Yeah, I know what it means, but you're the guy who thought someone was actually torturing someone in a shower. Why would I waste any more keystrokes than the very minimum I need to tell you why you're not worth responding to?

Whew, looking back that was so not worth the effort.

Never mind.

And it rocks, too. Only recently gotten into them, thanks to a friend. The music snob in me (from attending a conservatory college) also loves the fact that the song is in 5.

Hmm...think I'll load it up on winamp...

Stay on topic! We're talking about Tool, here...and not this kind of tool (despite potential relevance), either.

We don't use the term "ho" here. It's potentially degrading to some demographic somewhere. Come to think of it...on that note, let's lose the term "vicar" as well...

Depending on how it was used, it generally means "explicit or shocking filth, humilitation, or perhaps poverty."  If it releated to 'art' - may apply to bondage images and such.  /tim

This is also the guy who called me a "hillbilly" in another thread.  If he knew me at all he'd know how funny that is.  Kind of like calling Michael Jordan a "honky".
