The clue to the longest answer in today's NYT crossword. I'll put the answer below the jump in case you care about solving the puzzle and — what's wrong with you?! — haven't solved it yet.

Here's the grid — filled out — at Rex Parker's blog. It's great clue, because it's an interesting quote, and you actually want to know who said that. My first thought was George's mother on "Seinfeld":



"I come home and find my son treating his body like it was an amusement park!"

But the answer is not Estelle Costanza. She's not an "Author/TV personality." Well, I thought, who wrote that episode? What's the episode? It's "The Contest"! It's about masturbation. Would the NYT center its puzzle on masturbation?! The writer of the episode could be considered an "Author/TV personality"... maybe. It's Larry David, but it's a 15-letter answer. Maybe Lawrence David? Lawrence Gene David? No, still not 15 letters.

With a few down answers, it became easy to visualize the full name, though I'd never associated him with the quote. It's Anthony Bourdain. Oh, the amusement isn't masturbating, it's eating? Or is it hanging yourself in a hotel bathroom?

I'm going to recommend visualizing your body as a temple, then. It's not a thrill ride. Treat it with respect, in good times and bad.

The Bourdain line is in "Kitchen Confidential," originally published in 2000. The "Seinfeld" episode "The Contest" first aired in 1992. And Larry David has resisted killing himself.
