“We discovered that it was OK to have a little high-brow as long you have a lot of low-brow. That’s entertainment value. The one thing you want to avoid is the middle brow, because the whole world is frigging middle brow at the moment.” – Jon Langford

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.

I understand him.
It is all about priorities...
Wait, isn't that Baby Timmy all grown up?
I can't believe any human being would voluntarily expose that picture to the world.
(Then again, I don't wear pink golf shirts & ripped jeans.)
This guy is totally going to beat up Andrew McCarthy if he tries to go out with Molly Ringwald because she lives across the tracks.
Give dday a 16 candle salute for that one.
You bought a 36" HDTV, a Bose surround sound speakers system, a cable DVR time-shifting system, and Playstation 3 with BlueRay HD output at 1024 DPI?
That is so gay.
