The Eye of Argon Yeah, the story is bad, painfully bad, but as the author says, he did write it when he was 16, so you have to give him some leeway there. Still, you would expect at least some sentences to be grammatical. The Eye of Argon: worst story ever written? Eyeing a slender female crouched alone at a nearby bench, Grignr advanced wishing to wholesomely occupy his time. The flickering torches cast weird shafts of luminescence dancing over the half naked harlot of his choice, her stringy orchid twines of hair swaying gracefully over the lithe opaque nose, as she raised a half drained mug to her pale red lips. I guess if she's an alien, that "lithe opaque nose" might be an interesting description, but she doesn't appear to be. And as bad as the thing is, I bet it doesn't hold a candle to Galaxy 666, which was written by a 'professional' and actually published and sold! 10:17:05 AM    comment []

aquarium drunkard: Blonde On Blonde Outtakes :: Part One If you don't know this stuff, you're missing a treat. She's Your Lover Now is one of the most devastating songs Bob ever recorded, in either version. And this Visions of Johanna is amazing, too. I just wish The Church With No Upstairs was there.
