Today is the day to wear two pairs of pants at once.

One of the best parts about guest-editing Opium magazine is that I can vouch for all the pieces on the site this month. So, for days like today, when I cannot write my own "I don't know what's," I can guide you to some of the finest recent nuggets on the web, hand-picked like beautiful cherries by yours truly.  Just in case you've missed them...

My pal Leonard Pierce makes me laugh and imitates Hemingway in record time.

Pasha Malla gives you directions to her his house and also to the center of your mind. And he is most definitely a male, from what I hear.

I don't know if it's because I liked "Third Rock from the Sun" or felt bad that "Sweet Smell of Success" on Broadway did so badly, or just because it's weird but "Out on the Town with John Lithgow" by Geoff Wolinetz is just plain funny. And weird.

I'm from Illinois, so I like this piece.  Okay, and I also think that anything Paul Toth does is great.

Enjoy, please, and tell the authors when you like their pieces! They like hearing it.
