When "randvax" first returned to the Usenet, one of the first messages to appear on "net.movies" was a copy of "Joe Bob Goes to the Drive-in", a regular column in the Dallas Times-Herald. Now, this paper is not exactly the major paper in Dallas. In fact, no library in the entire Los Angeles basin appears to carry the paper. In addition, the fellow who posted that column lost his account shortly thereafter. He came back a few weeks ago, with a borrowed account, promising to start posting those reviews again. So far, nothing. This guy Joe Bob, whoever he is, shapes up to be the Garrison Keillor of West Texas. These are the best reviews I've ever seen, particularly since most of each one isn't a review, but a tall tale of some sort. How about it, gang? Anyone else in Lone Star Territory willing to spread culture to the rest of us out here in the wasteland?
