I especially like:

http://www.lileks.com/institute/dayalets/index.html (spree: faces made out of food)

http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/index.html (spree: the gallery of regrettable food, explicit rump roasts)

http://www.lileks.com/institute/motel/index.html (spree: motel in Wisconsin)

http://www.lileks.com/institute/motel/index.html (spree: a gallery of Dorcus menswear)

HOURS of time killing potentential here, and at the main site (http://www.lileks.com/) as well.

Sounds more libertine than libertarian. But, if you're going to have a heart attack, make sure you're partying with a paramedic.

"Bilmore in fifteen years" means, living on a beach in the Caribbean, so, not so bad a thing to say.

Yeah, when are you getting here? :umbrella:

I would ban:

1) cologne on computer guys, especially in the copious amounts that leave a wafting cloud in my office long after they leave;
2) sade, enya and/or kenny g on hold lines*

*unless thurgreed was the holder, in which case, I say, put in on speakerphone, crank it up, smoke a j, and make love to that special someone til the representative picks up.

Help! My wife is developing a crush on Kyan, and I've got a mancrush on Ted, and we've only seen two episodes! Can this marriage be saved?!?!?

Apropos of nothing except Jodie Foster, my wife observed an inalterable truth that I'll share with you for free: the movie "Freaky Friday" will be remade once and perhaps twice every ten years until the sun turns into a red giant and subsumes the Earth. This is because the plotline is interesting and new to each generation of twelve year olds, and the generation gap jokes will be different each time. Take it to the bank.

Now, for the weird poll: Name the ugliest person with whom you'd be willing to trade lives. (This eliminates the tendency to pick people who are perfect in every way, like Jamie Lee Curtis, putting the male genitalia to one side as I hear is the case.) I would be willing to be Tom Petty (fugly), but I would not be willing to be Steven Tyler (too fugly).

I'd be willing to be Sam Cassell, and since I can't think of anyone uglier, I guess that's my answer.

Actually, I guess Beetlejuice (from Howard Stern and other places) is uglier, and I would not be willing to trade places with him.

Back to the topic of ugly athletes, I would also probably be willing to trade places with Willie McGee. That guy was all kinds of UGLY.

Damn! That was mine. I guess I'll have to go with Oprah. No - too fat, I'd have to diet all the time.
Madonna - then I'd have to unweird her.
