Which reminds me, there is apparently a PEZ museum in Burlingame, or somewhere equally suburban. I may have to check it out, now that I'm in the neighborhood.
I'm reading your list while listening to no. 4's La Vie en Rose off this compilation, after reading Benjamin Péret's "Calendar of Tolerable Inventions from around the World" -- which is an equally crazy list where one can learn, for example, that mustard was invented as anti-honey -- and after deciding not to include Borges's Chinese Encyclopaedia into my writing on taxonomy and classification, because it's getting a bit old. Now I might just quote Greg Mills instead.
I haven't read that story for years, but now that I think about it, it is an subconscious rip-off, like George Harrison did with "He's So Fine" for "My Sweet Lord". So, quote Greg Mills if you must, with the caveat that Greg Mills is a scoundrel and a thief.
I wonder how honey feels about mustard now that the two combined are the world's most popular salad dressing.
Keep your friends close and your enemies delicious.
okay, i googled "male girdle" and this is the photo it came up with

scary
oh and my word verification is "tv mob"
Died -- Combining mustard and honey would result in instant annihilation of both condiment. I'm thinking you might be using a false mustard and/or honey. Does your mustard smell of hot tar?
Chloe -- That man is uniquely unpleasant.
Hmmm Snakes in a Beer Cooler....
I Love the concept... I am going to see if Jeff Foxworthy is available...
Jeff Foxworthy would play me.
I just followed a librarything link to your blog, and ended up reading everything on this page. And may I just say that you, sir, are hilarious.
Thanks, Dewey. You are obviously a bright person.
