I copied this from the Book of Lists for a friend a long time ago. This is the story of the third most indestructible person of all time Michael Malloy. The first is obviously Keith Richards although with the recent Rodney King shooting he seems like a good choice too.

The Inspiration for Tony Clifton
This is from Bob Zmuda’s book about Andy Kaufman (copyrighte violation) it is a little profane and very out there. Mr. X turned out to be Norman Wexler, who wrote the screenplay for Saturday Night Fever. It is perhaps the funniest and oddest thing I’ve ever read – enjoy!
What would Bill Hicks say
I was actually published in this book. They collected people’s attempts to do a Bill Hicks’ routine if he were alive today. These were the ones I submitted and had published.
My first firing
God knows why, but I thought that getting fired from this job was practically the end of any possible future employment. Actually, it was just a sign of things to come. My first real job was at a catalog retailer called U.S. Merchandise. Actually I did caddy at private golf course called The Country Club, …
How to instantly be an outcast
Here’s a good recipe for it. I was always about two years smarter than my actual age and about two years behind in my physical age. Thank God I never wound up like that dorky kid (who didn’t look much unlike me) in Real Genius. Here was the pinnacle. When I was in kindergarten, I …
More John Cusack Stalking
We just talked about Say Anything now to Hi Fidelity. It’s on VH1 Classic right now. Not good timing for me. I don’t know how I missed this, but he’s a raging stalker in this too. He’s out in the rain next to the apartment she’s staying in the rain calling her and hanging up over …
Mr. Pitiful
Like me Otis was making fun of himself, but that didn’t mean that he didn’t also mean it too.
Paging Dr. Melfi
So far I’m 0-3-1 with male psychologists so now I’m going to see a woman!

What becomes of the Romantic Dreamer after he realizes that none of his dreams will come true?
Bill Hicks is finally EXACTLY correct
Everyday in everyway Hicks becomes more and more prescient.
RIP Mr. Jones – I Don’t Know What Is Happening Here Either
And he drove a VW!!! “Mr. Jones,” Who Likely Inspired Famed Dylan Anti-Press Song, Dies at 63 By Greg Mitchell Published: November 26, 2007 11:55 AM ET
Mr. Jones Redux – Do you know what free speech really is?
I think people always think of Mr. Jones as a conservative, but I think it was further fallout from Dylan’s experience being honored by the older liberals.
How exactly do you protect the Chicago River from LSD contamination?
Was just thinking about the movie Wild in the Streets and its recluse “next James Dean” star Christopher Jones, who apparently melted down in a major way, but unlike Pete Duel didn’t blow his head off.
Panic – Loving the worst possible outcome
I’ve had a few times in my life where I was engulfed in panic, and they are episodes of utter terror and devastation. You can’t think of anything else and if you take action it is usually destructive. Once I was so bad I took a train 40 minutes to go play basketball, got there …
