“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
At work we're moving into a brand new building--George scores an actual room, like with walls and doors! that is a room, isn't it?--so I had to pack up, which means I had to toss a whole bunch of stuff and then spend too much time going "oh, is that where that was?" This Ward Sutton comic is one of those. (Touch it and it gets bigger.)Labels: hip hip jorge

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.

hee hee. I'm pretty sure I've said variations of both 3 and 4.
Recently watched Surviving Desire for about the 10th time. Gawd, I love Martin Donovan in those Hartley films.
Forgive me. I've been out. I've been drinking Yuengling. And the only think I can think to say, as immature as it is, is (Thanks, Bill, who would, of course, laugh heartily with me), Girls?
That's what HE said.

E, totally with you on Martin Donovan and Hal Hartley. Trust and Simple Men are stil two of my favorite films.
Marty, please don't blame it on the Yuengling. You would have made that joke no matter.
WV: "fecapop," the gross snack item that just never caught on
