  1. @robgiampietro Figured you'd enjoy it. Are you convinced in re: the primacy of the four beat line?
  2. RT @poniewozik Blog post: Introducing the Cincies: What Were TV's Most Interesting Failures? (winners to post tomorrow) http://bit.ly/6lHxCU
  3. @ditzkoff It's on my to-do list.
  4. @ditzkoff Glad you're a fan! (And that you don't think it's too lame we're regifting it -- Fagen is too good to leave in the archive.)
  5. At 3pm on Xmas Eve, about half of all Swedes will stop what they're doing and watch a 50 year old Donald Duck cartoon: http://bit.ly/4HLWxd
  6. RT @tnyfrontrow: NYT: "New York in Last Place in Happiness Rating" http://bit.ly/7KRBPh or first place in honesty rating.
  7. RT @ztf: I really enjoy that the airport call sign for Buenos Aires is EZE. Makes me wish I was flying NWA.
  8. Keep waiting for an appropriate cue to say "The devil made me do it the 1st time; the 2nd time I done it on my own." (h/t Waylon Jennings)
  9. @ztf So glad you liked that one. Fagen is so talented; that a musician of his caliber can also write up a storm is inspiring.
  10. RT @ebertchicago: http://twitpic.com/uk4r0 - 39 years ago today.
  11. One of my favorite pieces I've edited at Slate: Steely Dan's Donald Fagen on Jean Shepherd's "A Christmas Story": http://bit.ly/6lmSmJ
  12. Actually, Avatar and Last of the Mohicans have more in common than Wes Studi. Outsider learns ways of natives, rejects his own people, &c.
  13. Wait, I thought Magua was finished off by Chingachgook; how did he end up sachem of the Na'vi? http://bit.ly/8RXKid #avatar #wesstudirules
  14. Icy beard. #tdtt
  15. I wish LL Cool J stood for Leon Leonwood Cool J.
  16. @junethomas Little too, alas.
  17. @gilzilla Oh yes. Dark chocolate. Made by a highly regarded confectioner. Delectable.
  18. L.L. Bean stands for Leon Leonwood Bean. I did not until now realize that. Man knew how to make a boot.
  19. @jodyrosen @thehighsign I decided to finally knock it off after you told me of your affection for it (and of your trip to Montreux!).
  20. @thehighsign Nabokov's last (finished) novel, Look at the Harlequins! Not his finest work, but completists can't be choosers!
