This calls for a lake of Lego crocodiles and spear-throwing machines.

It took me a bit to figure out who they were... I thought, "Noel Gallagher, unknown (Micheal Stipes?) and that guy from ZZTop?" all of which made no sense in this thread.

But would still call for a lake of Lego crocodiles and spear-throwing machines.

Well I think to sort out that Bishop of Carlisle chap, we could invest in a shark pool and castration-by-scorpions pit as well.

Bad A.R.!!
castration-by-scorpions
(the mental image evoked by that caused me physical pain)
I bet they sing Winds of Change while they do it too.

The Neil Gaiman Collection.

This series is a tribute to the literary corpus of the inimitable Neil Gaiman. His works have been an enormous influence on our lives, and we are honored to be able to present our interpretations of the characters, locations, and concepts within the worlds that he has created.

Italics mine.

I just ... I don't know what to say. So many stories are making themselves known to me, now, that it's almost as if I have Tori Amos strapped to the ceiling in the room upstairs, the room of inspiration, where I left my tools.

The not-for-profit profits from Eau De Neil presumably going some way towards tidying up the King of Dreams' harrowing legal expenses.

I think in some cases comics creators get a rough deal on the internet, because their fans are just jealous of their talent, and want to kill the father.

But I find myself wondering what Neil's scent, his aroma, if you will, is like, though.

So far, I've thought; joss sticks, lovely old musty old books, leather Italian jeans in Camden market on Saturday afternoon, worn by young person with interesting spots in the crook of hir elbow as ze meets, finally, the man she's been waiting for always, in her dreams. The precise tang of the guilt that may or may not come into play

But I haven't really been able to get any further, scent-wise, conceptually, without doing a little sick on the clothes.

But enough of my yakkin' - what does Neil Gaiman smell like to you!?!

Pooh, and a spunky girl called Christopher Robin.

We have come full circle. Just as stories often do. Stories and... dreams.

What AG said, and he smells also of a hundred bad websites where self-styled "dark contemporary" illustrators "illustrate" their own "translations" of the Inferno with poorly scanned, invert-colours JPEGs.

Are you saying that the beginning of the story can be the same as the...

Can't be worse than Alan Cumming's perfume.

In The Guardian today.....

"Writers are otters," states Neil Gaiman, firmly. And indeed, there is undoubtedly something otterish about this author, with his trademark dark jeans and black leather jacket, and just a hint of whiskerishness - though his shaggy moptop makes him perhaps a little less sleek than your average otter. No matter, Gaiman warms to his theme.
"Otters are not trainable," he explains. "Dogs are trainable - if you want them to sit you train them and give them rewards and they sit each time. But otters... if they do something cool and you give them a fish, the next time they'll do something even cooler. Or they'll try to do something completely different. I think that most writers - or at least a lot of us - are otters."

Do I have to be the one to say it?......

WANDA: Listen: I've had electrolysis. I'm taking hormones. All that's left is just a little lump of flesh; but all that doesn't matter... inside I'm a woman.

GEORGE: She doesn't think so. And to be honest uh well even if you had uh had the operation it wouldn't make much difference to the uh moon. It's chromosomes as much as uh anything. It's like uh gender isn't something you can pick and choose as uh far as gods are concerned.

SHUT UP GAIMAN
