Bourdain's a riot. I don't even watch the show and I loved that blog. I'm going to have to start using "M.E.G.O. Syndrome" in email and conversation.
Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

I caught up on most of the PopCulture last night. I'm surprised by how many of the answers I knew, I did well in the horror category and hadnt' seen most of the movies.
The butt lyrics were hysterical. I think I would have asked him to repeat the My Humps lyrics just because.

I would have kicked ass in that Weird Al category.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

How did you guess a song from a deadpan incantation of "this line has only six words"?!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Because I remember it. "This song is just six words long. And it's gonna make money! A whole lotta spending money! It's gonna make plenty of money!"

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Yeah, I remember the song too...*but* I didn't remember the title of the song of origin. That pissed me off because I remembered the Weird Al song so well.
I also hadn't heard one of the Weird Al songs mentioned - and I thought I heard all the parodies already.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Okay, so where the heck is Bourdain's blog? Google is giving me no love at all, and my brain clearly has the stupid and can't guess on its own.

Ahhhh, thanks. From his blog:
Joey comes off like a walking laundry list of "Things Chefs Don't Want In An Employee." Whiner. Crybaby. Blames Others. Persecution Complex. Confrontational. What Bill Buford, in his excellent book, "Heat" came to recognize as a "dickhead". It's a good thing the judges don't see the backstage melodrama. Most chefs I know get wood from kicking guys like that to the curb.
Ah-ha-ha!
