In data 29 May 2004, verso le 23:47, Tim Strzechowski si trovò a 
scrivere su VLVL2 (15): They-system:

> Yours is Preparation H' (376) 

	Now a foolish question. Imagine you have just bought the filming 
rights of Vineland. You have managed to write  a screenplay, believe 
it nor not, and the film only lasts 2h 30'. The producers keep 
telling you that you can do whatever you want and that money is not a 
problem. But now you have to choose the actor who will be Brock Vond. 
What about it? Who could be the terrible arch-nark?

(If I were you I'd be in trouble, because, for some mysterious 
reason, I kept putting Frank Sinatra's face on Brock Vond while 
reading the novel, and I guess dead actors cannot yet be persuaded to 
star in a film...)
