here.
Have fun with this one. I'll post the answer in a day or two. We should do
trivia more often. And hey- if anyone finds any more toxic popsicle, majosha
(other than shut up and listen to...), armageddon, or anything cool, mail me.
See y'alls,
Jon.
PS, am I the only one who's seen Ben stand on the piano and pull his pants
down in concert?
