TRP Superstar

[Peter Giordano]

John,
Sorry but I did not write the words you attributed to me - And in order for
your clever little joke to work you have to address it to the author of the
words you quoted - Is that too hard for you to understand? Let me lay it
out for you: Somebody(not me) said:

 >I assume all other roles in this perrenial favorite drama are
>up for grabs.  Hey, can I be Saint Augustine?

Then you, with your rapier wit, respond with :
>Nah, you can be the ass Christ (TRP?) rides into Jerusalem. It's
>typecasting, but if you've got the talent...

So John, you see, in order for your joke to be funny the "you" referred to
above has to be the person who wanted to be Saint Augustine (The "you" in
the second comment MUST refer to the "I" in the first coment)

You went on to say:
>Maybe, but YOU posted it, and it is VERY APPROPIATE, don't you think?
>It's what some call "synchronicity" and was just TOO, TOO, right to pass
>up.
>
>By the way, have you ever found any references in that library of yours
>on "obsessive-compulsive behaviour and the internet?"

I now respond:
As I pointed out above, no it was not an appropriate comment  at all - It
makes no sense at all in fact - As for your question about
"obsessive-compulsive behaviour and the internet?"  probably this is
something you need to see a doctor about since you are obviously getting
lost - Certainly you can do better with youor attempts at insults - Your
last two attempts were pretty lame - To give you some help I'll repost the
message I actually sent:

In a message at 9:48 on July 8th, 1997 I posted the following:

You said:
>Let me see if I've got this straight:
>TRP = Christ
>Jules = Judas
>Chrissie = Mary Magdalene
>I assume all other roles in this perrenial favorite drama are
>up for grabs.  Hey, can I be Saint Augustine?
>
I say:
Actually the above is a gross simplification which buys into some of the
more egocentric
nonsense promoted on this list - The Pynchon list is not a place for
idolizing trp and is only
declared to be that by Jules and only whenever somebody dares to reject his
theories about
trp
