And that’s why Roy Scheider had to stop presenting Gardener’s World.

Never trust Hitler especially when he’s in his scorpion form.

The two other candidates for Sturgeon’s Law were ‘Things are never entirely so’ and ‘Always ask the next question’. Good maxims for a journalist so Jeremy Paxman wandering around in his pyjamas sort of makes sense.
Except:.. Paxo famously asked the same question seventeen times.

Sigmund Freud needs a new pair of pajamas.

On this cover Mr. Sturgeon is incomparable,

On this one Mr. Sturgeon is over the brink of reason.

♫ Hand-equipped scorpions, worm-things with faces.
Wearing pyjamas in all the wrong places.
Unlovely creatures with tails that will sting.
These are a few of my favorite things. ♫

It might be a bad attempt at “author on cover”, though Ted wasn’t that gray by 1970. Heck, I’m not sure he was 100% gray by the time he died (Hell of a guy. Great storyteller live). Since I don’t know what story it’s referring to, with worm faces, I don’t know if it’s an accurate representation of a character. Or if it even has anything to do with the book.
Do we have a “meta” tag? Because this cover certainly illustrates his law.
And someone should have asked the first question.
@Tor:
When the worms bite
When scorpion stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember Ted Sturgeon’s great law
And then I don’t feeeel so bad!

But on the positive side, that pyjamas is a very agreeable shade of blue.

@Tor, @GSSxn—are those the lyrics to the John Coltrane version?

@BC: Little too poppy for St. Trane, I’d think. Nowhere near jazz enough, like his version. Even if they are a bit surreal.

That’s one farm where I don’t think it would be a good idea to go wandering about in the fields.
