The Beautiful Kind

I read this brilliant essay by Patton Oswalt in 3-25’s NYTimes magazine. It’s brilliant because I’m the most anti-gun person around, so I avoid things that have to do with guns, including articles about how great they are. But the word “yoga” was also in the title, and I like that, so I took a cautious peek. Check out this excerpt:

Shooting guns and taking yoga on the same day was the biggest “You got chocolate in my peanut butter!” moment I’ve had so far in my life. Guns and yoga are French fries dipped in a milkshake. Scotch and ginger ale. Elvis Costello’s “This Year’s Model” after a bad breakup. Reruns of “Law and Order” and having no life; they’re good together.

Patton thinks someone should open a shooting range/yoga studio combo. This is similar to my idea of a pet sitting/escort service combo. Or converting all churches to libraries. Or having a kid-friendly cocktail bar - who needs a stiff drink more than a parent? The kids can have a play area and have kitty cocktails and nojitos (alcohol-free mojitos) and the parents can schmooze behind sound-proof glass in a swank, toy-free setting.
