Well, remember, he's the guy who hasn't found a comedian funny since Jack Benny, so one can safely assume it's a fucking laugh riot.
that post is enlightening: "The left has captured nearly all of the organizations and phenomena that meant something to me when I was growing up -- the New York Times, CBS News, the NAACP, the ACLU, the professoriate, Hollywood, etc. etc."
Does BigHindWhatever remember a time when the NY Times, NAACP, Hollywood and the ACLU weren't liberal institutions? What is "the professoriate?" I just don't understand. It's as though we inhabit parallel universes.
text -- you're using a sense of "enlightening" that I'm not familiar with. I would have taken that quoted sentence as evidence that the post was mystifying.
it enlightens me as to the immesurable gap between the author of the quote and myself. Or that the author makes fraudulent arguments. Or something.
one could use mystifying.
I wanted to express that there must be something very fundamentally different in the way that person perceives the world and the way I perceive the world. But unlike Brooks, I'm willing to say that the way I preceive the world is the proper way.
Or I could just say it shows that BigHindPerson is full of shit.
It shines a light into the dusty corners of the Powerline psyche. For example, if you had any suspicion that those guys were smart enough to eat with forks without stabbing their foreheads, that suspicion has now been removed.
which is why you can't let Ruprick remove the cork.

So the phenomenon of girls developing breasts never meant anything to the Hindrocket? Or are budding breasts still a right-wing stronghold?
are budding breasts still a right-wing stronghold?
Derbyshire says yes.
It's true, the left has captured my breasts.

Wait, do you have something illicit going on with Norbizness that we have not heard about?

Yes, but yours are the breasts of the professoriate.
#15, how do you know it's inelegant?
#16, yes. Mine are THE breasts of the professoriate. Don't tell profgrrrrl.
Belonging to a mere graduate student, dare my breasts to dream?
Where does the lumpenproletariat come into this?

Ruprecht. Get it right, or I'll be forced to attach the genital cuff.
I saw it was ruprecht when I searched for quotes on imdb. I decided not to allude to any of the quotes, because the only very funny one was the genital cuff quote, and I didn't think anyone would believe that I'd remembered it on my own.
does that track with your experience, Matt F?
actually I should say: well done, Matt F. I'd have used the genital cuff joke if I could have thought of a good hook for it.
I believe this is my first blogospheric reference to the movie, so I haven't run into that problem. IRL, most people are rather shocked when I bring up (or out, for that matter) the genital cuff. Especially if I don't explain the allusion.
IRL how do you keep them from running away? I mean before it's attached.
They may be shocked, but that doesn't mean they're not intrigued. Never underestimate the willingness of people to try anything once.
Belonging to a mere graduate student, dare my breasts to dream?
Depends. Are your budding breasts of the professiorate ready to be captured by the left?
What are the good people at imdb going to think when they notice the spike in searches for "genital cuff"?
Where does the lumpenproletariat come into this?
You don't want to find the lumpenproletariat in your breasts.
Not to mention what the people who write this blog will think. This is like Fantasia only with genital cuffs.
Are your budding breasts of the professiorate ready to be captured by the left?
That depends entirely on whether the given metonymy of The Left is hot.
Isn't JM overage? Lithe, though.
Granted, retracted, and hyperactivately shaking with UTJDS.* All my opinions on this subject are clearly void.

*Unacceptable To John Derbyshire Syndrome, formerly imprecisely known as "aging," now clearly describes the cluster of symptoms that prevent an over twenty-year women from procreating with conservative males. At an outer limit, these symtoms can be held off until the age of approximately twenty-five with a rigorous regimin of push-ups, diet, and more general aerobic exercise; short-cuts and failures are understood as moral and sexual failures, necessitating the purchase of Asian child brides.
It's true, the left has captured my breasts.
Not surprising; due to UTJDS (see 33), the right wouldn't be interested in them.
#16, yes. Mine are THE breasts of the professoriate. Don't tell profgrrrrl.
I had a Soc professor with great breasts, but she left academia, so her breasts aren't in the professoriate anymore.
I must confess that I am interested in that Sam Cooke biography that Assrocket touts.

Send me a picture; I'll let you know.

What I know of Sam Cooke—I assume it's the singer and not another like-named person—suggests that his biography would be pretty interesting.
I have just realized that Derb, rather than being a dirty old man with odd tastes as I originally believed, is just doing his part to fight the soft bigotry of low expectations.
I love what little of Sam Cooke's gospel music I've heard much more than I like his pop music. But he's got an amazing voice.
Also, w-lfs-n is pure concentrated evil.
dare my breasts to dream?
But what would happen to them if, daring, that dream is then deferred? The imagery is disturbing.
Ben w-lfs-n: Ph.D. student in Comparative Titerature
I haven't heard any of his gospel music; I've only got two albums (Night Beat and Live at the Harlem Club 1963, which are very different from each other but both great). Do you have any particular recommendations for someone as evil as myself?
Careful, B-wo might call libel on you.
Ph.D. student in Comparative Titerature
I can't believe I get a stipend for this.
But teaching those entry-level courses is hard.
I'm certainly not the music maven that you are, Wolf-san, but Touch the Hem of His Garment is my favorite. I'm afraid I don't know from which album it comes. (I think this might be it.)
Wolfsen, mon tres cher, a ce point-ci qu'est vraiment question de seduction, malgre l'etat de lolos dont l'on discourt, non?
This Zauberberg stuff only works if both parties know French, and babelfish decidedly doesn't:
Does Wolfsen, my very expensive, have this point which is really question of seduction, malgre the state of milks which one discourses, not?
Alas! It is to be screwed, you know.
Try it with the appropriate accents. (I don't know all of them, but malgre and malgré are treated quite differently.)
Changing the "a" to "ŕ" and the "malgre" to "malgré" renders it a little more sensical, as did this, though "in spite of" doesn't really work here.
It's just as well I can't understand the question, since I'm sure no answer I could come up with could do justice to whatever the question concerns.
I'd like it to be noted that I had come up with the accents without eb having told me. Because I have mad reasoning skills.
My attempt at a loose translation:
w-lfs-n, my dear, at this point it's really a question of seduction, all the talk about breasts notwithstanding, isn't that right?
I think loosely translated it means: You have to do better than that if you want to capture my breasts.

Well, Nietzsche said that truth is a woman, but he didn't specifically say that truth is Jackmormon. I don't think truth turned out to be Lou Salome either. Mad reasoning skillz didn't halp Nietzsche much with the ladies, though I think that that was his very point.

Huh. I translated it as: "My dear, there is no way you are not still a virgin."
Sam Cooke made some dreadful records, mostly under the guidance of Hugo & Luigi. Your best bet is the 4 CD set "The Man Who Invented Soul". This is almost a career-survey, excepting his gospel work from 1951-55 which is on Specialty, and also excepting the last 15 months of his life, for which time he was contracted to Allan Klein. Klein is "sitting on" this stuff, which includes "A Change Is Gonna Come". There's also a Klein-approved DVD "life of" which is OK. I saw him in 1962, in England. Second on the bill to Little Richard. It remains the best concert I've ever attended.
I'm just catching up on this thread.
I have Live at the Harlem Club 1963 but I will have to try to find a copy of Night Beat -- thank you Ben.
I will take this opportunity to again recommend Curtis Live! as one of my favorite soul albums.
