What's New Pussycat?

Thanks Lina for posting up Barry's board. I was rather wondering if anybody else had found themselves intrigued by the mysterious and ever-present axis of evil that stretches, inverted, across our whiteboard? I have feared it to be a classified directive in the misty background of all our teachings; a silent insister bent on our kowtowing to its twisted sensibility. However, having taken this opportunity for a closer inspection of the offending diagram, I am relieved to reveal it as the innocent result of an eighteenth-century talent contest, with persuasive Welsh cruiser Tom Jones trumpeting his way into the top spot, inches ahead of girl-next-door Pamela, and leaving poor old Robinson Crusoe ‘coming up the rear’ as a distant third.

S'alright, Lina. I bring you Potemkin Kitty.

I know the cat thread was a while ago, but couldn't resist...

a publishing deal that will launch you to(wards) immortality

In very, very, small increments.

yes. If anyone wants to post a version of one of their course essays, or perhaps something completely new or random, please contact me. I'm looking for content for an online culture journal that I sometimes work on. It is run by a friend of mine, HaoyanofAmerica, graphic designer to the stars. Anyhow, we are working on a hardcover anthology to be printed in limited edition, so if you have something really special, maybe we can "do lunch" as they say in the industry (not the book publishing industry, actually, the other more lucrative one).
