what’s with you and white people? what about all the non-white people who pay 200 bucks for a pair of sneakers?
lol. good point. but i make fun of those freaks too. but a 200 dollar pair of sneakers is a nice pair of sneakers. a 200 dollar chocolate bar is just lame.
Hello Dad? I need more money next month. Yeah, cookie prices went up to $11.00. No. No. That’s how much they cost in New York City. Yeah. I know you can send me cookies from the Piggly Wiggly that are 2 for three dollars. Dad,you KNOW I’m sociologically and philisophically against those Piggly Wiggly cookies. Just send me the money.
Legion — Yes, i will admit I don’t read anything you post after 11pm. I guess that makes me lazy. Or at least well-rested the next day.
I really do think you throw around a lot of very facile labels, assumptions and connections and draw extremely loaded conclusions from them.
As for your post last night, there is much that the study of various social sciences — poli sci, economics, sociology, anthro, psychology, (I would count history in here, too) etc. — has to offer. The role of various strains of critical studies in each of these areas, as well as in philosophy and literature, is but one aspect of these disciplines. If you were to interview a sufficiently large sample of students over a sufficient time period, you would likely find many majors in those disciplines who are not lefties, lefty students who do not accept many of the insights of various strains critical studies, many who are not lefties who do, and many who integrate those perspectives as part of a well-rounded set of analytical perspectives to bring to bear on any particular situation or area of study. That’s as far as I will go without knowing more about exactly who or what you mean. Part of the problem with arguing about the truth or not of facile and somewhat undefined characterizations is that it’s easy for the proponent to move the target. There’s always an anecdote to support an ever-morphing assertion. Let’s fix a proposition with some precision, nail down its four corners, and then we can debate whether it is true.

Rob, let’s not skirt it. You ASKING for a bakeoff? if you step up, I’ll pay for the ingredients. but I will still bet against you
chile please, i can’t bake myself out of a crack pipe. why are you even suggesting that i attempt to bake cookies? sure, cobble’s are on the dry side but im pretty sure if i made cookies they’d probably taste like rubber tires or outer borough tranny ass.
When I was a kid, I would go with my sister to the butcher store for my mother and the butcher would mix our names up on purpose and we would protest — every blasted time we went he played the same game — which ended with his giving us slices of baloney, ham, whatever.
Yeah prosciutto slices….GOOOOOOOD..
M4L, what am I missing? What is Atlantic Frantic???
Wait, cobble, I don’t want to put you through work you wouldn’t ordinarily do. You sounded like you were taking orders. My apologies.

Cobble, put me down for two. Seriously. One for me, one for my coworkers.
Now I must leave for my writer’s group. I am presenting and presenters are supposed to bring beer.

Rob has clearly never seen a horde of wealthy Venezuelans shop in Soho or Madison Av.
