Everyone at grad school takes the wrong shit waaay too seriously. Like today these two mutants nearly came to blows over whether <<Il n'y a pas de hors texte>> translates as "There's nothing outside the text," or "There isn't outside the text." I'm serious. I wanted to be like, "Hey, you two, let's take a look into the crystal ball for a sec. It's 15 years down the road: you're still a woman who looks like a man, and you're dead!"No one chooses to be ugly, but why would you want to be ugly and unnecessary?

I can't think of anything clever or funny to say, but yes. You're complete right and it needed to be said. Adults need to act like adults and not like little asshole children.
Hmm, that's interesting. My interpretation of "Il n'y a pas de hors texte" has always been, "You're all going to be as beaten and useless as a 1970s textbook."
Yeah, lit departments are in a kind of time warp that makes them about 30 years behind everyone else, not to mention utterly irrelevant at any time.
And fugly too. Holy fuck.
Has anyone seen MacTavish lately?
Is that a trick question?
I'm off to Mississippi, where the only internet is at the McDonald's. Have a great weekend, and to all a good night!
I have 9 books to read in 9 days, and so far all I've done today is watch some lame porn and mess around on facebook for 3 hours. When I get back from the gym, I'm going to close my laptop and duct-tape some oven mitts onto my hands.
Well I have a paper to write this weekend so R3 is going to be a real snooze-fest.
McTavish?
"Internet John!"
I was wrong about you, McTavish. You're actually a classy guy.
It’s difficult to not admire the lady in that video. She has mastered the art of the fart. How many women can claim that distinction? Few will even admit that they emit gas. If you want more on this subject (and, John, you know that you do), spend some time here. It’s where intellectuals go for answers to such thought-provoking questions as: Why do farts come out of your butt? Do men fart more than women? Is it harmful to hold in farts? Is it possible for a talented person to earn a living through flatulence?...you get the idea.
That McTavish is really starting to grow on me. But I don't fart at all, for the record.
McTavish, are you from Amherst?
Adults need to act like adults and not like little asshole children.
Wait, you mean a 29 year old father of three and his friend's shouldn't track down and call a complete stranger in another state to try and make a fool of them?
You could have fooled me.
Although, to be honest, I'm pretty sure you were just trying your hand at viral marketing so I would come and read your blog.
BURN
Nice to hear from you, BNL. We kind of thought you'd turn up sooner. I suppose you're right--it was a childish of us to call you at home like that, but we really meant no harm. We'd all had a few drinks, and were feeling very silly.
Try to appreciate the ridiculousness of the situation--we're a tiny, obscure review blog, and the only person who ever reviewed us (i.e. you) gave us 0%. How could we not adopt you as a kind of ritual scapegoat cum cartoon nemesis? It's simple sociology.
So I think I can speak for everyone when I say I'm sorry to have been a nuisance. If it's any consolation, no one got laid at our party, and I threw up like 5 times the next day. Also, Viking Andrew dislocated his shoulder and cried like a baby, and someone keyed our friend's car.
Will you accept R3's official and sincere apology?
BTW, I didn't even know they fucking made wrist phones.
I just wanted to talk to BNL. I was bummed when he hung up on me/us.
I wasn't trying to make a fool of you, Brent. I just thought you'd be up for chatting with a couple of girls who had had a few. I thought for SURE if we just started talking about blogging or the internet you'd think we were lame.
I guess I'm the fool.
No hard feelings, I hope, Brent.
In the end, I was wrong about you Brent, and I'll admit that. So if I ever come to Colorado let's grab some lunch at Denny's. It's on me.
Maybe after that we can throw some empty kegs around.
I am not convinced that is the real Brent Newland.
Me too.
Because, why wait a week, and is BNL really going to do research? I don't have much faith in whatever public education system he sprang from.
Well I'm glad someone is behind me on this.
Just curious, what is the research that BNL did?
Found out that John had three kids and was 29? That's not too much research.
Anyway, I still think BNL is a nice guy from what I understand, and his post was civil and a pretty good burn.
In conclusion I hope he becomes a regular reader.
Hey remember when Glenn put on his bad boy pants at day two of the R3 party and started being a jerk to everyone? That was awesome.
Glenn being a jerk? No way!
You're making that up.
BNL was a good sport, but the "viral marketing" punchline was weak.
Weak.
In fact, I don't think it made any sense. Given that, there's something about BNL that's 16 and real. I do like that guy.
To be honest, I think that we basically on some level were just trying to get BNL to come read our blog, so he was still pretty accurate.
BNL - 1
R3 - 0
whose alt is brent? (my guess is i. jon)
ps i see you heinie
it s bright and shiny
you better hide it
b4 i bite it
btw i reall respect brents use of italics and bold it show hes not just eff*ng around and also who the heck is lesi-con
Glenn put on bad boy pants? He must have been waiting for us to leave. Probably didn't want me to dislocate his shoulder.
By the way, that was my mom in the fart video. I couldn’t be prouder.
Although our house is very clean, it does smell a bit.
@ McTavish
I thought that ass looked familiar, although it was hard to tell with, you know, the pants and everything.
