Sooo... if anyone has any links not mentioned -- of any interest whatsoever to Pinkwater's place on the Internet -- please email them to overhere. ... I'd appreciate it!
The "Contentville.com" archived material is gone. Disappointing, as there was actually a few interesting tidbits there. Disappointing moreso, as I knew that was coming and I was planning on "eventually" saving the pages (from archive.org) ... but never got around to it. Bah.

NORB. I'm uploading most of the Sundays... Copyright Infringement Theater.
The Cosmic Baseball Association's 2001 stats. Pinkwater's ERA was a 4.19, with a respectable win-loss record of 12-6. Most impressively, he was second to only Mikhail Glinka in league ERA, tied with Timothy Leary. His 2002 stats are... a bit more disappointing, but it was a bad year for the team (71-91 record.).
From Seattle: Hoboken Chicken Emergency Reviews: Here, here, and here.
Fan fic Featuring Rat, from the Snarkout Boys. I didn't bother to read it, but such stuff is usually bad.
The Afterlife Diet a review. Does "the author probably have a lot of unpublished manuscripts lying around"?
Halayatchkies. Trying to get the word into his fiction, for whatever reason.
Looking through the archvies of google's usenet posts, I'm struck by a couple things. Number one: the wide diversity of usenet boards that have refered to Pinkwater. Pipes, "fat acceptance" societies, Barney haters, conspiracy nuts who think that NPR is evil, a wide array of geeky adolescent clique-sets, and so forth. The other big point to note is just how boring these posts really are. At any rate, I somewhat arbitrarily picked out three that may or may not be of some interest. If I were to shift through these archives again, I would undoubtedly have a different list of three. Here you go: Pinkwater tells fan that he just bought his mother a lousy gaift, and finally Individual wants to know if s/he was just insulted when given a reference to Lizard Music... Hey. I have a couple more links. Okay: The Chicken Man, and the Duck Man???. !"... Never mind about the other ones. ...

The
Hoboken Chicken Emergencyclopedia Pinkwater's novels tend to overlap
in their universes. Space, Time, and the Other comes into clear focus if
one reads Pinkwater's books as a set. The Chicken Man. The Snark Theater.
Uncle Borgel. Bughouse Square. The Mad Guru. Every aspect of Pinkwater,
all mysteriously linked...?Fun to just randomly read letters in full to
get the full range on Pinkwater's esoteric idiosyncratic creative energy.
(I have no idea what I just wrote meant.) Anyway: you gotta love these
obsessive fans!
Xlibris
and Pinkwater I always just sort of dismissed this site for my purposes
here, but I just took a look at it and noticed something: There's, right
here, an excerpt from the very beginning of The Afterlife Diet (though,
in my humble opinion that book takes a while to get going), and, better
still- a REALLY LONG excerpt from the book collection Chicago Fish Hoboken
Whistle. I, of course, have all of this material in book form- (published
by real publishers- It's great, though, that Pinkwater has taken it upon
himself to re-release these out-of-print books), and much of it in tape
form, but... here it is on the freaking internet! Read these, and then
buy these. (especially Fish Whistle/Chicago Days...).
Lizard
Music- The Musical The Great First Chirldren's novel turned into a

Shapiro Who didn't write a bunch of Kevin Shairo stories at some point
during their teen years? (well... actually, the vast majority of the population
of Earth didn't, but for those who did...) Everybody's favourite hard-luck

tragic-comedies- Young Adults... A book that hit me basically at the right
time a few years ago...
Kevin
Shapiro story. from a fan.
Another
Original Kevin Shapiro story obviously written by a junior citizen.
Nice to see the cult flourish, though I've always wondered if it weren't
for the stories in "Dead End Dada" if this sort of cult of writing Kevin
Shapiro stories would exist or not.

