-
- We should form a fan club. We could chase after him when he's in the US,
- barking and woofing, groupie-like.
-
- We could collect a library of all known Jojo postings, and index and
- cross-reference them. (A 1.5meg flat file is annoyingly difficult to
- locate quotes in, and I only started collecting three years ago.)
-
- We could establish a mailing list to (discreetly) explain the more
- obscure references in Jojo's postings to unread people like me, so that
- we can say, "Oh, of course."
-
- Oh, and maybe even tour groups, to show quiescent homebody homos around
- those bits of Paris that Jojo writes about, and translate the
- propositions made in dark corners, under streetlights, etc.
-
- What would we call ourselves?
-
- "The Jojo Fan Club"
- Far too pedantic for anything having to do with Jojo.
-
- "Friends of Jojo"
- No, too presumptuous.
-
- "Jojo's Love Slave Wannabes"
- Too accurate for some, not applicable to others who want him just for
- his mind.
-
- "Those Who Wait for the Coming of Jojo"
- Hmmm. Better. But it betrays a geeky reference to the HitchHiker's
- Guide to the Galaxy.
-
- "Viva Jojo"
- Would work well on logos and buttons, at least.
-
- "Fans of the Conceptual Daddy"
- Would require cabal approval, of course.
-
- (Hmmm. To do this well, I should learn French and expand my readings
- beyond trashy SciFi and smut. But that would take too long, so I'll just
- post this to the net and see if I can trap minds far more intricate than
- mine into inventing these silly names...)
-
- Who wants to join?
