ok boys and girls: time to get JB his Nobel Literature prize. It won't be the 2021 one (that one will go the great Afghan scribe Back of Box of Cerial). Long story short, we must get him on the longlist and then shortlist. The latter is much more easy than the first (kidnapping, bribes, incriminating cat pics), but we need some literature professor, previous winner or book-printing club (like for example the https://alnf.org/about/ ) to nominate him. For a small recap of the process look here: https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/literature/ After getting on the longlist we will take it from there and invoke the services of Kinetic Solutions, the RSPCA, the Salvation Army and a number of groups who at this time want to remain anonymous.

So let's make you an offer you can't refuse: vote for the man. With his health deteriorating and NP's not awarded posthumously this could be his only chance. So vote!

Judging by his sole comment in his opening salvo, there will be much to do.

I give you…

I'm up for applying the blue pencil to Salman's clacker on behalf of the Ayatollah.

I had a look at another of his posts. Other than him thinking it takes 11 minutes for sunlight to reach Earth, I couldn’t find anything to ridicule him over. Whole different way of writing but.

Didn't Stephen King begin a serialized novel 'The Plant' back in 2000 that would progress based on subscribers paying per month? Interesting to see how the times have changed.

Yeah. He started it, but IIRC the tech was so dodgy that he quickly gave up and refunded everyone.
