Attention Lovers of Talking
It is time for you to check out this growing but already big-enough-to-overwhelm collection of free lectures from around the web: Listening To Words. All kinds of kwazy stuff in there, including at least one lecture relating to bears. Yet somehow, impossibly, none about monkeys. Even I am in there, though technically singing songs does not a lecture make – I suspect some rules were bent (I know a guy).
The really nice thing about listening to lectures when you get to be my age is that you don’t have to take notes or worry about the paper you’re going to write. I’m done with school suckers!
First of May Monster
Here’s a monster by mail based on the “word” firstofmay (the word is from Middle English I think). [Actually: I am wrong, it is not a word at all – I failed to notice that there is a new theme of “fictional monster movies” over at Monster By Mail. I’m leaving my joke though.] Do not watch it if you are a child, are offended by copious uses of the F-bomb, or are going to report it to the YouTube smut removal police. Do watch it if you would like to see Len drawing what is quite literally a beast with two backs.
Shows in May
Just sent this email out to the mailing list, but just in case you’re not on it:
Hello peoples. It’s been a very quiet April, but it will be a rather
busy May. Lookout! Please note especially the time change for the RIT

Raines
Take a look at the most recent episode of NBC’s “Raines” and let me know if Jeff Goldblum’s opening lines sound familiar.
Yes, this was official and I knew it was happening, so I will not be suing anybody. This time…
