New Weird game
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007 at 4:42 amJeff and Ann VanderMeer are producing an anthology of ‘New Weird’ writings, in which my story The Art of Dying - a new and improved version - is included. Jeff has put ten excerpts from the book on his website, and a list of writers. Can you match them up? First person to guess correctly wins a copy of the anthology signed by the editors.

How can it be new and improved
if it is new it hasn’t been done before and if it’s improved wouldn’t that mean you have fixed a few things.
So what is it New or Improved.
Yes i like to be a bastard.

Ya smartarse. It’s an accepted turn of phrase, “new” really standing for “renewed”, or “new version”.

Colin this singing arse of yours how is it’s version of she’ll be comming round the mountain? Don’t say crappy either.
Still an improvement to the art of dying is very much needed in Hollywood. Between the celebraties that cannot fade to obscurity quietly and the “actors” that need special attention to drop dead on screen teaching them to do it artfully would make for a change of pace.
The link provided dont seem to have much in the way of diagrams in this forgotten art form of dropping dead like you were actually killed.

I hope that is not true at all other wise it does not say much for your taste in music.
All this talk of arses makes me think of a movie titled Go to hell.
The lead character says somethings along the line of
“If I wanted to listen to an arsehole I’d listen to myself fart.”
