Reubens is said to have a house in the Hollywood Hills that makes the cartoony Gary Panter set from Pee-wee's Playhouse look like Martha Stewart's place. It's supposed to be jammed with toys and kitschy knickknacks and surrounded by a cactus garden he planted himself. "It's sad-scary. Even telling you this, you're thinking, 'Funny and colorful.'

Before I stormed Westport, though, I armed myself with a little research. The Q in the brand name doesn't stand, as I had imagined, for "Quick, get me an ENT guy," but rather for the suspicious-sounding quality. I also found out that Q-Tips were originally called Baby Gays. This doesn't help make my case, but it did make me really happy...
