Amusing response to the Clan there Pete.

As an FYI for those that haven't clued in or simply haven't heard of them,
the Clan is based around the hip-hop group that has simply dominated the
industry for several years now, the Wu-Tang Clan.

They are some seriously loopy bastards, especially ODB (Ol' Dirty Bastard)
who some of you might remember interrupting Shawn Colvin's Grammy
acceptance speech. And for the many of you that haven't heard his solo
record, it's far more bizarre than anything I could come up with.

*They* think they make total sense, but they, sort of like the otaku, have
their own lingo that is comprehensible only to them really. I've only just
recently figured out most of their first group record (and they all have
solo records), and that was released back in 93 or 94.

Just because they're loopy to most people doesn't mean they aren't
competent though. While they may only be average shadowrunners or superior
gangers in one-on-one situations, as a group they complement each other
very well and move like a machine.

Just an FYI about the Wu-Bangers!
