I’m not particularly against eating contests (sure, go nuts, do whatever you want), but I might (might) be against hot dog eating contests. The hot dog is a uniquely American food and does not get enough respect for its infinite varieties. It is a perfect food.

Frank O’Connor’s “The Mad Lomasneys”! What a heck of a story! #shortstories #irishstories

Flannery O’Connor’s “Good Country People” isn’t exactly a sleeper of an American short story, but I like it better than “A Good Man Is Hard to Find.” Hm.

I watched INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE in a theater this afternoon and holy smokes, what a movie!

Rereading my Frank O’Connor, as one does, and “The Mad Lomasneys” is just one hell of a short story. “Amn’t” is proper in my personal rule book. The Irish get to irish. They know what they’re doing.

Well well well, SLOW HORSES was (has been/is/will be) such an enjoyable show that now I have books to obtain, possibly from my local library!

@briancgrubb.bsky.social I just watched all of SLOW HORSES on your and Sepinwall’s and Tobias’s recommendations and: (1) I am very smart for listening to all of you; (2) “Gary Oldman” would technically make a good alias for Jackson Lamb; and (3) What a show! (4) Standish is great and I love her.

I stubbed my smallest toe on my right foot and probably fractured it and am scribbling LOVE and HATE on my toes because the entire experience has turned me into a non-murderous Harry Powell. Also, I should rewatch THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER.
