Axl Rose. I had an unfortunate crush on him in the summer of, um 88 or 89? I worked a graveyard shift that summer at a bank in their document processing section, which meant that I sent out hundreds of thousands of mailings and got papercuts on my GODDAMN EYES (you have no idea how insidious those little strips of paper on the edges of documents, you know, the ones that feed them onto the machine but have to get cut off by a machine and tamped down into a bin by people who get papercuts in their GODDAMN EYES). In any event, I was up all night and all discombobulated, so I watched a lot of TV in the mornings when I got home. Since "Sweet Child O'Mine" was in heavy rotation, and I saw no other crushable men in my job, my biggest crush was Himself, Axl Rose. I'm not proud of it, but at least it happened before he mutilated his face with bad plastic surgery or had the whole ugly Stephanie Seymour thing. Oh, god. Axl Rose.

My dear, despite my immense admiration for you, Axl Rose, and one of the most important films of my adolescence (”Breaking Away”), I can’t bring myself to fantasize about growing up in Indiana.

Yeah, it ain’t pretty.

Oh, and I forgot my perverse and barely defensible admiration for Bobby Knight.

Please explain. I’m sure this is a doozy.
