Infinite Breast

David Foster Wallace is speaking at the Swedish American Hall on Thursday. This is my big chance to seduce him and my planned line is, "Can I be a supposedly fun thing you'll never do again?" I'm counting on Sean to also have some campaign for the attention of David Foster Wallace, as he has experience with these literary celebrities (1, 2), so in addition to this very good line I plan to be topless. I can't let myself get beat by Sean after all.

no, it's just a good venue for this sort of thing. lots of impressive oak timbers and hot tea.

Posted by: didofoot at June 14, 2004 12:21 PM

can you have timbers? or does that only exist when they are being shivered?

Posted by: didofoot at June 14, 2004 12:21 PM

Kristen wins the Great Title award for today. Hands down. And the last package of Swedish fish that I had were really waxy and gross.

Posted by: michele at June 14, 2004 01:25 PM

i am the god of fish. but not swedish, unless you count my last name and half my extended family.

Posted by: didofoot at June 14, 2004 01:34 PM

maybe your fictive kin could include some fish.

Posted by: michele at June 14, 2004 01:45 PM

That reminds me, has anyone seen my NIPsy russEL collection? I swear, I'd lose my KNickerbOCKERS if I weren't wearing them. Maybe I left them with my friend who plays basketball for
GOnZA(N)GA.
