Boswell meet Hugh J. Schonfield! (An incredible plot we should passover.)
Pass the mushrooms.
This season I am catching the bus with my incredible new study of the life
and times of Tony the Great, erroneously identified by eleven centuries of
history scholars as Alexander the Great.
Based on just yonks of study of the origional text(s) - I forget which, and
my degree in ancient European languages from Calcutta University (downtown
branch - it came in the mail just yesterday!), I have determined that Tony
(Alexander) was really Italian!! There is amazing evidence to show that
Tony did not LEAD the greek armies - he was being CHASED!! At this time
it is not known why. What could he have done to have pissed off that many
people? (Suggestions netters?)
It all started for me when I found an ancient manuscript in a used pasta
can in a garbage dump outside Naples . . . but that's for the sequel.
Anyway, if you are in the Hudson, N.H. area tonight you can hear me speak
under the Merrimack River bridge (north side) at 11pm. (Bring a baseball
bat if you are not "that way".) I will be available to sign copies of
my book "They Got It All Wrong" which will be on sale.
For next season, if there is no call for a sequel to "Wrong", I am preparing
a blockbuster expose of modern plate tectonics based on my "continental drip"
theory. Hint: have you ever noticed if you look at a world map how all the
continents seem to drip like on the Sherman Williams paint advertisement?
Keep chargin'

Well, folks, it looks like naughty Ken Arndt is up to his old tricks once again (been a while since net.women?). Say, Ken, this irresistible impulse you're periodically in thrall to: is it keyed to sunspots, phases of the moon, business cycles? Cheers, Ron Rizzo
