The 3 Types of Writing Are:
1. To dig something out.
2.
3. To point toward what cannot be said.
*
from Richard Tuttle's reading (read in a very halting, cadenced voice):
"the flowering evil... why should people be annoying to each other?... there was never a romantic solution... I can please myself then I can please you... the rigorous green that makes the world round... I do not do this to make sense... sacrifice to the hidden gods... I don't feel ok... yes we can take it back... colossal... even the forest empty in what you say... take care of something small... we see with our own eyes... my pleasure is there what would you do?... a novel progressive enough... I would do anything to know an angel like that... even if no one watching... they don't care because they're not artists"

And I descend from grace
In arms of undertow
I will take my place
In the great below.
Harvey was a Phooka -
According to legend, the phooka is an adroit shape changer, capable of assuming a variety of terrifying forms. It may appear as a horse, rabbit, goat, goblin, or dog. No matter what form the phooka takes, its fur is almost always dark. (its name is a cognate of the early Irish 'poc', 'a male goat', and it may lend its name to Puck, the goat-footed satyr made famous in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream), but it most commonly takes the form of a sleek black horse with a flowing mane and glowing yellow eyes.
If a human is enticed onto a phooka's back it has been known to give them a wild ride. But unlike a kelpie, which will take its rider and dive into the nearest river or lake to drown and devour him, the phooka will do the unfortunate rider no real harm. The Púca has the power of human speech, and has been known to give advice and lead people away from danger. Though the phooka enjoys confusing and often terrifying humans, it is considered to be benevolent. (from Wikipedia)
In this case, he was just entertaining and kept Jimmy Stewart out the nut house.
There was even a surprise visit by Bernie Kopell who played Conrad Siegfried, Vice President of KAOS, in the original series.
One very interesting character was Dalip Singh who played the henchman for Siegfried. Dalip Singh is a 387 pound power lifter from India who has an extensive background in New Japan Pro Wrestling, Japanese grappling, martial arts, Greco Roman wrestling, western wrestling and the Indian martial art of kalari. He played in the Longest Yard too.
He reminded me of Richard Kiel.
