This may not be the stupidest thing of the week, but it’s by far the stupidest-looking, or at least silliest looking, thing in a long time. A couple of days ago, my wife was reading the paper when she suddenly exclaimed, “Hey, look, a whole parade of Gilly’s.” At least, that’s what I thought she had said, and I tried to imagine a parade featuring multiple marching characters dressed like Gilly, one of my favorite SNL characters played by Kristen Wiig.
That would have been silly enough, but what mi esposa had actually said — “ghillies” — was even sillier. Ghillie, it turns out, is the name given to Iranian army snipers, as well as the name of the outfits they wear, which make them look like walking bushes, or clumps of vegetation and twigs and, um, some other, spaghetti-looking stuff. Or abominable weed-men, or creatures from a hair-clogged sewer. Anyway, have a look.
