"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!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I laffed and laffed at that bit, especially the last line.

Bourdain's the guy you meet up with a few times a year, he cooks you a fantastic meal while bitching about everyone and everything, there's terrific sex for a few days, then his misanthropy starts to get a little stale--along with the cigarette smoke, and you wave him off on his next trip to wherever. But you make sure his phone number is saved in your phone, and you make sure your number is in his.
