We also told Sean Penn to shut the fuck up. Well, we would.

Terry is passing around “10 Things I’ve Done That You Probably Haven’t”. We LOVE this meme, as it seems likely to subvert the dominant paradigm in which we feel wholly a freakish outsider. Anyway, in no particular order, we have:
1. Edited an “unauthorized” guide to Ally McBeal.
2. Was rendered speechless upon meeting the surprisingly sexy Walter Mosely (low blood sugar, we swear).
3. Skinny-dipped with, among others, Morgan Entrekin and Romulus Linney.
4. Removed a cup of chocolate mousse from Carl Bernstein’s grasp.
5. Pantomimed playing the violin in a music video of a cover of “We Are The World.”
6. TOTALLY LOCKED EYES with Mark Wahlberg, aka Marky-Mark.
7. TOTALLY LOCKED EYES with that guy who played the lawyer Miranda had phone sex with on Sex and the City.
8. Was placed on a crosstown bus by a young and still-blond Cynthia Nixon–who, as you know, played Miranda on Sex and the City.
9. Held the door for a strikingly short and deeply tanned John Irving.
10. Ate 30 slices of bacon in ten minutes.
We’re going to have to rename this “10 Inconsequential/Embarassing/Sad-I-even-remember Run-ins with Authors, Publishing Executives, Minor Celebrities and Bacon I’ve Had That You Probably Haven’t.”

elisheva: it was a cover of “imagine” not “we are the world.” although, hair wise, i was ferociously kicking it diana ross-style, so i can see how you were confused for a second.

IT’S ALL TRUE
We normally resist the siren’s call of these memes, but Lizzie has taken her inimitable shot at Terry’s

Totally leaves everyone else’s in the dust, especially mine. Well, except for shaking hands with a Nazi war criminal, but that was a once-in-a-lifetime thing.

It’s not you—it’s meme
I want to grow up to be Old Hag. She is funny, smart, reads a ton and writes way better headlines than the communicatrix ever did in her previous, high-paying life as an ad whore. She also passes along

I think you may underestimate your loyal readers’ unlimited capacity for bacon – especially hickory-smoked bacon from the Ozarks. Because while the ingestion of 30 slices of bacon in 10 minutes is certainly not anything to be taken lightly, it is the cooking of 30 strips of bacon in 30 minutes that is the real achievement.
