Every now and then I talk about some other sport in this blog and this post is going to cover three: football, swimming and wrestling and one extraordinary young man who played all three at his high school.

Mousy Kim Novak is made over to resemble the “legendary” title character and is eventually possessed by her foul-mouthed spirit. Directed by Robert Aldrich, this one is pure camp [...]

Will found the call for submissions a couple weeks ago and I wrote most of the story last Thursday and Friday. I just put the finishing touches on it this morning. [...]
