* Michael L. Kagan, 47, was convicted in San Francisco
in February of manslaughter in the 1992 shooting death
of local rock musician Philip Bury, who was the leader
of Buck Naked and the Bare Bottom Boys. According to
testimony, Kagan killed Bury for abusing pigeons in
Golden Gate Park early one morning. Kagan had been
spending over $1,000 a month feeding pigeons and had
threatened several times to shoot people and dogs who
bother the pigeons. [San Francisco Chronicle, 1-29-94,
2-9-94]
Hm. This is (was) the same Rev. Buck Naked that associated with the
Church? I wasn't aware he had been killed.

I was watching TV. Just sitting there on the couch, minding my own business,
wondering what was going to happen to the characters when the show came back
after the commercial.
A commercial began. They spoke so fast in the introduction that if you were
thinking about the show, you would completely miss what they said, which I did.
I saw girls in bathing suits, and I said to myself, in the corner of my
thoughts: "oh, this must be a beer commercial".
Quick cut to a grill. A piece of meat, rectangular, was laying on the grill.
Grill marks and all. It looked like a slab of teryaki. I thought to myself,
"Hmmmm. Doesn't look like a beer commercial", and I began to pay closer
attention to the ad.
What happened next so completely blew my mind that I didn't even laugh for
about thirty seconds. I just sat there, stunned at what I had seen.
A logo came onto the screen. Underneath a picture of a burger.
"Spamburger", it said.
Then, it showed people having fun in typical beer commercial fashion. Quick cut
to a picture of a can of Spam. People having fun.
"Have a Spamburger," they said. "And be cool like us" was implicit in the way
it was said.
I went into my bedroom, where my computer is kept, and I sat in front of the
computer.
And then I laughed.
Afterwards, I wondered what the implications of Spam Jake Day on this event are.
Or are going to be.
heh heh.
