Neehar the Wonder Donkey
Garrhhh. Just what I needed after a stinking 14-hour workshift: A patron at the Austin library has placed a hold on au hasard Balthazar - I will not have time to watch the extra features!
Nowhere but Austin. Back in Virginia, I would have had to exceed my doctor's recommended Benadryl prescription just to protect myself from the dust on the DVD case. But in movieville Austin, no one can wait even a week to see this exciting French donkey movie from the 60s. They talk about it to their friends. They rave about it in blogs. They discuss it over dinner and on dates.
Which brings to mind my favorite Bible verse about a donkey:
"And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. And Nimrod the mighty hunter begat Conan, a mighty man of valour. And Conan wandered the earth with Neehar his mighty wonder donkey, and he laid help upon One that is Mighty." (Genesis 10:8-9).

You are a better writer every day! Keep at it. In a thousand years and with a million million monkeys, you could be better than William T. Vollman!
Pavlov, this is God. Please correct your quotation of Genesis 10:8-9 and read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasphemy .
