CRAIG CONLEY (Prof. Oddfellow) is recognized by Encarta as “America’s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation.” He has been called a “language fanatic” by Page Six gossip columnist Cindy Adams, a “cult hero” by Publisher’s Weekly, a “monk for the modern age” by George Parker, and “a true Renaissance man of the modern era, diving headfirst into comprehensive, open-minded study of realms obscured or merely obscure” by Clint Marsh. An eccentric scholar, Conley’s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the “virtual pet” in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular “Tamagotchi” in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Conley’s website is OneLetterWords.com.
You've heard of meeting one's fate, but here's exactly where it happens: Denton, Texas. The handwriting reads, "Here's where we meet our fate." Note that Denton is the location for the fateful Rocky Horror story.
"Don't worry! You're coming to see me some day. Aint you? Eh? This is the guy I saw the other night in my sleep. Went to Vaudeville last night, with fellows in next room. We'll be there to-gether old man." From 1907.
Here's a precursor to the 1960s psychedelic "liquid light shows" (note that the Wikipedia article was tagged as a "personal reflection" of "feelings," which seems somehow appropriate). The effect of this 1910 postcard appears due to a printing misalignment of the cyan and magenta. Viewers with color blindness may not see anything out of the ordinary.
