I presume that this is a reference to the MTV show - If you've not seen
CELBRITY DEATH MATCH you are missing something that everybody should see at
least once - Not as good as TRP's work but it certainly competes with DFW
I'd also make the observation that the flaming on this list has reached a
new plateau - That is the flame baiters are keeping score publicly (i.e.
admitting that the only point of their flaming is to disrupt the list) -
This sort of flaming is like a computer virus and in the many lists I've
observed it is almost always the beginning of the end (that is the list is
abandoned to the flamers who like characters in some weird (and cheap)
SciFi novel begin to eat each other) - Maybe Part 7 of the Vineland reading
will come just in time
Also, I have a few Pychon-lers face to face and only one had horns, a long
pointed tail, and cloven feet so that's also cause for hope - AND I know
somebody who has been face to face with the immortal famous ex-roommate so
I might be eligible for a special prize
