The worst was this, which I heard in a TV biography of Tanya Tucker:  "Tanya Tucker literally grew up in a fish bowl."

I dunno.  I've always thought of JdJO as literally a bug.

Do you think the literal fly on the wall used fly paper to write those literal 100 pages of notes?

The one thing I took from that heap was that Carlos Lee is an intelligent, passionate, and capable, professional rancher. He is willing to put the effort into overseeing that he is a success in that realm. If those traits carry over to professional baseball player, my irrational paranoid fan fear of him getting fat and lazy now that he's got the big contract, is somewhat assuaged.

The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

This may be the first Kafka reference to appear in OWA.  But it shouldn't be the last.
