The Pinback Summer Project!! How interesting! We're all looking forward to just what his summer project could be.
No clues have been provided yet, but I can make a guess! Would you like to know what my guess is? Here goes!
o It'll involve a so-so idea that even if completely developed and fleshed out will only provide a reaction to the masses that is little above "meh"
o It'll be seriously, terribly overhyped for weeks on end by one guy and one guy only
o After an initial furor of work on the "Summer Project," Ben will immediately lose all interest in the thing and it will remain unfinished on some Earthlink or Sprintnet or Verizon chunk of web-space, and Ben will justify his inability to work on the project by saying, "Well, if it *really* took off I'd use up my bandwidth requirements quickly and no one could see it, so this is for the best"
o I'll somehow get blamed for the thing being a raging failure, regardless of how much I do or do not contribute
o He'll lash out at guys who at one point maybe liked him but can no longer stand him, like Debaser, Worm and Looper.
o Ben'll then start drinking lots of alcohol and we'll get his "OMG DRUNK" updates. Oh, and ones involving his cat again.
o Somehow, this will utterly fail to equate the words "Pinback" and "Failure" together, even though it should do so, and should have already done so about a half-dozen times before.
Am I right?
