2. It's brilliant. It just generates totally meaningless crap.

Profound crap, mind.

3. Fucking brilliant.

The scariest thing is that it could be real, if you didn't know it wasn't real. LMFAO. Thank you!

4. It's totally convincing.

I had to do this shit at Uni, and it's dead-on.

9. I did one class of literary analysis at Uni

It was taught originally in English and then morphed into a 1/2 English, 1/2 German class... I was the only non-native German speaker. Man, did a lot of that go over my head. Nasty stuff for an electrical engineering major to jump into, anyway. Teacher was really cool and quite patient, though, which was nice. Only bad thing was that I was the 'expert' on the English language, so I got asked a lot of questions I couldn't necessarily answer. Lots of BS. Like, does "A Map for Rereading" mean 'a method to be applied to rereading' or 'a map to be reread'? Oh, the fun :)

5. What's so funny?

"The characteristic theme of the works of Burroughs is a capitalist reality. Sartre suggests the use of the neoconstructivist paradigm of expression to challenge hierarchy. Therefore, the main theme of Long's model of pretextual capitalist theory is the role of the poet as observer."

Makes perfect sense to me...
