Something I learned this week: Bush the Lesser has a French tailor. Woot!
Hilarity ensues... Tony Bourdain starts the smackdown, with Mario Batali, onstage in NYC. I love Bourdain. Loved Kitchen Confidential and Cook's Tour. Altho his kvelling about 7 hour dinners at Ducasse doesn't match up all that well with his captured-on-TV enthusiasm for the equally marathon French Laundry. Hey... foolish consistency... hobgoblin... etc... (note: having never eaten the food, the mgmt and staff at House of Dioxin cannot endorse Mr. Bourdain's highschool-ish dope slapping of Charlie Trotter but will agree that he has less TV presence than any host this side of Bryce Lane, the entertainingly dorky NCSU prof/host of a local gardening show)
But this is even funnier. Dishoom, baby!
What exactly does "woot" mean? I'm just too square to understand.
i just knew "woot!" as a synonym for "woohoo!" but acto urbandictionary.com, it's got a lineage that runs thru l33t and back to gamer/D&D geeks. apparently, it was originally short for "wow, loot!"
MTYWTK i'm sure
Funny you should mention Bush the Lesser. In a recent column, Thomas Friedman opined that what the world needs now is someone more like Bush the Daddy. And Friedman reckons that Bush the Lesser may indeed be the lesser legacy candidate on the ballot.
