You're completely right. None of us can truly claim to know what B would think, but I'm pretty sure he would detest the idea of a museum in his honor. Then again, he did become slightly more accustomed to dealing with fame in his later life, as long as he didn't have to directly deal with...

Hell yeah, that's the way to do it. I had a subtly nasty prof. for my freshman English course, "Study of poetry." Ick! So haughty and unrelenting. What I should have done was immerse myself in the material beforehand and critique her opinions the whole way through. Usually, the only way to make...

Yeah, check out some of the clips from when Da Ali G show first aired in Britain. Not sure of the best place to find them, though; my friend just happened to have some Borat clips. He makes the Brits looks pretty damn silly, too, although certainly not as stupid as the Americans.

I think we all know which poem I'd read. :D

That's exactly how I discovered B, standing in a cramped corner of a tiny bookstore, the "poetry section," reaching for an unknown name towards the beginning of the alphabet. Out popped "Sifting through the madness...". The rest is mystory.

Hey all, Finally saw Born Into This two nights ago. I happened upon it at Blockbuster when I wasn't even specifically looking for it; such a fortuitous finding, I had to rent it. It did make me shake my head in disgust to notice that there was but one lonely copy, yet the store was...

I thought it was funny. Not hilarious, but not dull either. Some of the jokes/situations had been covered in the TV show. The funniest moments were mostly throw-away comments. I found myself laughing out loud frequently when no one else in the theatre was.

On that note, I'd love to actually read B's essay on President what's-his-name's speech, when B actually wasn't there but bullshitted his way to an A.

Neva Dinova - The Hate Yourself Change.

I'm always contradictory.

You mean Bob Dylan albums? Or is this a joke/reference I don't understand...

the thing is that lighting up makes me want to just relax in my chair, and typing becomes too much of an effort. drinking, though, makes one type excessively. whence the ratio of posts in "last time you were drunk thread" to posts here.

Factotum: p. 140: "I kept telling myself that all the women in the world weren't whores, just mine."

Mine have arrived. They look and feel glorious. Can't wait to take them to the nearest Borders and discretely slip a few into some choice books. Plus the operative's copies make great dorm room wall decorations. I'll check the college library to see if any of the recommended books are there and...

I'll ask the same question. I sent $$ and my address (@Hamilton College).
