I"m so pleased to see this turning into the Henry Thomas list. It's the
most discussion I've seen of the poor hasbeen since the love-bug bit me
in 1994. And no, don't ease up on the bashing--Henry really is a greasy,
gnarled, washed-up, San Antonian. (Plus he has no manners, he exhibited
poor stalkee etiquette at the show by telling me he had a crush on
Isobel). But deep down I think he knows it and he's so damn earnest that
I just can't help but love him. Always root for the underdog--that's my
motto.

Yes, yes, yes! It's one of my absolute favorite books, but that's
probably not suprising coming from a stalker. Unfortunately, my copy's
in a storage locker in Portland, OR. If I only had it here I'd be
quoting it like mad. I've been seriously considering trying to attempt
some sort of 90's version. There's a great fantasy bit about Pete
Townsend performing oral sex using his nose. Priceless! Oh, and has
anyone seen those horrible ads (probably only here in N.Y.) for "A
Christmas Carol" on Broadway starring Roger Daltrey as Scrooge? They're
something else alright.
