Sorry to pull down the brow of the list, but ...

[Mark Thibodeau]

Goddamnit. They got him.

Just like CNN got him that one time (I KNEW I was right about who he
was in that montage of images they ran!).

He looks old and tired... but still pretty fuckin' cool.

That guy wrote Bleeding Edge, man! That novel does NOT read like the
work of a man of 80 years! How awesome is it that he's managed to keep
his finger on the global/literary pulse even into this late stage of
life?! It's practically superhuman if you ask me, and it makes me
wonder about the curse of aging, when you're obviously still so young
at heart.

Love to all y'all
yer old pal Jerky
