Is this Phaze II of Lumpy Gravy?

The history of The Comrade Yämamøto Experience
is a long and painful story of self sacrifice and personal heroism
that will bring a tear to the eye of anyone who reads it.
Ummm, not rilly, but it does SOUND GOOD doesn't it?
This page covers both the 1998 and the 2001+ sites.

Overture to a Holiday in Berlin: 1996-1998.
	‘C.C. Slater's Highway Extravaganza’ was posted on Geocities from 1996-1998. It was a response to Scott Oglesby's injunction to ‘Get out and hack something’. This site presented freeway junction lists (some of the first-it was the first to use graphics), As well as state highway lists.
Holiday in Berlin, Full Blown 2001-2004 The Extravaganza Reborn! During this time I added picture galleries, and reposted a large portion of the original Extravaganza ‘Other Stuff’ grew to include scans.
	Following are a few logos from 2k1-2k3. Cick for full size.
	A 2k2 fave. Done while under siege by hostile govt. forces.
	A preemptive strike!
	Doug Kerr’s Fave Logo. He’s STILL jonesing for that free game of Jüting!
The Strictly Genteel period! 2k4-2k7(more or less) The ‘All Nite Images’ go full tilt boogie; And I innovate and re-invent yet again, adding Cats and Stuffed Animals to the mix. FZ VS WMD, my non-road webcomic debuts.
	The 2k4 entry logo.
	The 2k5 entry logo. Why ‘Otto’? Why Not?
	Yarr! Me 2k6 Pirate logo! Not like any one notices, anyway.
White Dope On Punk! 2k7... Dashboard Cinema takes off. I also start posting to flickr®, You Tube and Gayspace; I begin my blog of MTR Drama and generally vicious mockery and character assasination. The All Nite Images starts including Punk Show Photographs, I also start submitting show snaps for inclusion on Meatlocker Punks.

For those who care: Here's the Yama-Mantra:
WITH explanations!
"Top Ho and Spiffing": This actually dates from my radio gig. The saying was found on the back of a 12" single for some 80's gurly hair band from GB: The cover of this record advertised a "Top Ho and Spiffing version of 'Spirit In The Sky'". I don't know about that, I never listened to it. Suppose I shoulda.
"Builds Strong Karma 12 Ways": I heard this somewhere, I don't recall where , but I didn't think it up. I'm not that clever.
"High Power Wide" and "Enjoy Grand Touring" come from Japanese Road atlases.
"A Quinn Martin Production" should be familiar to anyone who has ever had a television.
 
The diacriticals in Y�mam�to are an offhand tribute to OG ‘Ren and Stimpy’
I use the Texas convention ‘IH’ because I like it,
it bugs ppl, like Chris Jordan, and Dave ‘Kooky’ Kendrick, always a plus.
See, my ‘effete’ don't estink.

and the image comes from The Justly Famous Scott Oglesby(Kurumi).

Thanks to Robert Droz for
maintaining the Highway Sign Boo-Teek and the link from his website,
as well as the ‘Flash’ picture used on the entry page,
and general cheerleading.
Nobody likes Bob Chessick or SPUI,
but they saved us all a lot of investigative work by
caching my old site and returning it to me.
 
Chris Jordan gave me the FWHA fonts;
he did the "Self Destruct Timer" used on the entry pages,
and Any Albany, NY area page has info from him.
Doug Kerr is quite often the chauffeur while I take snaps at road meets.
and to Mike Triskele, who made up the "Roadgeek Series 2000/2k5" Fonts,
which look so much like FWHA fonts,
even the late Wesley Willis� couldn't tell the difference.
Henry Earl is just too damn drunk to get a handle on that action.
Justin Cozart gave me the idea for the graphical junction lists,
which he featured on his former "Tropical Turnpikes" site.
The avalancha(the little go-kart) symbol is inspired by Cafe Tacuba.
it resembles an image found on the cover art of Avalancha de Exitos.

I CAN TURN PLAIN CHICKEN INTO EXCITING CHICKEN. YOU'D BETTER BELIEVE IT.
