"I’m going to quit very rich, very successful and the game is going to be begging me to come back. Mr. Brett Favre."

You’d think a lyricist as gifted as Weezy would come up with a better metaphor for his career than Brett Fav-ruh.

Picked these babies up for $35 on Sunday. Not bad right?

If you want to understand the future, don’t pay attention to how technology is changing, pay attention to how childhood is changing.

Enjoy this documentary about the Beatles made 1000 years in the future.

Its from the future so it has to be true.

When you think about it - most of what we know has been passed along through a historical telephone at least few thousand times.

"If you’re creative and you’re a failure, are you creative… or are you a failure?"

My god… She’s multiplying!

Gold, Jerry

Jerry: What does acting without acting mean?
George: It just means you don't wanna see the actor at work, you wanna hide the technique. It's acting, it's doing the job, it's the craft, so you hide the actor's effort.
Jerry: But you're still acting
George: Yeah of course you're acting
Jerry: So it could be called Acting *with* Acting. That could be a title too.

Adam Platt - New York Magazine

"Oceana was briefly peddling a live, ten-pound, 70-year-old lobster to its fat-cat clientele. Thanks to the efforts of my colleague Ryan Sutton, this noble behemoth has been released."

—

This curious sentence in Platt’s recent review of Oceana led me down the Boolean rabbit hole of “‘Ryan Sutton’ AND lobster” to Bloomberg News’ restaurant critic’s inspired quest to save a 10-pound, 70 year-old lobster named Larry.

Luckily, Sutton was able to exert enough pressure to free the gentle giant.

Update on Larry

When I called Oceana restaurant yesterday, I was pleased to learn that Larry, an 11-pound lobster who was likely born before the beginning of World War II, had been sent back to Maine and released. I had called for his freedom in a late October column. May he continue to dodge lobster traps for another 70 years.
