Rarebit

Judging from above, being good looking is something you just are. The clothes, the hair, it's all part of it. But ultimately, being handsome is a blessing and a curse. I can't take my eyes off myself.

Right here is where I'll be keeping my lists, year end and otherwise. If somebody has access to an exhaustive list of records that came out in '06 let me know. I always struggle to recall what came out when.

So I just learned that Jack Spade the upscale menswear store here in New York was offering a frog dissection kit for $40 back in November, until people started going Mount Vesuvius over it. The kit included a vacuum-sealed formaldehyde-treated frog, scissors, magnifying glass, forceps, probing sticks, ruler, instruction booklet on how to explore the animal's innards, and a moist towelette. I thought Jack Spade to be more of a monkey paw type store, monkey paw is more elegant, more discerning for the dignified gentleman. Cut on a frog, and you might as well be working on a fetal pig. Save that barbaric shit for Wal-Mart. I guess their defense was that they were "trying to celebrate science and biology". You sell $800 bags! Anyway, I've got my eyes peeled on Canal st. as these kits didn't get dumped at sea, they gotta still be in town somewhere, and I'm looking to endear myself to a few people this Christmas with a one of a kind gift.
