Quote of the Day (Rob LaZebnik, on Why Cellphone Users Are Like Ewoks)

"People talking on cellphones enter a sort of cone of narcissism, unaware of the world around them. They're both incredibly irritating and oddly vulnerable—like Ewoks.” ―Rob LaZebnik, “Moving Targets: A Little Latte, Please, With a Dollop of Quiet,” The Wall Street Journal, June 14-15, 2014

(The photo of Rob LaZebnik—a writer for The Simpsons, incidentally—was taken at  the San Diego Comic-Con International in July 2011, by Gage Skidmore.)
