“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.

You could put plastic around the objects and floor next to the tv and save yourself the trip.
And the jail time.
Watch out! Homeland Security might pay you a visit. That looks like a cache of WMDs -- weapons of messy destruction.
Wow, George; all the UMass graduates did was mercilessly boo Andrew Card when he showed up to accept an honorary degree, and the wingnuts went apeshit (nothing I like more than being lectured on manners by wingnuts). I can only imagine the fallout with actual food flying.
I'm a day late posting, but that's one fine, funny caption!
Hey George, you can whip those puppies at me!!! If you ever trump me in a debate... I declare, and I am a fair judge, that if George gets the better of me, here or anywhere, I will let him hurl half a dozen overripes at me from thirty yards. You know you want to...
They're not rotten enough yet. The tomatoes, I mean. The candidates, no problem.
