Lynch made me do it.

Whispering Silencio into the ears of your lover a late night?
Talking reversed?
Spitting coffee at a nipkin in front of your collegues?

I saw a printed t-shirt in town ´Lynch made me do it´. I got kind of disturbed. So now I'm asking You!

Another question could be: What has King Mob and our fellow revolutionaries in the Invisibles made you do?

Kenny Lynch made me laugh. Remember when he was on The Comedians in the Seventies?

David Lynch made me finish all my vegetables before leaving the table.

He made me realise that having huge growths bursting out from all over my cranium and being a figure of fun in Victorian London should be no bar to my living a normal life.

Cunt never warned me about Michael Elphick, though. Or bloody Freddie Jones.

He also taught me that the owls are not what they seem. But I could never figure out what they seemed to start with, and you don't get many round these parts, so maybe that's a lesson that will come to be useful with time.

Nobody ever warns you about Michael Elphick. The other day I was minding my own business in the Smithfield area when up pulls Elphick on his motorbike, hops off and advances towards me like some kind of squat ogre, arms outstreatched. He was wearing a colourful bermuda shirt under a leather jacker and his neck was twice the width and breadth of his head. "Aven't yer got a hug for yer Uncle Harry?" he growled, the stench of his stout-flavoured breath preceding him.

And did you?

Funnily enough, when I attempted to embrace the apparition, it vanish-ed into thin air, leaving only the faint smell of Guinness and pork pies.

Lynch made me eat pie. On a pirate ship. Then came the ninjas..

David Lynch made me.

Elphick?....

BOON!

David Lynch made me have sex with my muffler...

David Lynch made me lose hours of my life I will never. ever. get. back.

Thanks David!

I'm sure people are only down on Elphick because he's seen them prancin' about like a tit.

That's something I forgot to mention: he threatened me with an eel.

He's made me cranky on more than one occassion. And in my youth, when I thought Kyle MacLachlan was sex with a tiny tape recorder, he made me weak in the knees.

He made me dance with dwarves. And giants. I like the color red to the exclusion of all other colors.

And cherry pie.

He made me put my thing in my dog's butt. At gunpoint, even.

David Lynch made me..

..compile an obsessive list of psychological parallels between his films.
..learn the best way to behave at a thrash metal concert.
..understand that electricity and things which carry it are to be regarded with extreme suspicion and fear.
..wake up at night screaming.
..appreciate the music of Chris Isaak.
..cower in fear and disgust.
..realise that my true dream is to ride a giant worm into battle whilst wielding a hoe and listening to anthemic prog rock.

Watch about ten good movies in a row. No Police Academy interruptions or anything.

By the way, maybe that t-shirt you saw was referring to Kenny Lynch.

Shit. Just realised Sax already made that joke. Really should look at these things more closely. Good life lesson there, thanks everybody. I'm going to leave now and stop being a dick.

Lynch made me realize that there was often more going on in any movie than was evident on the surface. Or less, depending on the movie.

He also made me explain his movies to people who are ordinarilly capable reading between the lines.

I just love that "What the fuck?!" look people get on their faces about 15 m inutes in...
