Wow, all of my favorite things
Elena sent me this snippet from a Sports Guy mailbag column. I loved it so much, I’m copying the whole thing below: Q: Thought of this after Michael Jackson’s death: Which famous singer would have dominated “American Idol” the most had he/she started his/her career as a contestant on the show?

New favorite site?
Don’t Even Reply: Emails from an A**hole. Basically, this guy finds Craigs List ads and replies to them with ridiculous responses and then maintains correspondence for a bit. It’s wonderful. I loved this one. And this one. But you can kill a whole day on the site.
