  1. I think you brainwashed me. In psychotic breakdowns and even some sane times subsequent to my adolescence when I obsessed over this an others of these flyers, I did many of these things. I still do some of them. You are wonderful for what you do. Thank you.

  2. This made such an impression on my as a 15-year old. The title still jumps into my head, 19 years later. I think my chains are little filings, blown asunder my the winds of time, by now. Thanks to Abrupt for making this so. The cataclysm? Consider it invoked.

    1. Years later I just rediscovered my copy of this flyer which was given to me in 1992 while working at a record store. Still brilliant today.
