Great Moments in Journalism: Thousand Island Bukkake
Great Moments in Journalism are submitted by readers, and can be sent to this address. Your Moment today comes from Carolyn See, and contains one of the most unlikely transitions we've seen so far. You'll think you know where it's going, but you'll be wrong:
Some years ago, in a very fancy Los Angeles seaside restaurant, I ordered the signature lobster and avocado salad. About halfway through lunch, an enormous fly struggled out from the damp jungle of arugula and frisee. I let out an unladylike "Eeek," and a waiter came over. "He just flew in, right?" "No," I answered hotly. "Look where he's been!" It was true, the fly was drenched, half-drowned in Thousand Island. Only later did I think of it from the fly's point of view, lost in gooey crags of avocado, gluey from unidentified pink stuff. Think of me now as that fly, staggering out from one of the ickiest film biographies I've ever read.
