Other than that revisionist Camus, I never "got" the existentialists, thank God
when it came to existentialism the Fat Slags were more my thing Don, god never had a look in.

We have had the novels and the poetry, I would like to raise a glass to the humble comic ...from "The Dandy" (Desperate Dan started me off on a life long love affair with the meat pie) to "Viz", from the "Tiger", where Roy Race of the Rovers proved definitively that you could have a 40 year football career at the highest level to "Love and Rockets" and loads more in between.
btw, for Melchester Rovers fans everywhere ....

raise you The Third Policeman, so I will
not to mention molecules and bicycles ... The "Mollycule Theory", the theory that people's personalities become mixed up with those of bicycles through the pounding of man and machine while pedaling down bumpy Irish country roads ("a process of prolonged carnal intercussion").
and of course "A pint of plain is your only man"

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - laid down the blueprint for road trips (at least in my imagination:-) and is the only book where I can quote the opening paragraph ...
We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like 'I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive...'; And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming: 'Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?'
The other book is the great irish novel - At Swim Two Birds - way ahead of its time. In hindsight Flann O' Brien and Hunter S Thompson were kindred spirits.

I never recall PA System being declared a democracy. If the moderator gives the thumbs down, its bye bye time.
