two articles in slate today contain the word “frisson“… wtf?

permalink

best first paragraph in a slate article ever.

“What exactly is the point of Catherine Zeta-Jones? Fine, she’s beautiful, but who isn’t in Hollywood these days? And sure, the whole married-to-Michael-Douglas thing provides a certain creepy May/December frisson. For all I know, Z-J may be a wonderful wife, a loving mother, and a great humanitarian, but watching clothes spin at the laundromat is more compelling than watching her on the big screen. Your average load of laundry boasts an array of colors and textures, and it occasionally moves in unexpected ways as you stare through the front-loader window. Z-J’s symmetrical face and lush body are so immobile she appears carved—she’s literally statuesque.”

I took this on Saturday at Party in the Park in Painesville, Ohio.  You know, one of those summertime neighborhood/city/town festivals (in Lake County alone there’s the Strawberry Festival, Old Fashioned Days, Better in Mentor Days, and a few Knights of Columbus/VFW-sponsored fairs I’m sure I’m missing).  In addition to the apostrophe misuse in “oreo’s”, the image of a pig actually being stretched in opposite directions to make “pulled pork” made me pretty nauseous.  Ew.

though i only saw him do stand-up a few times,  you could really tell he was talented, very personable.

i would have to say that this is the funniest thing i read that he’d written.  and just on sunday i was telling dimitri about “rent or own”.
