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.
We're delighted that Holy Mountaineering recognized us as the living corpse that we are:
@danskjavlarna The tumblr home of Professor Oddfellow aka author Craig Conley is stacked up with images from old newspaper to old yearbooks to just who knows what the hell type of images. If not “occult” per se, then definitely esoteric, Prof. Oddfellow is almost certainly a vampire (not an insult from where I’m sitting) who has accumulated a horde of knowledge he is kind enough to share with mortals. Like Prometheus, but fun.
