  • One of the funniest damn sites around!

    I love this site. I love the way the owner takes a long, painful look at some parts of our past that we'd rather forget, and makes it funny as hell:

    www.lileks.com

    I'm especially fond of the "Banana" section. James Lileks is the author of such classic books as The Gallery of Regrettable Food and Mommy Knows Worst. He takes photos, other images, and strange advice from old publications and puts his own spin on them.

    Enjoy!

    I love that site.

    He has such a sarcastic wit.
    Too tired of living and too tired to end it. What a conundrum.

      I don't see it on the site anymore (seeing as though it was nearly four years ago), but he's the guy who came up with a song featuring the infamous Howard Dean speech and scream. I still have it on my computer.

        Holy dear fucking Lord

        This mind-fuck of a motel is in Wisconsin?

        Holy shit I guess it is. The supper club is still standing but empty and the hotel is torn down.

          I thought images of Mt Airy Lodge were bad, but this....

          It's like the '60s got caught in a gravitational singularity and shrunk to one point of infinitely dense pukability. It's a Roman vomitorium reborn!

          Yes I know that "pukability" is not a word, but it fits.

            I love what he wrote yesterday, about the trip he and his wife took to Vegas:

            "Most of the people in the Starbucks were foreigners, except for a couple whose attire shrieked Northeast; she was tan-blasted with wet hair and an exposed midriff (belly-dangle? check!) and he was dressed entirely in white. The baseball cap, the warm-up suit, the shoes, all blindingly white, except for the gold trim. The warm-up suit had a gold zipper down the front and useless gold zippers at the cuff. He looked like human vanilla. He looked like a man from a future where people had lost the knowledge of such arcane, ancient devices as "belts" and "shoelaces." He looked like an idiot, to put it bluntly. Plus, dude, it's after Labor Day."
