I'm not sure where Neal Stephenson was living during the time he wrote Snow Crash, but i note that it was published in 1992, and it was 1991 when Frank "The Big Hurt" Thomas started swinging a taped-up piece of rebar in the on-deck circle. Redneck katana or "good gadget"? Coincidence or conspiracy?
