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.
Unmasking a hitherto unexamined yet deeply complex theme in a classic sitcom, so that fans, old and new, may see the series in an entirely different and more intriguing light. It's our 19-minute documentary entitled Marooned Gray Areas of Identity on Gilligan's Island.
Desperate times do not call for milquetoast measures. Messrs. Meow and Miaow (no relation) enter an old wizard's manor to set up a strange ritual. See also this unusual collection of Strange Prayers for Strange Times.
Gary responds: "Thanks for this One Odd Minute. I love seeing these strange beguiling charmingly sly and witty videos. Maybe it could double as a ‘how to break into your own library video.’"
