Again, this is a video someone shot at the ofMontreal show I went to at the beginning of this month. I Loved every second of this cover. James Husband: Little Bit (Lykke Li) on Vimeo
This collage supports many theories of mine:
- Juggalettes have identity issues. (Are they steamy sexpots who try to enhance their femininity to entice wicked clowns, or grungy grumblers whose disenchantment with the world order lends itself to rejection of western ideals of feminine beauty, or asexual amorphous beings with more to worry about than finding a mate? Like “holding their hatchets high”.)
- Giving the masses access to means of production (e.g. - “fotoshop”) is not always beneficial to the society as a whole.
- Every possible demographic and classification of people across the universe forever loves Hello Kitty.

gown + tour guide at the T.R.R. Cobb House, where we had our Phi Kappa banquet this year. it was a lovely banquet, those somewhat dampened by the terrible events that occurred at another historic house right down the avenue named for another Phi Kappa alumnus. dr. teague, who had served as a judge at our last two intersociety debates, has lost her husband to a bullet allegedly fired from mr. zinkhan’s gun. he will hopefully soon be apprehended, and hopefully his children will be well taken care of.

This is an old Flagpole feature from last summer, and most of my friends have already read it— I just keep coming back to it because it reminds me of all the awesome English professors I had at UGA.
(I still think Dr. Evans’ spoof is the best, because he goes the extra mile with backstory and “Notes on the text.”)
Stanley Fish gives Philo’s annual oration
To readers of British fiction, Stanley Fish, the new dean of arts and sciences at the University of Illinois in Chicago and the second-most-famous English professor in America—after Harvard’s Henry Louis Gates Jr.—is indistinguishable from Morris Zapp. Everyone knows that the character in David Lodge’s trilogy Changing Places, Small World, and Nice Work, the most popular campus novels since Kingsley Amis’ Lucky Jim, was based on Fish, Lodge’s good friend. Zapp, a jetsetting, starfucking, and intellectually luminous American deconstructionist whose charm lies in his gleeful disregard for scholarly convention, aspires to become the highest-paid English professor in the world. What’s wrong with that? he asks.

He came, he saw, he engaged, he enraged, he flouted, he touted, he elided, he conflated, he expounded, he ate, he drank, he regaled, in short—he gave an AO.
