“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
Bonus for Dog Blog Friday: The boys are at work with me, and have now settled down, but at first we had this little problem--Nigel wanted both beds. Mookie was displeased.Labels: greyhounds

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.

that is too funny. Poor Moos.
The best part was Nigel just sat there looking at me like, "But I'm being such a good dog!" I kept trying to get him to stand up, and he wouldn't move. Usually I just have to get up from my chair and they stir, but not this time. Nigel just looked on, clearly thinking, "Well, I'm comfortable and being good--what's the problem here?"
That's a long dog you got there.
"That'll do, Pig. That'll do."
