Link o' the Day: Andy Kaufman Returns

I wrote up a nice little discussion about videotapes vs VCD vs DVD recordings of the anime in my 1,000 hour plus collection, but lost it to a lovely little computer crash.

So rather than sit through and type it all again--especially in the midst of a hectic and annoying day at the office, I’m going to go with a shorter entry today and try the anime topic again tomorrow.

I’m sending a story off to the Borderlands 6 anthology--a creepy little dark fantasy sort of thing. We’ll see how they like it.

I seem to be having the best luck with covers these days. Chris Conlon, the editor of The Twilight Zone Scripts of Jerry Sohl seems to think that the cover design I came up with is one of the best he’s ever seen. I’ll see if I can upload a version of it tonight or tomorrow.

So, is Andy Kaufman back from the dead, or what? Some may recall that just prior to his death in 1984 he claimed that he’d make his return twenty years later. There were enough questions surrounding his remains that no one could say one hundred-percent if it was a joke or not, and now _someone_ has started a blog that’s been getting media attention claiming to be Andy Kaufman.

The most troubling thing about this is that this is exactly the sort of thing he’d do--and stick with for a whole twenty years. Anyone who remembers his SNL performances or his appearance on late night television know that his sense of humor is a bit beyond most folk, and that when you get right down to it--he would often go out of his way to be unfunny. He called it art, and it was art if you didn’t take it too personally. That was hard to do sometimes.

Anyway, check out Andy Kaufman’s blog and decide for yourself. I make no judgement, although it says something about the man’s reputation in life and death that I’d even be willing to entertain the possibility that it’s on the up and up.
