Does anyone else remember skiing naked down Everest with a carnation up your nose?

For those who do:

That woman who just paid $50,000 to have her pit-bull cloned? Is the same woman who kidnapped a Mormon missionary and kept him as a sex slave. Bonkers just doesn't go away, seemingly.

I have to say that if I was that Mormon I'd be very paranoid about where my DNA samples were going.

"Voodoo? No, I'm worried my clone is going to end up a sex slave guarded by a clan of hyperviolent pitbull Boogers."

(Also, even at this distance in time, I kind of want to find and kick the lawyer who said the 'Mormon doth protest too much.')

Yes! Though, come to think of it, your clones aren't actually you, are they? "They suffer so I don't have to..."

Double-yes. Some people just need kicking; there is no statute of limitations on this.

There was a book! (there are pictures of boobies and women tusslin' in their underwear)

Thank you! I did not know this! (Also, good grief. The things people decide to write a book about...)

It was bad enough that she called her pitbull Booger.

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Little did we think it could already have been worse...

And apparently all the clones have Booger related names.

I remember the Clive James review of the documentary about her, where he was fascinated by the Mormon chastity pants and was trying to work out how they worked.

One hopes the pit bull wasn't her sex slave.

I really wonder why I bother writing fiction sometimes.

The too-young American lurker is almost delighted, in a train-wreckage way, and mostly horrified.

Yup. Those are the only appropriate reactons, in roughly the proper proportions. You may indeed be too young, but you're clearly doing something right.
