Hola, amigos
"I know it's been a long time since I rapped at ya."
These are the words I hope to see whenever I get a new issue of The Onion, because they are inevitably written by my favorite Onion columnist, Jim Anchower.
Which is why my celebrity sighting last night was so exciting. I was at a City Arts & Lectures on-stage interview with the editors of The Onion, and they announced that the guy who writes Jim Anchower was in the audience! Of course I went up to him afterwards and congratulated him on some damn fine work. He was nice and super mellow (of course) and said that even though he doesn't smoke pot anymore, all of the stories in the column (endless car trouble, getting fired from crappy jobs, so-called buddies who drink all your Miller Genuine Draft) are from his younger days. I was in awe.
Ted likes H-Dog Kornfeld, and Kyle is a Jeanketeer, but my heart belongs to Jim.

From Jean's 'Want List:' --- "One of those sweaters that only fits your arms and shoulders (plus-size) --- A Tivo --- Jeans that fit!!!! (yeah, dream on!) --- A lamp that projects stars onto the ceiling --- Bedazzler kit (I had one a few years ago, and I never used it, so I sold it at a garage sale, but now I want one again.)".....
Jim who?

I can't believe you went to a The Onion lecture, much less getting to hang out and chat with your favorite writer! My life is like the 'Power Rangers' to your 'Voltron'.
