a car called fugazi

a car called fugazi, near the office

This one's for you, Darren. I saw it parked near work on the way to lunch. Does this look like the kind of car a Fugazi fan would drive ? Would Ian MacKaye and the lads approve ? Does it reflect their intent, all-ages seriousness ?

I remember seeing the car with the "unix" license plate in the early 1990's, a white, clapped-out holden gemini - not that this reflects upon Unix itself, merely the kind of friendly bearded geeks who espoused its virtues in those days. The car I saw with a "linux" license plate in the late 1990's was a Toyota Camry, I think. What does it all mean ? This is the first car I can recall seeing that has a band name for a license plate (but maybe I don't get out enough ?).

This must be the week of weird plates. After Ahab, I saw "YAMIHOT" - is this a question? If it is, I don't know why the driver is hot - plain white EB Falcons are not, on the whole, hot. I'm not sure the Fugazu lads would be into the whole car thing. Maybe the plate would work better on a beaten up old panel van, something with enough room to carry the amps, the kit and the guitar cases.

You mean like on the cover of The Aints' _Autocannibalism_ ? see http://www.tt.net/hot/kuepper/ac.html

(and note the license plate on that one, too ;)
