Various bits of randomness
May. 10th, 2004 09:30 pmSkimming over a fairly dated analysis of Beowulf written by a crusty male professor in the 1960s, I came across this phrase:
“Professor Tolkien is immensely attractive”
I said to myself, “I knew it!” before I stopped and realized that the previous line of text ended “This theory of”.
Elsewhere on the same page, the same critic talks about “Tolkien’s sensitive theory.”
Your theory... so sensitive.
Leave me alone. I need something to amuse me while I'm buried in the bowels of the library with sixteen books, five articles and a laptop, don’t I?
***
Meanwhile, I favor education as much as or significantly more than the next person. When I saw signs posted around my campus reading “Fast 4 Education,” therefore, I decided that the people who posted the signs needed to be educated on the difference between “For” and “4”. Apparently, the same group recently held a “March 4 Education,” and no one has corrected them yet. I shall have to find the address of the education activists and write them a letter. Proper communication is so important, don’t you think?
