Given the prior posts of the week, would it surprise you to know that I think the burger scene is the key to the whole film? Plus, it introduced the heavier VH tune to a whole new set of listeners. |

You should cut back on the magical horseshit.

My favorite quotes of the day:
"higher third-quarter profit on strong sales of electronic and information systems for both military and civilian use..."
"benefiting from extra funding for military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan..." |

Well, yes. But only because I don't remember the song being played. And whenever it's on I either fast forward that part or change the channel.

For those liking consulting-speak (hi RP!), there's an entertaining article in today's Wall St. J. about bringing such speak home to children. Example: "Licking your plate isn't adding value."
I'd link, but those capitalist pigs require a paid subscription.

Yes, how rude of you not to remind me of my devastation. That said, some parts were excellent - the 50 yd line Club Level seats that I could never hope to own in this lifetime, the wonderful bottle of Pinot Noir at Salty's and a free first class upgrade from Alaska Airlines with free wine and hot nuts the whole way back.

So I'm on this Pynchon-related listserv, and I just got an e-mail from "Henry Winkler" titled "Richard Ford pwned by Michiko K[akutani]." This amuses me greatly. Hell, maybe it is the Henry Winkler.

What wine did they pair with the hot nuts? Hopefully not a syrah.

This is an e-mail that could only greatly amuse someone who is on a Pynchon-related listserv.
