   Mr. Lileks has such a grasp on the history of popular Americana, it’s positively scary.

   The Europeans should HAVE such an ironist in their midst!

   I read that when Insty linked it and knew it was just a matter of time before it showed up here. A masterpiece.

   I’m giving Lileks to all my friends this Christmas. Unless Jeff gets it together and puts up some decent CafePress stuff.

   I’ve been giving Lileks as a gift this whole year. Of course, not having read the actual tomes myself, I gave The Gallery of Regrettable Food to my bro, who informed me later that he has to keep it away from his 11-year-old son.

   Wha? I said. Then I read That One Section, with the double and sometimes triple entendres. I knew Lileks had it in him to run the slightest tinge blue, but I didn’t expect it in a book on ugly food photos. Oh well. The rest of it is funny enough to choke a horse.

   I want CafePress swag too. I have the coffee cup. I like the coffee cups I stole from Denny’s and Baker’s Square better though cause they have a thicker lip. It’s a thing.

   triple entendres

   I syuddenly felt illiterate so I went to MerriamWebster.com:

   “2. a word or expression capable of two interpretations with one usually risqué”

   A triple entendre might therefore, have six interpretations (double x 3)? Ouch.

   I have Regrettable Food but my favorite is Interior Desecrations, if only because I was a bachelor in the 1970s, and one having delightfully execrable taste. I will re-read RF tonight since I do not recall anything sexual. Unless it was the jello.
