How can you not just dig on pin-up girls with celery stalks? How?

Seriously, how? It kind of worries mrs|Choop.

Interior Desecrators is downright scary it's so funny.  Of course, it helps to be able to remember when stuff looked like that.

Gallery of Regrettable Food would be next on my list, followed by the Castoff Mascots.

Picking a specific part of the Institute was hard, but I went with the Gallery, because it was my first love.

I picked "other" because the best part of Lileks for me is that I don't feel compelled to read it every day.  Or ever, really.

That frees up all kindsa time.

My first Lileks love was the Gobbler site. I still mourn, somewhere inside, that I'll never be able to stay there. Le sigh.

[Edit: To clarify after pmcd9's post, I know the topic, but the Gobbler is still my favorite. So there.]

The question is what is your favorite part.  I think that The Art Frahm paintings are awesome and definintely the best thing on the site.  Lileks sarcastic commentary makes it even better, but even without it would be totally too much to take.  The Gobbler is a close second, but I voted for the Bleat.  It's my favorite because it's new everyday.  

And Jough, you don't like Lileks, we get it.  Can you let it go please.
