Is that the Eiffel Tower on your blog, or are you just happy to see me?

George markets only for the forces of good for a living. He has a paid hobby that involves eating, drinking, and writing, things he’d do for free, which is almost what he’s doing it for. In a previous life he taught mostly illiterate and generally ungrateful college students how to write. He has been a body guard for Jodie Foster, a walk-on dancer with French avant garde troupe Maguy Marin, a film programmer, a judge at an Iron Chef style competition, a political activist, a textbook author, a bassist in a band, a two-time league winning fantasy baseball manager, a union local president, a pr flack helping run a red carpet at an Angelina Jolie event, a janitor, a chauffeur to folks from TC Boyle to Andrei Codrescu, a delivery man to Plato's Retreat, a reluctant writer of a non-snarky intro for Colin Powell, a radio DJ, a corn detassler, an escort van driver, a rock journalist, a lab assistant for a company that made everything from mouthwash to super skin lubricant, and even, once, a poet. His biggest brush with fame was when Julie Christie fondled his tie, a tie George Lopez belittled to 1000 people minutes later. The best thing about him is his wife. His dogs aren't bad, either.

Perhaps they saw your last flickr picture? :)
Just happy to see you, but thanks for asking.
i looked at this one and tried to come up with something phallic, but I couldn't rise to the occasion.
You're carrying the phallic architecture theme to new heights, George; makes me, uh, proud, as it were.
Who knows if I can keep it up?
Are the last two pictures related?
Ever heard the sketch "Architecture Today" by the Frantics? They talk to the architect of the CN Tower, who reveals that his inspiration for the tower is... well... maybe you just better listen to it.
