     the ad is a dead ringer for Rik Mayall.  A-and didn't THOSE guys 

     already do some toilet thing way back in the 80's anyway?

Ahh the Young Ones...Ben Elton where are ya?  the burned out long hair 
always reminded me of a schlmeil, Rick Mayall is one of the funniest 
dudes around (not lately however), and the red haired anarchist (wore a 
Rush shirt I always wanted) not to mention some good musical acts (OK, 
they did have Dexy's Midnight Runners, I'm thinking the Slits also (for 
the good) but I might be wrong on that score)--see The New Statesman and 
the Blackadder series...

Anyway, trainspotting-- (a group of Scottish druggies and one brief clip 
of the guy going down the toilet...)    out in America sometime this 
month..we'll have to wait and see though I liked the director's earlier 
film Shallow Grave.



BTW, How the hell do you pronounce Vheissu anyway?  (Issue?, sneeze?, god 
bless you?, Vishnu?)

Chapter X seems to indicate Pynchon read a little Joyce--Wandering Rocks 
anyone?
