lise: First off - thanks, Allen, for scanning this base in for us!

kel: Thanks Allen!

lise: Second - this article was solely so we could get the line "do you like Michael Stipe? I like Michael Stipe." in there.

kel: We came up with the line "do you like Michael Stipe? I like Michael Stipe," on the phone while I was walking downtown to try and see "8 Mile." It's maybe my favorite line we have ever written, ever. It's such a Justin-esque denial/non-denial turn of phrase. It's like, "You wanna know who my girlfriend is? You really wanna know? Her name is 'Justified.'"

lise: And amazingly apropos for "8 Mile."

kel: The header is a quote from Stipe that Lise is particularly fond of. Basically, we wanted to knock out Justin's sexuality, and we did. Next?
