Timothy Leary just passed away. According to Reuter's, his last words
|
|
were "Oh Really? Yeah." I don't really know as to whether or not he
|
|
enlightened any minds in this lifetime, but it can surely be said that he made
|
|
quite a few more interesting.
|
|
|
|
I met Tim back in 1992 at a convention in Atlanta. I met him through
|
|
Robert Anton Wilson, who was also a guest and told me I had to meet him. After
|
|
we'd had a brief 'meeting' in Tim's room, we wandered down to the bar for
|
|
morning screwdrivers. While sitting at the bar, we were approached by a
|
|
strange little woman in an ill-fitting superhero outfit. This woman was known
|
|
around the Atlanta cons as "Ms. Marvel," and she had the reputation for being
|
|
crazy as a loon. She entered the costume contest every year with the same
|
|
costume and would whoosh around to the "Superman" theme song. At any rate, she
|
|
approached us in the bar and started talking to Tim and calling him "Mr. Lee."
|
|
As I remember, she used her canned dialogue on him and his reaction was amazing
|
|
and memorable. Keep in mind that the woman in question is 42, about 5 feet
|
|
tall, 200 pounds and wears glasses the size of Coke bottles under her superhero
|
|
mask.
|
|
|
|
MM: "Hi there, Mr. Lee! It's so nice to see you again! When are you going to
|
|
stop drawing Spiderman and do my comic book?"
|
|
|
|
TL: "I think you may have me...."
|
|
|
|
MM: "Oh no! I know who you are! You always react like this to me! But you'll
|
|
see this fall when my new TV show comes out on NBC! It's going to be
|
|
wonderful!"
|
|
|
|
TL: "Really? What's it about?"
|
|
|
|
MM: "Why, it's about the adventures of ME and my dog, Superdog!" <holds up
|
|
stuffed dog>
|
|
|
|
TL: "You know, that's really amazing. There's enough channels nowadays to
|
|
give everyone their own show."
|
|
|
|
MM: "Well, I'm the first superhero to get a prime time show!"
|
|
|
|
TL: "What about the Incredible Hulk?"
|
|
|
|
MM: "Well, the first woman, at least!"
|
|
|
|
TL: "What about Wonder Woman?"
|
|
|
|
MM: "Well, that's not important... the important thing is that you WATCH MY
|
|
SHOW!"
|
|
|
|
TL: "I have a feeling that I watch your show every day."
|
|
|
|
MM: "I don't think you're Mr. Lee anymore! I don't think I know you!"
|
|
|
|
TL: "Do we ever know anyone, ma'am?" <He lights a cigarette, which happens
|
|
to be something this woman REALLY HATES. She thinks that cigarette smoke is
|
|
her "kryptonite," so to speak.>
|
|
|
|
MM: "Oh no! I have to go! See you later! WHOOOSH! Watch my show!"
|
|
|
|
TL: "Well, that was mildly interesting. Who was that?"
|
|
|
|
I only talked to him twice more after meeting him. If he was right, his
|
|
trip is only just beginning now, so I will wish him well and send him off in
|
|
the only way I know how. So long, Tim. I'm really jealous of you.
