And refer to himself as “uncle al”
Does he ever use personal pronouns?

Hey Gerda, wtf is a Eureka Pile? I named myself after the song but never knew what it was. I always thought it was basically an 8-ball of heroin.

When scientists take a crap they leave Eureka Piles in the toilet.

How would Gerda know?
That’s an Al song.
Ask her about Useless or something.

Well she was around in the heyday and might know the lingo.

I always interpreted it as equating “pile” with “battery,” given what fueled the whole record, and “eureka” with the fucked-up moment of clarity within the sludge that heroin might have given him.

Maybe I’m reading waaaaayyyyy too into this.

I’ve never looked into the lyrics or anything, so I don’t really have much context, but it always struck me as some funny Jourgensen pun action.

With the goofy yokel voice I always thought it was a bit of a takeoff of “Gomer Pyle”. And the sound of the phrase “Eureka Pile” is like “You reek a pile!” which I figured meant he was implying someone or something either actually or metaphorically stinks like a pile of crap.

I always just thought it was a big old pile of powder drugs.

regarding eureka pile.when i just asked mi esposo, he laughed, and said sure it can mean anything in a pile. so coy. so my man.run wit it.

i like the fact that there are currently twelve guests viewing these posts.i guess someone is paying them. can’t imagine anyone else cares…

I CARE BCuzz iM TWITTERIN ON MAH FOWN RITE NAWW. THIS IS SOOO GAY

go home.

The thing that makes me think its a heroin reference was “My veins are thirsty with a thirst I can’t ignore, Now my eureka pile is now my savoir or my whore”
When he says he doesn’t remember making that album he might be talking about that song. I think he’s bsing. How could he not remember making such a masterpiece. Thank you Gerda & Paul for clearing that up.

are you seriously that fucking paranoid?

I used to lurk on these forums for ages.

Eureka Pile is now my favourite all night whore

after years upon years of dealing with somebody else’s paranoia, i think both i and mi esposo get a kiss and a pass. you have no idea.

Yeah, it’s a fairly public internet forum with a rather sizable number of registered guests and regular posters and viewers. They were here long before you came along and will still be here whether you post in the future or not.

i believe that those who care about my posts will actually be around for a time. i knew this band intimately,and you gunnar did not. hurts, oh well.

It doesn’t hurt at all, Gerda. Here’s something that HURTS . . . . .

What hurts is your attempt to hitch your wagon to a negligible star and try to milk your position as if you’re an A-Level celebrity. Paul Barker is a celebrity only to a subset-of-a-subset-of-a-subculture. The only reason everyone kissed your ass when you first came on board was because they (myself included) thought you’d actually give us something that we actually cared about . . . information about Paul and/or Ministry or Ministry related projects.

So far the biggest revelation you’ve given us access to is that Paul does NOT know what Eureka Pile means. Wow, that’s awesome! Let me roll out the red carpet for you as I hope to God you can throw us another tasty morsel.

You parade around like a diva and crap on anyone that dares ask you to justify or explain any of your cryptic alien babbleposts.

You name drop and then tell everyone to “read your book” when anyone asks you to actually tell something about the names you’ve dropped. And when you make accusations or attacks on people like Al or others and someone asks you to provide some evidence or detail to support your position you get emotional and spazz out as if you’re the one being attacked.

You claim to be some wiggity biggity lawyer or criminal defense expert, but you selectively choose who is worthy of defending and can’t even seem to defend you’re own statements.

That hurts.
