This may be the weirdest thing I have ever seen online.

A blog is a blog is a blog.

You know I loves me a good Gertrude Stein parody but unfortunately this relies on the same shtick as those old Onion advice column bits, and it's a bit of a tired shtick.

Even on the wide, wide internet, I'm surprised someone thought enough people would get this that they bothered to make it.

Incidentally, my dad once got me a copy of Stein's How to Write, and said, 'I hope you like it. I didn't look inside until after I bought it.'

Assuming this is all Gertrude Stein material, and it certainly looks like the real thing, this is the most Stein I have ever read. Whatever one may think of her ways of experimenting with language, I have yet to meet a Stein fan. I am sure they exist. But, for the most part, like free jazz, playing it is more fun than listening to it.

However, this format makes her easier to read: in small doses.

Surely you remember this guy. He doesn't come around much any more, and he no longer links to his personal site, but his domain and his email address refer to the opening of Tender Buttons.

Anyone heard from him lately?
