BEVARE THE BIG GREEN DRAGON

[Guest-posted by Jack Womack:]


Speaking of Ed Wood, Jr., of the seventeen novels of his that I own*, this is the only one where he also served as cover model.

MISTER, I WAS MADE FOR IT

[Guest-blogged by Jack Womack:]


Here is William Lindsay Gresham's life insurance ID card, and his copy of a particularly apt title by Ed Wood, Jr. (Kathleen Everitt was Ed's wife's name.) His books: Nightmare Alley and Monster Midway, fiction and nonfiction respectively.


If you met Gresham, I gather he would hand you one of these two cards.[image error]

Seconded. Agreed further that a posh civilization of unknown origin concurrently lives on the inside, its nude inhabitants perhaps fed on honeydew, or bulldozer-size mushrooms.



Point of order.



Would request of the Chairman permission to modify the motion.



Agreed, that the earth, if it is indeed a globe, is accordingly hollow, likely does have a posh civilization of unknown origin living in luxury within,
