“Compulsive Pecker Checker” should be Randy Lenz and his Steel Sax’s first single.

“I probably won’t even waste everybody’s time asking if I’m interrupting’ rockets to the top of the ‘Best Lines in the Book’ list.” Precisely.

But the synopsis “Page 567: Michael Pemulis explains annulation to a blindfolded Idris Arslanian” makes me laugh out loud. IJ in outline is almost funnier than IJ in total.

Not at all! See the links I posted above. Emil Minty is yrstruly.

I have a post up on Orin's encounter with the "Swiss" hand-model called Orin's Endless Fall, which also discusses the section through p.601 (behind today's spoiler line of p.611). Infinite Detox also posted on the question Is Orin Paranoid Enough?

Yeah, Brian – p562, during the Lenz-Green walk-n-talk. “…due north of where yrstruly and Green strolled through the urban grid.” So yrstruly kinda has to be Lenz – no?

I need to see if I can find it again, since I stupidly neglected to earmark it, but…
…Did anybody else catch the language that seemed to link Lenz and yrstruly?

As horrible as the Lenz killing episodes are, the forum thread that has been going on this topic makes me think of it as a band name every time and it just makes me laugh! (Aside: “Randy Lenz and the Steel-Saks” is the name of my new calypso band.)

Agreed on ‘I probably won’t even waste everybody’s time asking if I’m interrupting”

Everything Pemulis says in that sequence is classic.

‘Hoping for a second of your time’

‘Nice looking helmet’

‘I predict this will take about two minutes at the most’
