 jukeboxcharlie's member profile 

karma: 113 (astute informative interesting brilliant)
last visit: Tue 12 Nov 2002
member since: Sun 11 Feb 2001
also found on: http://charlie.riotsquad.com

say a little something to the people at home:
A lawyer and prankster, though not necessarily in that order. I also have a love for pop music and American politics.

when you think 'jukeboxcharlie,' think:
Nobody calls me jukeboxcharlie, but nobody else has taken it either. Every freebie yahoo/hotmail/excite etc user named jukeboxcharlie... that's me.

all these things (a desert island list):
 o SHOOT OUT THE LIGHTS (album) :: Richard & Linda Thompson
 o Ubik :: Philip K. Dick
 o WHO'S NEXT (album) :: The Who

the feature I'd most like to see on Plastic is:
Change the karma structure for submitting stories. In addition to the 3 points for having stories accepted, there should be bonus karma for generating discussion, say, 1 point per 10 comments. This way there is an incentive to submit good stories.

jukeboxcharlie's favorite words:
thought(19), perspective(18), never(18), rational(17), question(16), always(16), obesity(16), without(16), disease(15), others(15)
