One for vlad, who I think is a particular admirer.
Today is the 100th anniversary of Roald Dahl's birth, one of the most entertaining writers of the twentieth century.

I'm a Roald Dahl fan - not only his kid's books but "Switch Bitch" is also one of my favorite short story collections. Love his twists in the tale.
He does get some "gasps" from the pearl clutchers for writing children's stories and "adult" stories but a writer has to eat too.

He was also an inventor. Didn't he come up with some incredible medical device to help his wife Patricia ONeal when she fell ill. I believe it's still in use and is named after him.Playboy wrote:"Roald Dahl was a British novelist, short story writer, poet, screenwriter, and fighter pilot"
As an obituary writeup, that is not a bad opening line to be remembered by
Or am I making that up?
Just listening to a radio program on the great man and was interested to learn he kept curios such as bone shavings of his spine and hip from operations in glass jars. It's also thought inspiration for some of the amazing names and words he created came from his wife attempting to manufacture sentences and words after having a stroke which made vocabulary cumbersome and problematic.

I think in honour of the great man, I'm going to get my giant peaches out!!
My posts are just jokes, maybe they're rude, offensive, and politically incorrect. They're not my opinion, viewpoint, idea, or judgement, but they're just fucking jokes so lighten up.

A brilliant writer...the story of his car breaking down in the desert..magic.
Parson's Pleasure, a con-artist gets his comeuppance, brilliant.
Wish BBC would do a series of his short stories.
