The Annals of Obscurity Meet the author who was told "You are illiterate. You must learn to use nouns and verbs properly before you ever attempt to compose a story. Trust me." Or "Poor" Rich Henry, a forgotten folksinger. (A new blog with a lot of promise, but I can't promise that it's all true)

  • The "Poor" Rich Henry story is excellent. Nice post.
  • The opus of Thaddeus W. Didgalvis [near bottom of page] has to be regarded as one of the saddest limericks ever penned -- have to wonder if he wrote in English origianlly or was this a translation. Fascinating link, thanks amberglow.
  • Bleuvet (pronounced Blougevot) This is absolutely choice. [lifelike wax banana]
  • XXXxecration! For 'origianilly' please read 'originally'. *sigh*
  • I love page 2,661 of The Sacred Tibetan Catalogue of the Exalted Hierarchy of the Shimmering Multitude of Incarnations, with its multitude of revisions. High quality stuff. At least 0.94317 of a banana.
