For the love of St. Louis
So my magazine got it's first irate letter from a reader today. Apparently, two little girls in St. Louis were highly offended by a clue I wrote for a quiz on celebrity hometowns. It was something about being the city where Nelly met the rest of the St. Lunatics. They thought were were calling everyone who lived in St. Louis crazy and proceeded to tell us that Venice Beach is known for creeps, so why didn't we use that as the clue for the Olsen twins. We sent an apologetic letter and an explanation about who the St. Lunatics really are. I didn't say anything about how disappointed their city and its biggest star might be that they didn't know that the name of his famous rap group. I also restrained myself from getting into the fact that I'm such a big fan of St. Louis that I'll be spending the Fourth of July there. So, no hard feeling girls. It's not like you're from Kansas City or Wisconsin or anything.
