UNHAPPY MEAL

Quick! Get to Lileks before his not-to-be-archived piece on tormented hamburger ghouls vanishes. For the love of God, stop making me vomit music!

(By the way, that table is where Lileks and I solved every known human problem during a several-hour UN-like bilateral discussion. So now you know, Smithsonian table-purchasing people.)

The table would have to be donated. Maybe it will be as big a draw as the Hope Diamond!

I may go to "Micky D's" for the first time in decades to get one of these! I have been looking for some porcelain item to dress up the bottom of my toilet bowl....and it sings too!

He's got the quote wrong, though... I hear the little head sing "When we ghosts come out to socialize."

you know, when i saw that pic this morning, i did think "is that the slab of granite where the fabled blair table-dance occured?"

and low and behold...

"When we ghosts come out to socialize." Well, that would almost make sense, unlike Lileks's version.

That middle picture, with a blurry Gnat in the background, looks like a still from a '70s horror movie called, say, Pygmalion's Daughter, about a sweet little girl who has the power to bring statuary to life with her mind. Kinda like Firestarter.

"Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize"
