You Know You've Been Waiting For This
Lileks goes to the Magic Kingdom. (Not so) shockingly, he writes about the experience:
The breakfast? The best hotel breakfast ever. They don’t take your order. There’s no point in taking your order, because they know what you want so they might as well bring it. You get a big plate of eggs, bacon, potatoes and sausages, plus tiny Belgian waffles shaped like you-know-who. This is what it means to be an American: pouring syrup on Mickey’s head and eating him. It’s secular communion. And it’s delicious! Various characters come by to say hello, and as usual, you speculate whether they’re having any fun at all. Because Disney employees seem to come in two flavors: there are those are working. And they’re working for Disney. Whatever. Then there are those who are WORKING for DISNEY! And they just beam because they are having the best day at the best job in the best place ever. There might be some people like that at Microsoft, and grew up with a Bill Gates doll they took everywhere, but they’re few.

Is Lileks retarded?

It wouldn't seem so.
Perhaps it's you. That seems much more likely.

Wow, I almost forgot they're having the Special Olympics of blog commenting today.

That's every day here, Jonathan, with some of my commenters.
