“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
I appreciate you all so much, I'm going to be sure to push the poem further down the page and spare you that. It would take more than a day to say thanks for reading, thinking, commenting, lurking, folding, spindling, and mutilating. I think that covers all 9 of you.Labels: readers are cool

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.

Thanks to YOU for blogging.
Aw, that's nice. Rickey enjoys you as well. Can Rickey borrow ten bucks?
Duly noted!
Rickey, I've got your 10 bucks right here--just come and get it.
Thanks right back for hanging around our keg!
The pleasure is all mine, sir.
It's nice to be appreciated and honored for all of my enjoyment of this blog.
A special logo of love! So happy...
yay for us! Yay for INOTBB!
Ten comments, nine readers. I count the blogs I read on one hand. Keep up the good work.
Always a bright part of my day, and you even feed us mind and soul and lower(even the occasional cheeseburger--dirty, Padma, dirty) and give us suck on all the great beers and wines and cocktails of the world. Go Mets.
I'll have to thank you more often. This was fun.
I'm late to this party, but simply must chime in. Yay for George! :)
