Bonestalking: just say no

[Bill Millard]

>From Gareth Branwyn's "Jargon Watch" column (Wired magazine), 
1/20/97, here's a term that seems singularly appropriate for that 
James Bone:

> Stalkerazzi: Paparazzi who will go to any length to get the
> celebrity shot they desire. 

Hats off to our UK colleagues (Eric, Andrew, and any others) who 
refuse to collaborate with Bone's obnoxious tactics by 
redistributing his piece from the Times Sunday supplement.  I'm as 
curious as anybody about TRP's Phiz, but the Boneheaded approach 
isn't how I'd ever want to find out.  Wouldn't want my friends 
stalked; wouldn't want my favorite living author stalked.

(Preferable: a chance barroom conversation with him about rock 'n' 
roll or colonial history or ampersands or leptons or some such thing, 
with TRP discreetly letting on who he is once he's recognized he's 
among people who would never blow his cover... every serious 
pynchophile's noninvasive fantasy....)

--Bill (still wondering whether the Red Cap Guy and the 60-ish guy at 
a recent Lotion gig bear enough of a resemblance to allow a plausible 
inference that he's been In The Presence)
