    See, when Hemingway did this, it was with class. He wanted out of his contract with a minor publisher, Horace Liverwright, which required another book. So he wrote a silly send-off of Sherwood Anderson, star author of HL. That's how you do it. And HL duly refused the manuscript and Papa was free to sign with Scribner's for lots more bread. In later years, he acknowledged it was ungentlemanly, but he suffered from mercury poisoning from catching all those marlin.

    Note: My favorite Hemingway novel of all time now is "The Torrents of Spring," the above-cited satire of "Wineburg, Ohio." Go figger.

    Your comments about Piven's condition show a continual lack of knowledge about the presence of mercury in fish. As one who has had very similiar conditions to Jeremy was tested with high amounts of mercury, ignorance is bliss. I quess it just feels better to be crticical and judgemental. What goes around, comes around is my experience. When I was full of vitality, I was contemptuous of weak people, too. Now, I have been forced to be compassionate about conditions I know nothing about. I'd trade compassion for judgementalism anyday but it is a hard way to learn.

    @edwina3: Your comment about Piven's condition shows that you don't know what you are talking about, since Piven was photographed maintaining a nightlife that would give Lindsey Lohan pause while allegedly being too sick to work.

    So you're too hungover to do eight shows a week as well?

    Bloviating in defense of Piven suggests you're on his payroll, which would be sad, or that you are the man himself, which would be sadder.

    I don't care about a skijumping superstar. My worry is what happens when that skeevy Dr. Neel tries to meet my passion with his.


    Seriously fucking gross.

    Since we are no longer allowed to use the term "douchebag" -- which seems so apt in this situation -- I'll revert to my old standby. What a fucking tool.

    On the video, Piven is a man playing out the string. He signs autographs the way an undertaker signs death certificates.
