   I insist you stop these bizarre, obscure, and slightly trout-smelling posts immediately, or I shall be forced to comment again.

   Heh, “slightly trout-smelling.” I like that.

   This post actually ties directly to “The Claire Quilty poem” I wrote earlier today.  Quilty is a character from Lolita; Polanski…well, he was like Quilty come to life in the 70s. 

   Blogs being structured as they are—newest posts first—sometimes makes following these thin narrative threads difficult. 

   And of course it doesn’t help that I’m a bit nuts.

   Oh, yes, of course . . . carry on, then. :D

   I avoided the Roman link on purpose… it was tempting, though. And it fit in nicely with your OFOTCNest post a couple of weeks ago.

   Priceless? There’s a Master Card commercial by Polanski just waiting to be made…

   I went to that “postmodern” link.  I managed to read most of it, but then I couldn’t control my gag reflex anymore.  Not wanting to waste a good meal, I went to more mature and mentally challenging material—The Cartoon Network.

   Jeff S, (the real one)

   Same effect on me.  I had to go buy some linen sheets from Marthy Stewart to make my head stop ringing.

   I’ve met Roman Polanski, and he was, in fact, slightly trout smelling.

   Jeff, don’t know if you saw this or not, but interesting stuff on a precurosor. [link fixed – ed.] (sorry… having trouble with the link thingy)

   Wow.  Wonder if these events (my guess is he knew, and paid indirect tribute to a minor short story) inspired Pale Fire in some way…?

   Thanks so much for the heads up.

    Now I feel all icky.
