[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by zardoz</i> <br /><br />at the request of Mookie - <br /> <br />My 'handle' ZARDOZ comes from title of a sci-fi movie made in 1974. <br /> <br />In the movie, Zardoz is actually a huge flying stone head who makes periodic visits to Earth to pick up grain consignments and issue bizarre statements involving the male anatomy. The movie stars Sean Connery as Zed, one of a carefully bred race of supervisors, the Exterminators, who oversee the agricultural labor of the neanderthal Brutals, since in 2293, with most of the Earth's surface off-limits as a polluted Outlands, industrial society has been abandoned. All worship Zardoz. Director John Boorman's ZARDOZ presents the "perfect society" of the late 23rd century, in which no one dies and age is meted out as punishment. <br /> <br />I went to see the film one day during my layover on a passenger job in Chicago with a few other rails. Somehow, after seeing the movie, my nickname around the railroad became "zardoz", hence my use of it here in a railroad setting. <br /> <br />A very cool film, best appreciated in an enhanced state of consciousness. <br />[/quote] So Z, are you saying you're something like a "stone head", or just that we shouldn't "... pay any attention to that man behind the curtain"?
