Despite the overwhelming number of graduate students who refuse to dig through musty library stacks to do research (preferring instead the non-mustiness of Google), there is much hope for scholars of the War On Sailing, thanks to a concerted effort from the Weebelos of Bowlus, Minnesota, on a visit to the state capitol & library stand in Saint Paul. They dug up no less than eleven articles which bear directly on our research but which will never be available online. A brief listing follows:
"Marrying The Same Sex In The Lebu Republic Of Dakar" by Mortimer Spine, African Cities Illuminated, Issue 1, Volume 1, 1947
"Don't Kid Me!" starring Archie Andrews appearing in Archie Comics No. 56 (May/June 1952)
"Is That A Baboon? Holy Fuck!" by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Letters To My Grocer &/or Stripper, Accattone Press, 1970.
Brief mention in George Will's 1982 column, "How Far Can An Op-Ed Writer Stick His Tongue Up A President's Ass?" - Washington Embarrassment, August 23, 1982.
Chapters 14 - 19 of Vince Pederast's monumental half-novel It's Raining Catamites & Dogons, 1972, Spleen Press.
Mike Wallace interview of Bottom Fedora, the California Lettuce King, 60 Minutes, April 12, 1968.
"Can I Get A Good God Damn!" exhortation by Spanky D, number one MC of La Grande, Idaho, y'all, yeh.
"Tips, The Tipping, & The People Who Tip," editorial piece, Dining Monthly, September 1955.
That scene in Caddyshack 2 with Randy Quaid that you just fucking know would have been ten time funnier with Ted Knight or, really, anyone with half a sense of motherfucking comic timing.
"Dreamweaver," as sung by children trapped in a sinking boat, trying to keep their spirits up, taped by the Coast Guard at their most perverse, June 4, 1997, off the coast of North Carolina.
The Wikipedia entry on Ted Knight, printed out & left by the door.
We salute the inquisitive spirit of our nation's youth & promise to act accordingly.
