Of David Cerny, Smichov Gay Bars, English-language Failure in Prague, and Prognosis: A post to touch my heart, by Scott MacMillan. Because I am vain and cheap, let's excerpt his nice words for my former newspaper:
ex-Prognosite Vladan Sir came back from his parents' place in Ceska Lipa a while back with a big old stack of Prognosises, and I was frankly shocked at the quality of the material those kids put out back in the day.Flattery will get you everywhere, Mac! Actually, the post is more about the amazing art of Czech sculptor David Cerny, and the possible demise of the Prague Pill, the editors of which were nice enough to send me out a few issues, and a copy of a bad column I wrote long ago for another failed English-language publication called Velvet.

If it were called Black Velvet, I bet it would've been successful. Add the half-mummified visage of Phyllis Diller on the upper right corner of the front page and I guarantee you'd be rolling in schlopkees or whatever currency those foreign devils use.
