Reading

I laughed out loud at Mimi Smartypants today:

I just read a Christopher Hitchens quote where he said that the four most overrated things are champagne, lobster, anal sex, and picnics. Although I am not a huge fan of the Hitch, I liked that sentiment very much. I would like to organize a picnic where everyone eats lobster and drinks champagne and butt-fucks the other guests and yawns mightily with the utter dreariness of it all. More champagne, my dear? More backdoor action? Oh dahling I couldn't possibly. This whole scene is so last year.

The post's title is "Life's a beach and then you step on a dead thing" which I thought was pretty funny too.

File under "why I love the Internet:" the blog of the Dewey Decimal Classification:
