Book-nerd meme via [profile] thelastaerie and [personal profile] bedsitter23, and therefore perfect for this blog:

"Page 123 in the Book Closest to You" Meme:

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you.


I was surrounded by books when I filled this out, so I just grabbed one from the top of a random stack.

A water-skier skimming across the Pacific on two pieces of yellow-tail sushi means: “I’m free-trade and anti-tariff.” A golfer hitting a ball out of a steaming pit of polenta or couscous advertises: “I’m open to the blandishments of foreign lobbyists.” A golf bag bristling with Tomahawk missiles signifies a cozy relationship with defense contractors.

– Mark Leyner, Tooth Imprints On A Corn Dog

Result!

CONTEXT: Leyner is discussing tattoos as shortcode statements for politicians. I recommend the whole book. Actually, I recommend anything with his name on it. He writes the way I wish I could.

Tattoo you,
