Forget It Jake, It's Chinatown

Totally unrelated, but Carribbeeanngate has been tickling the Painted Ground lately. And we love Felipe.

You know, no matter what you say, you still can't cover up your hatred of dentists. You anti-dentite, you! For shame!

true story: this guy once came to my school and gave an assembly all about how english needs a neuter pronoun (other than "it"). he proposed it should be "che." with natural permutations such as "chenself." the presentation was complete with a giant pad of paper and stories about how his wife was uncomfortable referring to their fetus as "it." he began by singing "you got the whole world in yr hands" while holding an enormous rubber globe. i think the faculty was universally appalled, but for weeks, we kept using his pronoun as often as possible in classes.
