Ha! Writers are such dickheads. This article proves it. As far as dickheaded professions go it goes like this:
1. Small forwards
2. Bouncers
3. Writers
4. Cops
5. Vice Principals
Pretty cool look behind the scenes of how a magazine article gets put together here.

"Just Kids" by Evan Hughes - Nymag.com
An article in NYMag about how all these hot shot writers were friends when they were young and poor in Brooklyn in the 90s. Like a Brat Pack for hipsters I guess? I don't know it sounds like they were all just dominated by David Foster Wallace the way Calvin Johnson is dominating every d-back in the NFL right now. Just nothing you can do. One guy is 6'5", runs a 4.3 forty and has a 45" vertical, the other guy was a visionary philosopher who knew more about grammar than Jesus. Nothing mere mortals can do but eat it.
