Mark-Elliott Lugo says San Diego Transit worse every year
Hey, why: If you work for the UCSD shuttle, I have a word of appreciation for ya. The career shuttle drivers are few and far between, as the uni likes to hire students, but I'm always glad to see an old hand on board, rather than some gum-chewing chiclet, cutting off drivers and blasting angst-pop :)— October 2, 2009 2:39 a.m.
Everybody always wants to throw glass in stone houses and, sooner or later, someone's going to lose an eye!
Well, the reason I don't think it applies to that situation is that Menard 'translated' the Quixote in literal fashion, 'word for word.'--The narrator says he "rewrote" this masterpiece, to further stir the pot. The reader ends up thinking that Menard just recopied it, but in Borges's usual magic way, there is somehow a different flavor to the text once Menard gets through with it. Mindy had no original to copy or translate; she just wrote about a fictional encounter. Anyway, that particular subject is raw-therrr distasteful to me, so to return to JLB: Obviously he is playing with literal puns again, but there are solid questions about translation and criticism to be explored here. This story should be mandatory introduction to any seminar on translation! Oh, and I think we could argue that some of these issues have some analytical kinship to your parsing out of these craigslist ads :)— October 2, 2009 2:12 a.m.

Only in the name, Pike. I think nan would be your girl for this analogy :) So where DID Pike study literary theory, I wonder...?— October 2, 2009 1 a.m.

Testing testing. Oh: bell hooks is a well-known academic, feminist, and theorist of gender, sex, and race. It is a safe bet that you would not like her work much, PP.— October 2, 2009 12:59 a.m.

Oh lordy, just need to post a couple of times to get these insanely long tags off the homepage!— October 2, 2009 12:58 a.m.

Uh, yeah. Pikey's being perverse. I always assumed bell hooks was black :) http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view?back=h…— October 2, 2009 12:44 a.m.
