@achewood My bicycle is parked in the living room. A tub of tartar sauce sits open on the counter. Truly, the evidence of a wife being away too long.

Me too, brother, me too.  Dude, she was hitting on you!

Also, News Radio was a great show.

I once almost knocked Jimmy the Greek down at Churchill Downs.  He was coming out a door and I was going in and I wasn't paying attention to where I was going.

I know.  I wilt a little inside whenever I think about it. But she was married, and I was too.

What's your point here, exactly?  I mean, Maura. Tierney.  Woof.

As bad as it has been lately, I've been watching ER lately just because I finally found out she's on the show.

Same situation, believe it or not, but for me it was Lyle Lovett at the Houston Galleria.

Also would like to reserve a seat on the NewsRadio Adoration Train, please. Are those fuck*ng DVDs ever going to come out?

I guess my point was that even if it had been a 100% guaranteed hook-up, I wasn't going to just throw away my chosen life-partner / best friend  for a few moments of pleasure.  ( Cause the wife would have found out.  Wives always do. )  The fact that we have a kid now just increases this exponentially.  

And I would have put the odds of us actually hooking up at around 8%.  And that's probably me kidding myself by about 6 percentage points.

Well, there goes my number 3.  I guess I could substitute Calvin Johnson of K Records/Beat Happening fame.

Thus far, I'm pretty sure clonking heads with Al Gore is the best of celebrity encounters.

Former Secretary of State Lawrence S. Eagleburger threw spitballs at me once. He was speaking to us at summer camp and the guys next to me were "being rowdy" (he'd actually egged them on ahead of time).

Someone named William J. Bennett bought my Farscape Season 1 set off Amazon, but I don't know if he was former drug czar William J. Bennett or just some guy with the same name as that old fascist whore.

If we are going to include family, my Dad took a class from Linus Pauling. And my Grandmother dated Buckminster Fuller. I attended high school with Mark Schlereth and college with Chris Childs, but I never met either of them.

I went to junior high and high school with Dan Spils. I guess he has some bands that are gaining attention. I don't really know.

2. I once had the misfortunate of having dinner with Noam Chomsky.  I strenuously avoided other occassions on which this experience could have been repeated.


I was thinking about this, and now I'm curious.  What exactly do you have against Chomsky?  I'm not a fan or anything, but is he a dickhead?  Have bad breath?  Chew with his mouth open?  Or is it that you are just extremely conservative?  I know almost nothing about the man aside from a bit of his linguistic theory (just a bit) and, of course, his work in history and politics.

Yeah, I was curious about this too.  Is this a linguistics thing, a political thing or a personality thing.  My guess would be that it's a personality thing, because I could see how a guy like Chomsky could be pretty damn obnoxious in person.
