Like most people, we enjoy being flattered here at The Largesse. Sure, we get a bit uncomfortable, but most of the praise thrown our way is just a little too close to the truth for our taste. You know how it is — you get told you look good on a day you know isn’t quite your best, and so you can accept and reject the praise in one smooth motion and go on about your day. But when someone speaks the truth in such a situation, the simple compliment can have the ring of real understanding (at the good end of the spectrum) or rank adoration (at the other end). Either way, it can be an uncomfortable experience.
We’re used to it around here, but every once in a while something happens with which we don’t quite know how to deal. Apparently, Deadspin is a big (but silent) fan of ours, and they saw something in Plax’s freakish ability with novelty ice creams. It’s probably the same thing that Thrillist saw, since they made a point of mentioning that very skill when they wrote us up about a month ago as they rolled out the DC edition. Imagine our surprise,then, when we saw this piece on Deadspin a couple of days ago.
It reminded us of many things: that we should have a lawyer, that this internet thing is kind of hard, that Plax is something of a savant, that his piece that ran a month ago on an eerily similar topic was way fucking better. Check it after the break and relive your childhood.
