George Carlin, the American comedian died last week. One of the jokes that got him in trouble was when there was a boxing ban imposed on Muhammad Ali for refusing to fight in Vietnam – "And the government said, 'Well, if you won't kill people, we won't let you beat them up.'"
On a different topic, it seems the reason that the Duneditin conference web site hasn't been updated is that Albert the organiser has forgotten the password. It's not going to make a good impression on the worldwide conference following.
Albert? Is that you? Being Monday morning at the jobbie, being dead doesn't look like such a bad option! Hotboy
ReplyDeleteAlbert? Is that you? I'm not at all surprised the conference scheduling is becoming a disaster since it has been taken out of my hands. Not in the slighest bit surprised. But I won't care by Thursday since I'll be on holiday then! Hurrah! Hotboy
ReplyDeleteGreat quote from George: I shall treasure that.
ReplyDeleteOn the conference:
We reject authority and organisation! The conference will self-assemble!
But I spose a temporary gash email contact might be made available to applicants. Maybe here, if passwords at Duneditin are inexplicably mislaid? It would be up to Alberto.
