hmm, could that second part be asking:
"but what is greater than two eyes in the land of the one-eyed?"

No dude here dude ...lol
And I have no idea if you were right or not, but if you notice in my first post I have "less than"...and after reading your post I realized it should have been "greater than"....hence my self-beration!
There is this part to contend with: '----' x
So maybe it's a four-letter word like " four times" greater than....

Whoops, dudette then!
but yeah, I haven't got the foggiest what the [----] part means either, I just had a punt at it.
We still don't know what the whole quote is referring to yet either. Talk about can't see the forest...

Maybe:
The One-Eyed Man is King in the Land of the Blind many times greater than Two Eyes in the Land of the One-Eyed?

PSA: "dude" is a unisex term.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

I think Cem has it pretty much right. Note that the original has a big space in the middle before '----' so there are two separate phrases.
Now I ask, so what? What does this have to with anything? And why is the subject "Fire" ?
SPEC: Land of the One-Eye(d) could be another Telnet "talker" like Mu-Mu land.

Well, it *does* appear that Ewan has been leading a Semi-Charmed Life, so far.
Ugh. Sorry about that. That was painful even for me.

So, does this mean that Ewan is addicted to crystal meth? Or that he is a semi-talented, past-his-prime band?
