Arch mage144: Women are just full of very strange ideas.
Lithaladhwen: They are. Quite often.
Ganon fro: Strange, and to their minds "logical"
Lithaladhwen: Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
Smartzvn85: ....Such as, Ashley?
Lithaladhwen: Well, this morning I was angry at the English because I had a dream that I was in William Wallace's militia. I thought they were going to sleep with my wife.
Arch mage144: That is impossible in at least three ways.
Smartzvn85: I am sure that the wife thing is one of them.
Arch mage144: William Wallace is dead and has no militia, the English are not at war with the Scottish, and you aren't married.

The Postmodernism Generator: Communications from Elsewhere randomly generates postmodern bullshit for your enjoyment.

How to Speak and Write Postmodern

This is for Brian and Magnus, who took Dr. Ries' class with me. It's also for anyone who resents the efforts of The Establishment to deceive, inveigle, and obfuscate.

Fuck you, Kierkegaard. Fuck you.

"At some point someone may actually ask you what you're talking
about. This risk faces all those who would speak postmodern and
must be carefully avoided. You must always give the questioner the
impression that they have missed the point, and so send another
verbose salvo of postmodernspeak in their direction as a
``simplification'' or ``clarification'' of your original statement."

I had a conversation with a professor at IPFW about postmodern literature. The theory is that postmodernism is a more democratic form of expression since, by being insanely convoluted and unintelligible, it forces the reader into a dialogue with the author. It gives the reader more authority in the reading process, rather than having the author dictate to you in typical capitalist fascist manner what they really mean to say.

Well let me tell you guys right now.

I like my fascist grammar. Because I like telling you what I mean. I like the fact that I'm using clarity to hold you down as you, my dear readers, must helplessly submit to the rationality of my statements. That's right. Bend over and take it. Cower.
