And I, my Lord - may I say nothing?

Wouldn't it be marvellous if the child born from 21-year old sperm developed the cultural tastes appropriate to the original date of ejaculation and ended up developing a retro obsession with Scissor Sisters, Franz Ferdinand and Art Brut in the 2020s?
On a related note, it was realised at 666inmyheart's post-exam celebrations yesterday that, given the rate at which generations are getting taller, the downside of immortality would be living into the future as a comparative dwarf. Funny how Dracula, Fosca and Vandal Savage never seemed to have that problem.

If you have ever toyed with an idea for a story in which HP Lovecraft's horrific fiction is somehow based on his own experiences - please don't write it. Even Enrique Breccia's art couldn't save Lovecraft.

Dude, if you do not think The Maxx is the greatest comic you have ever read, you will be a lesser man than I thought you were.

As Tony Hadley once observed...

I don't need this pressure on!

Though to be frank, it will have its work cut out to top Flex Mentallo.

Has that fiction-based-on-experience ever been done well? It just makes me think of *shudder* Shakespeare In Love and other Aaaaah-I-See-What-You-Did-There embarrasments.

I liked that film!
And even the Lovecraft thing was done OK once, by Alan Moore (of course). Because he was a bit oblique with it rather than having Howard Versus Azathoth.

What put me off SIL was the bits like where, completely unnecessarily, Shakespeare asks a street urchin what his name is, and the urchin replies, "John Webster", and a hundred middle-aged, upper-middle-class bores in the audience all chuckle loudly to let everyone know they "got it".

Maybe it's the audience I loathe more than the film.

Yes, I was the tallest in the hamlet back in 1670.

Does this mean my_red_dream must actually be a gigantic ancestral heroine of her people?
