      Camarillo Brillo is a reference to the effect of intense use of psychofarmaca       to one's hair (it gets dry and hard to manage, as if it is that metal sponge       used for cleaning pots and pans) and indeed Camarillo is a reference to one of       the largest mental        hospitals in California.        Mendocino beano is a reference to the dilated pupils you would typically see       in the faces of people who attended the various art & music events in that       Californian town.               --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
