Hi all,

Speaking of dromogical paradigms, I've been describing to my friends my IT 
career, which requires collecting certifications and maintaining existing ones, 
as the Red Queen's Race from Alice Through the Looking-Glass:

"Well, in our country," said Alice, still panting a little, "you'd generally 
get to somewhere else — if you run very fast for a long time, as we've been 
doing."
"A slow sort of country!" said the Queen. "Now, here, you see, it takes all the 
running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere 
else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!"

But I like this analysis better, especially the last bit. And yer modern zombie 
even has a scene, psychobilly, a revival of rockabilly, punk, horror movie 
themes and murder ballads old and new.  In the 1980s, Crypt Records released a 
wonderful string of 8 "nugget" compilations of 1960s one-hit wonders, initially 
with a horror theme, then later just plain rockin' tunes. But the album 
coversthemselves are a beautiful tour of the rock and roll id, scenes of 
partying 1950s and 1960s zombies gleefully torturing, roasting and dismembering 
then-current pop icons and other features of the Reagan/Thatcher-era landscape.
