"My wife sat there giving me one of those stares.
"Well, that was a close one", as I set down my cup.
She said, "Jim come to bed... and shut the fuck up."
That's great!

Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, an out-of-space convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be oh so good
If you'd check off my Christmas list
Boo doo bee doo
Santa honey, I wanna yacht and really that's
Not a lot
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, there's one thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, I'm filling my stocking with a duplex, and checks
Sign your 'X' on the line
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Boo doo bee doo
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean on the phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight

Lileks is such a tool. He's nominally based out of the Strib, but they refuse to carry his political column no matter how much Hugh Hewitt whines at them; instead, they have him in charge of "Backfence", the Strib's half-assed answer to the St. Paul Pioneer Press' "Bulletin Board", which was a community blog before blogging was invented (and is pretty much the only reason, beside Knight-Ridder's national reporting, to read that paper).

What's tragic is that Lileks can be just damn hilarious, as witness his book on Regrettable Foods. In fact when Moonbootica posted that link to the "Aunt Bessie" line of dinners earlier I thought it was the same woman who used to illustrate the "Spry" shortening ads Lileks cites.
I picked that up (years back before becoming politically enlightened intending to give it to my sister) and somehow it still reposes here...damn I hate when that happens...kinda....

I grew up about a block away from Lileks.
The guy is still a schmuck.

On behalf of all Minnesotans, let me apologize for the very existence of James Lileks, his child Grunt, and the entire Lileks clan. As some of you know, The Lileks family is the result of a genetics experiment conducted at the University of Minnesota that went horribly awry. We have learned, however, never again to try to combine the genomes of the common fruit bat and homo sapiens.
