Hey, Fo' Mo'! New Lileks!

Celery Fo-Mo.”

My favorite bit of 1911 Household Advice: “Chloroform will take grease or dirt from the finest fabrics. Rub it on; place cloth over and press.”

Isn’t the word “face” missing between “over” and “and?”

What? A mention of celery on the Lileks site, without the mention of the problem of ladies undergarments slipping to their ankles?

But it works against “Brain Fatigue”! And who of us isn’t visited by * that * vile scourge?

Heh. T’other week, Gingy was standing in the kitchen holding a stalk of celery and wearing a loose summery dress. I snuck up behind her and pulled her panties down around her ankles, stepped back and said “There, that looks right”.

Mmmm! Tasty! And healthful too!

Add a little beef broth, and it sounds like it would be Vitameatavegamin.

And she didn’t beat you mercilessly with that celery after that? I’m disappointed. :stuck_out_tongue:

I wonder if my mother was the muse for Art Frahm? She told me that when she was living in Miami during WWII (she was in her early 20s and quite a hottie), she was walking down the street when she had a Wardrobe Malfunction and her panties dropped off. I must ask her if she was carrying a shopping bag with celery sticking out the top . . .
