"Thomas Pynchon" photo

[D.]

This pic has been subjected to this before.  Using the
naval shot from 1955 as a baseline,(known to be a true
life shot of the man), this pic bares little resemble
to him no matter when it was taken.  If I were
Pynchon, I'd call them and have them remove simply out
of honesty or mirth--not sure which--and say that shot
is not me.  As for me, I can't believe the list is
recycling this one again...
