The Gobbler

Okay, my friend Natalie posted this in a comment to the post about the Grand Canyon monstrosity. Because I was moving 2500 miles, I neglected to visit it until today. The page Natalie linked to has to do with James Lileks's visit to the Gobbler hotel. James is a columnist for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. His commentary on the Gobbler is funny--very funny, like those Weight Watchers recipe cards. You must visit. Right now.

Go here to view James's story about the Gobbler and how his interest began, and to browse in a comfy way.

Go here to have James guide you through the Gobbler, which is by far the funnier choice.

And if you're curious about the guy, you can take a look here.

And, not that you should squander all this hysterical content in one evening, but you should also check out the Institute of Official Cheer, which includes such bounty as a 1977 Frederick's lingerie catalog.
