...cunning that he shouldn't even be allowed to make neurological decongestant ads or even be on welfare, one-two-threed his way into a state of protoplasmic regret when Bruno finished dicing him through the Great Steel Cage. He actually ripped Hanson's face off--yanked the pulpy flesh right off his doggone skull. Ex-transvestite. Hansen, whose eyes had long since disappeared to leave only streams of orange blood, mistook a kindly referree for his phantom foe. But he didn't even have the strength left to beat 165-er ref Bob Morgan. A happy day for justice...
...Could this be, I wondered, the same pasteurized number who had never been involved with anything seamier than hatching tadpoles in Richter's biology lab? Who had never shown more knee than the Brobdingnagianized safety-pin on her scotch-kilts would allow?

This idea was unequivocally not in my mind at the time. My act was, as it were, a simple "professional gesture...
...acutely conscious with each sentence that I write that I am, with each sentence that I write, providing ever stronger grounds for the assumption that the context in which the article was written is valid. It is not valid. I was never told that "All Flesh" had been "accepted" by the Advocate. Hence I can hardly be labelled "irresponsible" for not telling them it had been accepted by Padan Aram. Och, I did not invite the rivetters in. I am reminded of Richard Nixon's political technique of discrediting opponents by, e.g., asking them to wriggle their...
