Lileks, Buzz, and Doritos
James Lileks is now in charge of this place, which is therefore, without further knowledge or careful reading, bookmarked. Doesn't really matter to me if it's any good yet. With Lileks in creative control it surely will be.
I should note that all of those (myself included) who thought the Strib was absolutely crazy for canning his tiny column, "The Quirk," ought to consider writing a thank you or something to the folks in charge over there. This seems a vastly superior use of his many talents.
On the other hand one of the talents James does not seem to
possess is the ability to identify Dorito flavors. In today's Bleat he comments on the mysterious flavor of Doritos X-13D:
No indeed. The wife nailed the flavor within five seconds (she's pretty good at this kind of thing). It tastes exactly like a Burger King Whopper. No foolin'. I'm pretty sure they can't name it that though, due to copyrights and stuff. Thus the naming contest. But that's the flavor to a tee.
