been there, done that WAS "Checklist for would-be Pynchonians"

[pynchonoid]

lolly's left off an important item, for obvious
reasons (automatic self-disqualification from
membership in the desired club),   perhaps it should
move into the No. 1 position:

1.  Have you read Pynchon's novels?

 
> 1. Own a Frank Zappa CD?  No?. Stop here
>  
> 2.  Realize the implications of and pun on  Trystero
> ( and spanish trieste, as in Kerouac's novel
> Tristessa)
>  
> 3. Read books from at least 3 of the following;
> Wittgenstein's Tractatus,  Calculus I and II, all of
> Ambrose Bierce,  Kerouac's On the Road, Henry Adams,
> William Shirer's Rise and Fall of the 3rd Reich, 
> the lyrics to China Cat Sunflower, B. Traven,  Zap
> Comix, Einstein's Relativity, Bakunin's God and
> State, liner notes to Spike Jones, Nab.'s Lolita. 
>  
> 4. Have you taken LSD? Cubensis? No?  Start over.
> 

A quick p-list archive check would serve lolly well --
assuming (and I realize this is a wild leap of faith
that flies in the face of all evidence presented so
far) the troll cares about not coming across as a
brain-dead jackass.
