Thanks :)

Like Bull said, it means At The Moment. You're pretty new to email, aren't
you?

> Who made the NERPS ad in Shadowbeat?

FASA did. NERPS, in early Shadowrun products, is a sort of generic cure
for everything, from sore feet to nuclear war (the ad in Shadowbeat is a
really good example), and the list was named after it. I think Rob Hayden
was responsible, but it was before my time (i.e. more than 3 years ago).

> Also, who likes Primus?

I've heard two or three of their songs, and I think My Name Is Mud is the
best of those... Probably whoever wrote that ad like{s|d} Primus, like
some of the artists including references to their favorite bands in the
drawings (Queensryche logos, for example).

And from his other message:

You've hit another one of my favorite rant topics :)

C&W is something that's very unlikely to get played in Europe. Gangsta rap
a lot more, mostly by people who want to be cool (and 75% of them won't
even know what the songs are actually about...).

I can't speak for anyone else, but I just put on whatever I like or
happens to be in my CD player, that can range from Simon & Garfunkel to
Lagwagon (who? take a look at www.fatwreck.com :) or anything else. If you
want to seriously discuss this, however, I suggest you take it over to
ShadowRN -- it's been a while since we had this thread :)
