“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
And to think I believed I was fully unsuited for children.

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.

Ran this blog again after previous comments were posted. Comments are excluded, since you still get a PG. Me? PG-13. You're going to have to raise the bar (or lower the brow) yourself, George.
I cloak my smut in innuendo so deep it cannot be outed by mere philistine software eager to get its grasping hands around my heaving titilation.
Plus it seemed to miss things like this quote from my review of Jon Stewart's show last fall: Later, in just one of the off-color moments he wondered, "What can bother them so much about gays? Does someone hear the distant sound of one man's balls slapping into another man's ass--wap, wap, wap, wap--and then say, 'Hey, I'm trying to work here?'"
3 "waps" is PG, 4 is PG-13, no?
"3 'waps' is PG, 4 is PG-13, no?"
There's a Sopranos joke in there somewhere, but I just can't pull the trigger. . . .
Marty, indeed it's best that your joke just fade to black.
four "dead"s, three "kill"s and one "ass" gets me a PG-13. I thought the term "abortionists" was more offensive then any of those!
