I used to enjoy some local fame as a cartoonist and artist, it was enough that I once got applause from the house when I walked into my favourite pub and a restaurant I frequented used to hold my table for me on Thursday nights. I had groupies. There was free alcohol. Since then I have slipped into relative obscurity but was happy to hear an individual had collected some of my published work and a few people have the works I was commissioned to do. I think I got more than my 15 minutes. ---

I had sex with all of the original cast of ZOOM!, if that counts for anything. (It took me 27 years, but I finally tracked them all down.) ---

By the way, you all might find my face familiar, as it’s the one you see on TV surrounded by federal agents while reporters shout at me asking me why I did it . . . . . . some time in the coming two to four months. Bwahahaha! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Kinsey \* > \*\*Me=Whoosed > 😕 \*\* Ed Meese, former US Attourny General during the Reagan years published a massive report on pornography, which was greeted with great enthusiasm by the porn seeking crowd in those pre-internet days (the government was kind enough to provide addresses of the various publishers, though unlike the one printed during the Nixon adminstration there weren’t any pictures). ---
