The Great Zucchini

Have you all read this (old-ish) story?

Amazing amazing. Long, but superly worthwhile.

 

Weingarten is without a doubt one of my favorite newspaper writers. Google Weingarten and "Josh Bell" for one of the great features of the past year. He's one of my humor-writing idols.

 

Wow. Awesome.

This needs to be made into a movie.

 

It was one of the first stories a former sports editors at my college paper made me read. It is just incredible.

 

Thanks for sharing. That was unbelievably great.
