Lileksisms
James Lileks has some funny bits today. He's been sick lately, and the fits of delirium have brought out his perverse best. Being a Macintosh man, he often has a poisoned dart for us Windows users:
I can’t say “get a Mac!” or “get Firefox!” because many of you are at work, and in the thrall to IT guys who have job security patching the shambling undead gibbering monsters belched out by Microsoft.
The very definition of bad taste:
And I mean, bad. Whining-about-cabana-service-at-Aceh bad.
But he and his young daughter Gnat are looking forward to summer, and camping:
She’s also very excited about going camping in June, which she believes will occur in about 36 hours. I’m excited too, because it means I get to buy lots of cool stuff that folds out. Stoves, lights, tables, 38-piece cooking kits – it’s Transformers for adults, with butane for that extra special kick.
