Pei designed the art museum at my alma mater, which is pretty nice and which no one who isn't in Indiana for some unfortunate reason will ever go out of their way to see.

This is not true, sorry

Since you didn't specify, I'm operating under the assumption that every facet of your claim was a wild flight of fancy.

Blithering Hayseed (Old Lunch), Friday, 17 May 2019 13:08 (seven years ago)

It was posted on the cusp of dreaming and waking, so there is some transfigured truth in there.

Sad news, though 95 is some age.

My favourite fact about the Mog books is that the Thomas family are modelled after her own, so Mr Thomas is her husband, Quatermass author Nigel Kneale.

Larry Carroll, the artist who painted the covers to all of Slayer's best albums.

Huh. I'm glad you posted that, I never considered who did the art despite the band's unified album art aesthetic.

had to google to check if this was a latter-career bassist or w/e - he was the co-frontman, The Very Reverend D. Wayne Love.

I grew up in the Packer loving part of Michigan and always heard legends that some disgruntled fan killed his dog and that there was a Packers bar in some warm place where midwesterners go in the winter named Bart Starr’s Dog. Apparently the former is untrue but not sure about the latter
