An radical hypothesis, in fact.

It’s a possiblility, that’s all I’m saying. No proof either way, but still, a nagging doubt continues…

What if JD Salinger and Thomas Pynchon were the same person?

Hey, not so fast! Hear me out.

Did anyone ever see the two of them in a room together? Are there any vacation photos of them side-by-side, up to their knees in wholesome Cheasapeake Bay? I don’t think so!

Physical description: an aging man, tall, with big ears. Possibly badly dressed. Hey thanks, that describes everyone up to and including George Herbert Walker Bush, but I don’t think he wrote Gravity’s Rainbow.

Come to think of it, has anyone seen Francis Bacon in a room with…

the return of eteraz

Oh! Oh!I was going to change these lyrics, but they’re pretty much perfect as-is, except for that unfortunate side effect of dating me severely. Uh, I learned the theme to Welcome Back Kotter on Nick at Nite, okay?

In any case, eteraz was one of the first people who got a Welcome to the Blogroll post here at the ol’ raincoaster blog, a worthwhile activity we have since become to lazy to keep up, so it is only right and fitting that we give him a big hand upon his inevitable return from the massive eteraz.org project to the ranks of us personal rant bloggers. Blogs are just crack for cheap people; once a blogger, always a blogger.

Welcome Back, Eteraz

Welcome back,
Your dreams were your ticket out.

Welcome back,
To that same old place that you laughed about.

Well the names have all changed since you hung around,
But those dreams have remained and they’re turned around.

Who’d have thought they’d lead ya (Who’d have thought they’d lead ya)
Back here where we need ya (Here where we need ya)

Yeah we tease him a lot cause we’ve got him on the spot, welcome back,
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

the Call of Tutu

Oh noes, does this mean I’m a catblogger?

His acolytes are everywhere… and they all have Olde Newe Englande accents. A great original short film about The Call of Tutu. Don’t open that door, old man!

Cthulhu is the way, the despair and the darkness

I’m assuming you know the original source of which this is an obscene and unspeakable (and Constitutionally-protected) mockery, right? He’s getting quite litigious these days, so I’m not going to link to him, nor to the source from whence I obtained this accursed and unmentionable document. Click to view full-size and read, gasping, while the blood freezes in your veins and the very stars stand still to watch in awe-struck horror.
