Running Scared

Are you into the idea of wrapping Roy Orbison in clingfilm? Do you write stories about your fantasies? Then you’re not alone (though perhaps you should be).

Favourite lines:

'Roy has succumbed to a heart attack and is clinically dead,' he explains, indicating a certain well-known man in black sprawled on the floor of the vehicle.

'So,' I say.

'Are you perchance a doctor?'

'No. I studied at a catering college for some years but was forced to leave for reasons I prefer not to disclose.'

and…

Of course, I reflect as I return to the patient Jetta, there can be no question of him enjoying it, for he was dead at the time.

The people who made that website also made a song. I don’t think there’s anything I can say that would do it justice. Feast your ears:

Incidentally, I found out about these sites from a friend who was researching Roy Orbison. I did not google for it out of a deep desire for the Big O, dead and wrapped in plastic.

Now where did I put my clingfilm…
