Honest, Mister: I Was Looking For Literutcher...! Well, I was searching for
S.J.Perelman, my favourite humorist, when I came across
Foundations of Fashionable Thought, a web site devoted to
girdles: girdles in the
movies, girdles in
1950 and girdles in every conceivable epoch and sense. It so happens I
am partial to girdles, though I'd never dream of searching for them. At least not
until now. And the question, I guess, is: has anyone else ever made a
serendipitous find on the Internet, almost entirely unrelated to what they they were looking for? [
Though, ahem, there are some great Perelman quotes on the main link, not to mention William Carlos Williams, J.D.Salinger, Anne Sexton, Ogden Nash, Mary McCarthy and other great excuses]