bugs me these days.
Salon
Magazine A spiffy little Puff Piece.
The
D. Manus Pinkwater Pages An Art Student and her tribute to Pinkwater.
FatSo
Interview Pinkwater is fat. Thus, a magazine of Fat Pride interviewed
him. A very spiffy interview, I might add. And, because I'm somewhat malicious-
"Hank's
Gab Cafe", Circa 1996, wherein Pinkwater is at his element quipping
in a manner everyone does on these sort of online chats. No course of dialouge
leads anywhere, and it becomes sickening to read it for some reason- true
voyeurism, I suppose.
Snarkout
Excerpt All about Barbenders, darneditall.
Wild
Wild Ducks Grape Nuts are yummy.
TalisTalis
A Jewish ritual as Pinkwater describes it.
Review
and might I add, a very bizarre review of Robert Nifkin. Ugh. Let's hear
it for the good folks of Disney for solicitating a review of Robert Nifkin,
mixing it up with "These are the days preschoolers experience alphabet
envy...", and then ridding themselves of the review. Disny rocks! or something... but alas, the death of go.com.
Fan
List at Amazon 9 is an arbitrary number, is it not? Um... It's a lot
easier when you can just throw the "5 Novels", "4 Novels" and "Chicago
Whistle/Hoboken Fish" (for that matter Blue Moose & Return of the Moose)
as each being one. My list would not include Wempires or Afterlife Diet,
and would include the out-of-print Young Adults and the in=print Robert
Nifkin. But that's just me.
And,
in the same vein, a review and might I add a very bizarre review of
The Snarkout Boys and the Baconburg Horror. (also equally odd reviews
of War and Peace and other intriguing books you may have read or passed
along as though you had read.)

of Pinkwater's presence on that show... all about a dog who vomits or something.
The
Internet Public Library Interview ?The kiddies ask Pinkwater important
questions.
Amazon.com
Interview ?actually, a bit of an anti-interview. Classic. Also recommended:
a search through Pinkwater's individual books' reader responses. Gain a
passing knowledge of Pinkwater's sub-cult.
The Greatest book of All Time,,
an excerpt: one of several mistakes made by the Wild Dada (aka: Dharma)
Ducks. a bit vulgar, perhaps.
Some
Fan's Request for Norb I tend to think that someday I will somehow
end up with every major Pinkwater work except for this one... a collection
of comic strips he did in 1989 (a strip that was canned after one year).
Something of a memoir to always remember Pinkwater's addition to the field
of comics... This bulletin board posting is linked basically solely because
I want to bring up Norb. Maybe I should scan a few of the Sundays I clipped
or something. Yeah. I'll do that.
This
Thingy, from something called Slashdot An odd review of 5 Novels, a
synopsis of the prototypical (he says "ideal") Pinkwater novel and basic
formula (painful to read, actually). Plus, a quiz (?) to take after reading,
I guess, so pay attention.
NPR
Biography Read and decide for yourself if the story of how Pinkwater
became a radio personality is true or not.
Jean

A

I can't argue with that... (he also sort of hedges his bets in posting
it.)

hm. Start with the topic of "Daniel Pinkwater", and go out that-ways and

This one has me even more completely confused. I have no idea what they're
talking about, and I really doubt that I really want to know. AND Mistaken

within the context of a series of messages that lament the lack of content
on the board.
So
the question remains:. How many books by Pinkwater are there in the
NY Public Library system?
Sandman
Annotation actually, that was a pretty good issue. I don't understand
why anyone would want to study it so in-depth, though. Somewhere online
is an excerpt from Pinkwater that rejects or something the over-rated comic
Strangers in Paradise.
Contentville.com remnants. I'll hurry up and save these nuggets... Benjamin Franklin, basics, wolf, testestorone... none others seem to have survived.

Message
Board Thought... all tied mysteriously to the Last Guru. (forget the
comment about "Young Person's Kurt Vonnegut", btw.
3rd
grade writing class. I hear Pinkwater hates the idea of creative writing
classes. I doubt he'd object to this one though, despite its focus on writing
like him.
Review
of a Snarkout Performance well, actually a review of some famous Sci-fi
actor or other's bit performance in a Performance of the Snarkout book.
For sale HERE, if
it's still for sale. Weird. Did they get the copyright permission? Easy

Pinkwater Stuffed Monkey-Animal? I don't notice the resemblance, to

Tasty
Recipe... you're familiar with his ratatoulie recipie. Now try this
tasty dish. Yummy. Actually, funnier than that bit but utterly not Pinkwater-related
is a piece on cross-curriculum education a few things up from it.
Halloween
Story Several years ago, all the All Things Considered commentators
had a round-robin Halloween story. Pinkwater is included in this story,
obviously.
Devil

The

Music. Very Amusing. I have several comments to this: the grade level always
seems too high- but here both the low- and high-end seem kinda ridiculous
(of course, I'm past both, and I still love the book, so...). I did not
notice the issue of "Being Different" addressed in the book. And, as for
censorship issues: heh heh, he said "boobs." Anyway, recommended.
Lizard
Music domain. Whether the name came from the famed book I do not know.
Dog
Book I link this only because reading this (essentially ad) was interesting.
Pinkwater has a contribution in it. BTW: Pinkwater has contributed to the
"highbrow" dog-magazine The Bark. I'm not much of a dog-guy myself, but
if you're into it that's your business.
