Geary: you *have* to let the folks on this forum know about the Ministry of
Metaphysics _summer semester_ on 'shock art'. Remember that student -- where
was she? Kenya? She brought her _grandmother_ to the show, and had her, naked,
recite from the Koran!
And then there was that boy -- was he South American -- who would recite in
American Native Indian language from the pages of the Apocalypse while combing
his dark hair with an ivory comb.
I suppose your favourite was the Swedish twins impersonating Castorra and
Polluxa as an attempt to turn male-based Greek mythology a
"feminism-digestible" thing.
Mine _has_ to be that Scottish professor of the St. Patrick Society (was he)
who would hold his ukelele and recite, "And a look in his eye seemed to say to
the sky ..." complete with chorus!
I also had fun with R. Emeritus Paul as member of the jury. He always had the
last final word, "unappealable", as you said!
Cheers,
JL

All sorts and conditions

at a run...
