I pitched five innings and gave up one hit and one run wearing light blue ‘Bebe Sport’ hip-hugger sweats with a rhinestone applique. Damn, man, when are these hormones going to kick in?
- L.E. Leone, Cheap Eats
I’ve long been a fan of the Cheap Eats column in the San Francisco Bay Guardian. SF is full of fancy-dancy truffled this, and with a
rosemary-pomegranate reduction’d that (and the obnoxious foodie
journalism to match). Cheap Eats is different, though. It’s allways been all about the quick
and dirty and cheap. And really, who doesn’t like quick and dirty and
cheap? The fancy stuff is great…but sometimes you just gotta get your
eat on.
A few months back, Dan Leone, the author of Cheap Eats started throwing around comments in his column about becoming a woman. I hadn’t been reading regularly, so I just assumed it was part of some ongoing funny-ha-ha thing that I had missed the genesis of. No big deal. Then,
I started to notice that he was talking about tranny stuff more and more. After about three weeks, it hit me.
Damn, the Cheap Eats Guy is going to be the Cheap Eats Chick!
Dan now goes by L.E., and the Cheap Eats Guy is indeed now a chick. A chick who plays baseball in rhinestone Bebe sweats, and still writes about chickens and lunch plates and BBQ.
