Is Tom Robbins Pynchon's perkier brother?

are they the same man? (so thats why Pynchon is so reclusive)

Is Switters a true Discordian saint, or just a dirty old man?

[Bella]

Tom Robbins is Pynchon's younger clone.
If they are the same man, it's only because they are siamese twins.
Switters is a dirty old discordian man.

tom robbins is a dirty old man, and switters is pynchons son. thomas didn,t actually exist, only in the form of a chaotic cloud formation known as the hibtertflibbert, you can find it on any map if only you look hard enough.

Tom Robbins is an outlaw, even if his hair isn't red.....
that's how he knows the secret of the human heart.
Which is that the heart is the ultimate outlaw.
And...he lives in the pyramid on the camel's cigarette package.
Everyone knows that.
Either that or he lives in a airstream trailer made up to look
like a giant roast turkey.

i think you all need to take a rather long sit.

everyone knows that tom robbins publishes his books
through means of telepathy. in fact, if you guys would have been there
for that great belly dancer...salome was her name i think...
you'd be able to use telepathy too and you could hear him writing the
book as he writes it.

she telepathically publishes them from his secret laboratory nestled
snuggly in the deep jungles of the Doggon.

duh

Nuhuh!
He sits in the room with the wolfmother wallpaper and holds the conch shell up to his ear. Then he dictates to the red painted stick, which types the answers on the Remington. Either that or he pulls the pages, already written from the pockets of Boomer's trenchcoat.

[Iron Sulfide]

no no....he doesn't dictate to painted stick...

he used painted stick to finish StillLife w/ WoodPecker

[Bella]

You're both wrong.

He sits in a house completely engulfed by blackberry bushes,
dips the painted stick in ink made from beet juice and writes on paper made from butterfly wings.

That is, when he's not invading the vatican or winding the clocks deep within a cave that smells of life savers.

PS: I swear I saw him once, sitting on the grass under the big Banyon tree in Lahaina, wearing only one purple sock and talking to a pack of Camels.

[Anonymous]

you're all wrong.
i'm he and he's me and we're both here haunting your forums.

[Adverblust]

They both wear pants.  That says enough.

She probably meant the cigarettes, like in the book "Still life With Woodpecker", but a pack of live camels would be much funnier, don'tcha think?

[Bella]

I did mean the pack of smokes, but now I have this really great
mental image of camel grazing under the giant banyan tree in
Lahaina, while Tom Robbins follows them around talking to them.
