authorship, writing, usenet history and perspectives from groups
talk.origins,rec.sport.football.college and rec.arts.int-fiction.
Please also discuss his vision of Cotton Fitzsimmons predicting an NBA
Title for the Phoenix Suns, his many visitations from ghosts and
angels, plus his psychiatric stays and many hallucinations since 1995.
The Ghost Writer"
Quoting Paul Panks on June 15, 2005:
"Here's the deal: Andy Kaufman could never be me. He's a two-bit jokester, whereas I am the real thing. I don't pull punches, I don't eat turkey sandwhiches and I don't smoke. And I don't have cancer. I dream of programming a PDP-1, of walking on the moon, of swimming off the coast of Australia. I have two testicles, a brain and something else: my own genes to play with. I give out advice to those who can hear it, for all who hear my voices heareth the truth. What is truth, asks Pilate? F*ckin' A. What do you want? Reality?"
