Actually, Peyote Mk I was a lot uglier--reportedly the body looked a lot
like a squashed trash can. One of Bill Ames' friends asked if he was on
Peyote when he built it, and that's where the name came from. So no
offense at all--you're almost exactly right. Though I suspect the real
drug of choice was beer, and lots of it.

Ok, I don't want to offend anyone, but I've seen several photos of
Peyote, and I've wondered how it got its name. Is it what the guy was
smoking when he built it?
