Wow, did I have a birthday and forget it? Oh, just checked the calendar and these are EARLY wishes! Thanks guys! How am I going to make it through work tomorrow? Evan. . . apparently the cat is already out of the bag, but yours is good advice!

I thought I saw one of those elves the other day. . . on a boogie board. Maybe there is a set about to be out of print, and this elf volunteered to collect any sets on Oahu. . . .

Why bother to discuss it? NASA never shows us what's really out there. . . .

I miss ole Clem even more now.

What next? Blue Tomato?

Well that's "Rasputin's Stash" by Cody Hanson! (I cheated, I looked at the properties of the image and looked it up, there's a copy on ebay right now). Funk?

I have the RELEASED material that is within this set, and it's very good. As good as the Black Lion lps were. . . . It will be a great set; I wish I could buy the previously unreleased material without having to rebuy the other. . .

Yup, scary isn't it!

Good find Jim! I hadn't visited the site and discovered that!

It's not humble pie.

Hey, it's not proper English. . . as far as English are concerned. I lost all kinds of points for spelling. . . aeroplane. . . aluminium. . . honour. . . centre. . . . I learned to adapt, and then learned to adapt back three years later when I returned to the USA!

That's when the reign officially begins, and he stops even TRYING to conceal the horns.

Hmmmm. . . I can see where it would be fascinating, though my own bent is towards other fascinations! I haven't noticed (or "registered") "y'all guys," but I bet I do now that you've called it to my attention. "Yous guys" does stick out. . . . I never really noticed it in use "back east" when I lived in Ohio. . . but it does appear here and really stick out to my now Texan ears. And I have heard "all y'all" though mostly I've heard it as "all of y'all" which is even wilder in its way. When I was in Philly I used to say "gots" as in "Gots to go now." I got razzed big time for that in Africa, especially in Swaziland in a "British" boarding school, and eradicated it !

BELLS: Ring, ring, ring. This and other "BELLS:" comments crack me up!

Big time. . ..

Yesterday I ordered Louis Armstrong in Scandinavia Volume 2 (Storyville) from Worlds Records. . . . It shipped yesterday, so maybe I'll have it in time for his birthday!

Those sure are nice scans, thanks for posting them! Back cover scans are so cool.

"y'all guys"? Never heard that. Hear lots of "northerners" saying "yous guys". . . . So glad you folk are "nailed" regarding Clem! Personally, I think it's a little more complicated than that.

I remember a lot about Sound and Fury from 17, it fascinated me. I got more out of it rereading it in the 1980s though!

Hell, I read it at 17 and it didn't kill me. . . .

Appears to be three novels y'all: Light in August As I Lay Dying The Sound and the Fury Good stuff. . . . Source page: http://www2.oprah.com/obc_classic/featbook...asof_main.jhtml

Lucky, we'll miss you more and more as time goes on!

I've read a little Gay. . . didn't float my boat too high. Oh well. I'll try another at some point.

I think it is worth assigning to college students. . . . Faulkner exposes them to a different style that is "ear opening" in its way, a different use of language. And the thematic material is also in its way different from a lot of other literature and worth exposing students to. I dug him when I was college age a lot, maybe was even influenced by his work somewhat.
