You could ask barking lunchbox. He's the only one around here who I could
see being into that social deconstruction crap.

I have one of his books ('cos it's 'bout sex), but I've not read it
('cos it's boring). Roland Barthes is the man.

Absolutely. Foucault and Marshall MacLuhan.

There is a rigorous training course in becoming a subgenius involving
a complete survey and cross-reference of both their bodies of work and
the final phase of training before being awarded the prestigious
subgenius "learner's lacerations" (so-called) is a week-long test on
your knowledge of their work at the Subgenius Acadamy in Colorado.

It's a way of life.

Agreed! An excellent book, couldn't think of the author's name.

"I am going to jump into my grave laughing because the knowledge that I
have the deaths of millions of people on my conscience is a source of
extraordinary satisfaction to me."

I'll second that. That book is great.

"Sister Agatha looked up from flat on her back, on
the mat, to see the five hundred pound, nude female sumo wrestler
descending on her, and she was forced to admit to herself that the
Pope had betrayed her."

I think where we go ape over Foucault is our favorite saying:

Foucault if you can't take a joke!
