Pen-15-ing his Name


I met this guy at The Harriman Cup -- an alumni polo match between The University of Virgina and Yale -- in The Haaaaamptons, or somewhere near there, the other weekend while covering the event for Ralph Lauren Magazine. Please note not only how this character, his name is John Munson, managed to write his name -- in the shape of a penis -- for all of network TV to see, but also that when Alex Trebek asked what he does for a living he said he was a "gadabout" or "person who flits about in social activity."
Also, he is wearing an ascot. On Jeopardy. That needs to be noted.

"Lilibet it's been like a week and you haven't gone to a wedding. What's wrong with you, are you losing your touch?"

I told you Queen Elizabeth's nickname is Lilibet and now I have the book cover to prove it. So there.

Thanks for the help 'ol pal

Ok I am really mad at the person who responded on some Answers.com type website to the question: "How to get a pen mark off of leather" with "Spray it with hairspray," as that did not work -- at all -- and now there is a giant darker stained circle surrounding the pen mark.
Last time I trust the Internet for answers.
And yes, this is the type of stuff I decide to do/look up when I am on deadline.

Too Little Too Late

I always feel sort of guilty when I shop at a Going Out Of Business sale. Like I should have perhaps showed up for the Help Us Stay In Business Sale.

Chicken Finger

I just saw a man walking down the street with a chicken tender in his left hand. Just munching away. No napkin, no anything. And it reminded me of the one week in college a girlfriend and I attempted to do the Atkins Diet, which was a terrible idea, and I don't think even lasted a week, (I was having nightmares about bowls of cereal) but anyway, while it lasted, I remember that eating food on-the-go was always such a nightmare. It's almost impossible to walk around while eating something that doesn't have any carbs. No, no bread, thanks, actually if you could just put the turkey in the palm of my hand and slap some mustard on it that would be great.
