#1 YJCMTSU. Mr Lileks has got me depressed this morning. There is too much truth here for me to laugh.

#2 The big problem with humor is that to the writer effective humor feels like you're just rolling up your sleeves, making a couple slashes with a sharp razor, and bleeding into the keyboard.

Sometimes it's a hit-or-miss affair and you're just bleeding into the keyboard and it isn't funny.

#3 I dunno, sometimes seeing people bleed is funny, just think Peter Jackson's "Bad taste" or "Dead Alive". Of course, it works best with fiction.

#4 Lileks is categorized as a "humorist," but this isn't a humor piece, kids.
