 | Speaking of Upsideclown - and there's a new one up today, as per - reminds me; Jamie the Clown received an email from a devoted fan of Ritchie Neville, re: his piece Ritchie Neville is Dead. I quote:
What are talking about? Ritchie
can't be dead! Is this some kind of joke or
something like that? I can't believe that Ritchie would be dead...
Tell me the truth...
Please...
As Matt observed, "why can't Richie be dead? Is he some kind of immortal mesoamerican river god or something?"
Of course, this is all much funnier when you imagine the poor, deluded creature, going through exactly the same set of thought processes - denial, rage, terrible poetry - as the many admirers and lovers of Richey Manic went through. And yet funnier again when you email her back saying, "I'm afraid it's true. Richard Neville is dead. But, on the bright side, no other single man had a greater impact on the balance of power during the Wars of the Roses. He went out on a high."
