The title of this slash fiction site really says it all, though Americans may need to note that “cling film” is also known as “cling wrap” or “plastic wrap” or “Reynolds wrap” or “Saran wrap” or “dear God in heaven, no” or “do not click on this link if you value those few thin strands of sanity the Internet has yet to brutally snip.” [Ulli's Roy Oribson In Cling Film Website; HT: Matos via Mairead Case]

“I start at the ankles and work up. I am like a spider binding him in my gossamer web. I do it tight with several layers. Soon Roy Orbison stands before me, completely wrapped in cling-film. The pleasure is unexampled.”
My favorite part is the end of Roy In Clingfilm In Space: “In space, no-one can hear you squeak with pleasure.”
Holy crap, Michael Kelly, the writer, started a small internet phenomenon early in the aughts because he wrote this satirical piece on paramilitary french existentialists parachuting into Afghanistan to convince the Taliban there is no god. My favorite line was “Hardened by numerous intellectual battles fought during their long occupation of Paris’s Left Bank, their first action will be to establish a number of pavement cafes at strategic points near the front lines.” I thought his stuff was hilarious when I read it then, but I’m kind of afraid to go back and read it now. I always wondered what happened to him.
In the epochal timeline of internet memes, this one is prehistoric – yet surprisingly relevant, given that this is Roy Orbison Weekend here in town, and that the thing I wrote about it got published today.
