Re: Do you mind (4.00 / 4)
Rushing to Colmans aid I would offer this re-statement:

the meta-construction of societal praxis resultant from continuous negative import of agonomy as a fundamental life and economic mode (sitz-im-leben) intimates cognitive adherence to previous high prestige in-group informal communicatory norms of satorial display, the texte, as an ad-hoc methodological enforcement of a dys-natural albeit conceived as a metalanguage for semi-sacrial patterning.

I trust this clears up the confusion.

Well this is it, isn't it? And there's an awful lot of it going on...

Critical Theory - it's, like, the David Hasselhoff of the academic world, isn't it?

There's a name I never would've associated with academics.

AT - I know your entry to the inner sanctum is under discussion, but I think I can say openly that this brilliant semiotic tour de force will assure you of acceptance. Welome to the Ancient Order of the PN. Virgins on the left.

However the use of such semitoic monstrosities as dys-natural, though common among neophytes, tend to result in negativity among the Elders.

Thank You. Thank You. (4.00 / 2)
I am gratified and humbled.  

Does this mean I get a Magic Decoder Ring?  

And I will take your admonishment to heart.  I have been puzzled why I don't get invited to the best parties and now I know.

Magic Decoder Ring (none / 0)
None of your gay chit-chat will influence the Elders one iota.

But I am happy to inform you, in a self-organizing kind of way, that you have done well. We await the dissolution of your humility that we may proceed with the inititation. There is now a vacancy in our Order.

The vacancy knows who he is. We shall be observing carefully to ensure that the Rites of the Sacred Lemon continue to be upheld.

Let us simply note the following facts:

There was a dancing and shoe episode involving a new female member of the Gnomes.

The vacancy purports to be in France - the centre of the gnomic whirlpool.

Figs are traditional symbols of ambivalence. Allow me to quote from wikipedia:

"Most figs come in two sexes: hermaphrodite (called caprifigs from goats - Caprinae subfamily; as in fit for eating by goats; sometimes called "inedible") and female (the male flower parts fail to develop; produces the "edible" fig). Fig wasps grow in caprifigs but not in the other because the female trees' female flower part is too long for the wasp to successfully lay her eggs in them. None-the-less, the wasp pollinates the flower with pollen from the fig it grew up in, so figs with developed seeds also contain dead fig wasps almost too tiny to see.

Do we need more evidence?
