I like the word moron, when spoken by middle-aged East Coast women to their husbands on snowy Boston streets, when it sounds like "mwwwwooooooooooron" and echoes like a plaintive animal cry of lost love in the chill winter air. I imagine it happens quite often. I only witnessed it once.
And I like Mike Watt, Iggy & The Stooges, my basses, pisswater American lagers, the Chrysler Building, Kurt Vonnegut, the films, my American friends and lots of other things.
