Quote of the Week

Okay, in retrospect, I should've just held back my man Jimmy McMillan (a.k.a Prince Jimmy McMillan a.k.a. Papa Smurf) and given him the Quote of the Week, for basically everything he said in last night's New York gubernatorial debate. But how can you choose just one quote from Jimmy's stream-of-consciousness brilliance? It's like trying to choose a favorite son, and I just won't do it, dammit.

So instead, I'm giving the honor to an article in Newark's Star-Ledger, for its amusement value alone. It's not short or pithy like most Quote of the Week honorees, but it's a winner anyway.

This week's QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"[Lady Gaga] fans are scouring Halloween stores for bloody red dresses but the carnivorous look debuted too late for manufacturers to create a costume. Some diehards are planning to wear real meat but New Jersey butchers caution against it."
                                -Lisa Rose; Star-Ledger

Man, do you really need a New Jersey butcher to tell you that wearing a suit of meat for Halloween is a bad idea? Is this how far we've fallen? Celebrity worship never ceases to amaze me, but this is getting ridiculous...
