O Brave New World
Just when I was beginning to suspect that my life is not in fact being scripted by Thomas Pynchon (or perhaps Douglas Adams) comes the news that a woman for whose affections I once made a serious play has been listed as one of Scotland's 50 most eligible women.
"One of Scotland's 50 most eligible women." Roll that phrase around in your mouth for its savor.
As Paul Krassner (among many others) has observed: It's tough to be a satirist, when real life is so delightfully surreal.
(Hey, Lillian! La Forêt des Singes, Saturday at noon! Will you be there?)
