    WK:

    I was going to say something really smug and witty about Wayne Knight, a Bret Easton Ellis Novel, and “Up in Smoke”, but then I realized something unsettling and downright frightening: I look quite a bit like Matthew Johnston circa 1997.

    If his tubby trajectory portends my own future, then I’m in deep trouble.

    “Little did Rahim Jaffar know his career was symbolized by the cigar he smoked that day. It would simultaneously go up in smoke and down in flames–and leave a funny stench on everything around him.”

    That’s the best I can do. I tried to add a part where Ezra looked like a dweeb but I figured that John Gormley might get mad at me for kicking a guy who’s permanently down.
