Ginsberg...you are crazier than I had once imagined. But I like that.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] And so now we know what kind of Person will step towards a fire (Yes about the RV)
To some the Hobbit is the end, but there is Lord of the Rings
To others Ketuvim is the end, but there is Mathew (Bible references, folks, look 'em up)
To some there was the 1918 world series, but others know of 2004 (they got lucky-go Yanks!)
And so there is a man, he is mortal.
If you prick him, he will bleed
If you tickle him, he will laugh
If you poison him, he will die
And if you wrong him, shall he not revenge?
(apologies for the liberties with grammar Will)
That man in Jens Voigt.
He is even my age, but yet he is ageless. He is two score with seven children.
A modern hardman in the tradition of many before him.
He has even influenced those who live 5,211.14 miles away from him (or 8,386.29 K for your euro-geeks)
A Team with vision, a team with verve and elan, and free Mohawks to all who wish them
Yea Verily, I speak of Jens Voigt's Army, the JVA from beloved Portland. Viz: http://teamjva.com/
Today, 1/5/12 is the end and the beginning (though not quite the Alpha and Omega- I used up my bible reference above)
Today, 1/5/12 a dawning of a new era is upon us
Today 1/5/12 a rebirth, as the mighty Phoenix, born from the ashes of it's own nest (Or leaky oil pan, dealer's choice)
Today JVA took possession of the Cross Crusade RV. It is now theirs to use as they see fit, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent owner may of right do (Apologies for the liberties with the grammar Thom).
They say they will fix her,
They say they will make her run well again
They say they will cover her in Paisley (as a fan of the Dead Milkmen, I wish they'd cover her with a Big Lizard, but she's theirs now, not mine, Eat Your Paisley was 1/2 the Album Big Lizard was)
Friends, Romans, Countrymen, I come to bury you all not to praise you, unless you are part of the JVA, in which case I salute you!
I can't wait to see what happens next, I've already bookmarked, "JVA, RV Injury, I told him not to do that" on youtube!
