...course the 400-pound Jones's sad-sacking couldn't have anything to do with his habit of signing papers "Adolf Hitler" and "Snow White" -- and why penalize him for the age-old Nebraska legal tradition of setting bonds of "a gazillion pengos," as he is accused of doing? Throw in his misunderstood indoor Grucci impersonation along with allegations of swearing routinely at court staff and making improper physical contact with a female judge, and you've got the makings of a high-tech lynching, as another wise man once said. Jones's suit says he was discriminated against...

Given his first showing in 1907 at a gallery in Sardinia, Glimp declared his "revolt against the age-old tyranny of the frame" and produced an oil painting (Nude Stretching) that flowed off the canvas onto the wall and floor and then out the door, continuing some 320 ft. along the sidewalk. In 1911 his atonal lesbian operetta, Gal Crazy, caused a riot in Seville, where audience members mistakenly believed they were about to see a bullfight. His kinetic 1928 novel, Run, Fight, Nap, written using only verbs...
