I'd like to introduce the high hat

Actually the high hat is what Max drops on Julie Powell when she hangs in a buffalo stance. I am with Mr. Badthings on the shockingly incoherent thing, though I am historically more reluctant to take up the cudgels for Alice. There has got to be middle ground between homeschooled artisanal melons and Key Foods. Our survival depends on it--changing planes in Atlanta will make a believer out of you. Incidentally, hating on the Greenmarket has a long and storied history: archaeologists have uncovered cave paintings in the Palisades denigrating it as inconvenient and expensive, not to mention a Greenmarket-themed entry in the "Admit it, it sucks" columns in the late and grim days of Spy. Kind of nice to think of LaD carrying a torch passed to her by Joe Queenan.

Queenan killed Spy. It started to suck a little, and then it just snowballed, and by the end, he was writing the whole thing.

Not to mention that stupid thing he did before the last superbowl. Teddy Bruschi is coming for you, douchebag.

the cudgel of george s. kaufman is the aspiration.

yes max spy magazine had about 30 good seconds in 1986. didn't it resurrect like a phoenix (or john travolta)?
