I think I like this blogger: James Lilek's "The Bleat"

Urbane Guerrilla · 05-27-2007, 05:18 AM

The Bleat -- surfed into it from a shortish string of clicks I doubt I can reproduce. So it's bookmark time.

Comments?

It's "Lileks'", because his name ends in an s.

Mr. Lileks is a great writer and outstanding netizen. He has fallen into cataloging the mundane since about 2004.

Thanks for reminding me. Lileks' has been buried in my bookmarks for a good while.

I've been a huge fan of his website for years--late 90s maybe? You're lucky you've only just discovered it; all the ephemera he has on there will be new for you to enjoy. Unfortunately, he hasn't added much, if anything, recently.

I'll be sure to steer clear.

You'll be missing out on some good stuff!

These are some of my favorite Lileks items. Keep scrolling down past the white space, and especially check out the Dorcus collection...hilarious.

Though as far as I can see from the page, the guy wasn't from the Fox Networks -- the page is GOP USA. The Fox mentioned thereon was a military officer.

Ibram can have his little joke; thirty years down the line, somebody about eighteen years old will tell Ibram he's me. I mention this so Ibram won't drop his teeth in shock.
