He was a genius.

I am indeed. Turned 59 this year. Just glad to still be here, in whatever capacity!

'Calling Doctor Bombay, Calling Doctor Bombay, Come right away!'

I only ever chose college courses that scared the living bejesus out of me. You too no doubt. If it looked interesting but easy, we could just buy the textbook, and save the tuition & credits for the impossible-looking stuff.

'Fruits''?! You will trigger all the sensitive language purists here!

RULE 1: Do not watch the television 'news.'

Caring about the consequences is the problem.

Either her mother or fathers would have suited me (born 1959). Even Esmerelda. Although as it turned out...

Whose fault is that?

She has said outright she will not.

There is indeed this hypothesis about Yeshua bar Joseph and his disciples themselves... ...may Yahweh strike me down!

Why do we care about these labels? Fuck who you want to, in that moment. William of Ockham very accurately termed it 'needless multiplying of categories.'

Can't find it right now, but shortly after his death (if I recall) there were some interviews with then-teenage boys who said in effect 'There were a lot of pervy Euro/US expats here whom we knew would come proposition us,' etc., 'and he was certainly one of them.'

PS You will know he did not "own that estate." But only rented an apartment from the father of his late lover (always denied, but still), one Hector Ekaniyake. it was a nice main house occupied by said owner, + outbuilding rented by ACC, but "estate" is a bit ridiculous overstatement.

Whose sock-puppet do you think was really whose? I'm not gay, merely very cheerful.' But then a number of delightful openly queer characters in the later novels. With a fairly broad wink & a nod.

Especially as this, that or the other event gets our back up against the wall.

But OTOH (revising my previous absolute pessimism just a little bit), as Karellen, Supervisor for Earth, observed in Childhood's End: 'Human beings are remarkably ingenious, and often very persistent. It is never safe to underrate them...'
