I passed a car on the highway
today while on my way to work. It had a sticker on the back bumper - a white oval with a black border and the
letters PI in black in the center. Now, I know this style of sticker is popular in the US to mimic Euro-style
stickers that indicate country of origin. People here often use them to indicate their hometown. All the same, I
couldn\'t help but think it was a moner identifying himself to those in the know (that\'s a great idea, by the
way, Bruce...I\'d by a sticker with \"A1\" on it). I wanted to signal him as I passed to show that I
acknowledge his mone-ness, but realized that, even on the off chance that he really was a moner, there is no readily
identifiable way to salute him without making him think I\'m either flipping him off or trying to make a pass at
him. So I thought, we need a signal to indicate our membership in what I like to call the Society of Worldwide
Exogenous Androgen Testers, or SWEAT for short.
Think of it. It would be cool when you see someone tearing
it up just like you in the local club to be able to smile, signal, and acknowledge that you respect his mix. By
smiling and signalling back, he could acknowledge his membership in SWEAT, and perhaps lay on you the ultimate moner
compliment \"Man, you really know your mix.\"
So if you see someone in a bar give you a knowing smile and
tap his right index finger to the side of his nose (like in \"The Sting\"...or, if you prefer, like Santa Claus),
it\'s probably just me telling you \"Your mix is rocking tonight, Dog.\"
