Ben stuff - from an interview with Mike Judge:
So, did you go to any of these bars with Ben Affleck to pin down the character? Was he familiar with that type of guy?
Mike Judge: Well, Ben read the script and I heard he was interested, but my first reaction was, “No, it’s Jason Bateman’s.” And they go, “No, he wants to do Dean.” So, I met with him, and he started talking about this guy he went to high school with. And he started doing an imitation, and he said the script was written about this guy, like, down to the $20 that Dean wants [for his cut of the gigolo's extraneous services]. And then he started channeling this guy and it really made me laugh. And he and Jason were really great together. And Ben was really down for growing his hair out and that beard…
And it is not an "olive spread" is it? it's an "olive salad", right?
yes, it is an olive salad. Not just olives, but some pickles vegetables chopped fine. Mmmmmm. Cant wait.

You did not mention that it's because he's engaged! Hmph. And I don't know who that would be in the Ben story -- it's not like we were really in the same crowd...

And I release the ~ma into the ether from whence it came. Thanks, everyone. My manager seems quite happy with me; I'll probably see a new title and, depending on how next week's gov't contracts work out, a little more money.
And now to try and remember how stylesheets work. CMSs erode coding skills like whoa.
Congrats, Calli!
Love this idea:

[eta: Wow, rent-controlled too! And he'd lived there since 1945 - I wonder what his rent would have been.]
A former super once told me about a Korean War Bride who had been in her rent-controlled apartment in my building for 50 years, and was paying something like $150/month. The husband had died years earlier. (FTR, my rent in that building was $1600/month.)
Forget the muffaletta, I think this video will spark a whole new Buffista Food Kerfuffle: sprinkles or jimmies? [link]
