Just Move On Already
Pretty scary that it's a regular enough occurrence for people who do not own cars to receive parking tickets that it gets a spot in the FAQ. Redickle, dackle, juhwackulous, I say!— October 27, 2009 3:53 p.m.
Lacanian TV AD: Petit Hommage to the “Wicked Costly” Installment of NHTBW by FullFlavorPike
If we are to heed Zizek's injunction to always "look awry," then the analyst Daniels has indeed performed her function qua the glancing party, the directer of the gaze. The analyst correctly identifies the original blog as subterfuge, a mere vessel for the chain of signification onto which the true "thread" of the unconscious dialogue is transferred. And what of "threads" as such? We speak in endless threads within this nebulous blog space. As the threads build onto one another they become twisted, in the manner of a mobius strip, and any "original" meaning is lost in the process of returning back onto itself. Indeed, as the analysts writes: "It is therefore doubly displaced, removed, or folded upon itself" What is the function of this doubling and folding within the context of the "thread?" Is the "thread" the chain of signification which leads back to the primal utterance? Towards the privileged moment of speech which must always already have occurred? How could it be, when the mobius curve always returns only upon itself, and never towards some "end?" No, the thread cannot lead back towards the initial trauma, to the first moment of speaking. Its function is more adequately described as orbital, inasmuch as the threads constantly surround the true "meaning" which is inexpressibly signified by the blog. It is therefore the analyst's (Daniels') function to take that sidelong glance at the "threads" as they wend and twist their ways around the invisible/lost substance/material/meaning of the blog. But even the analyst Daniels not immune to the function of "turning away" as a means of concealing the primal trauma: "Fiber One (uno, le un, primo, of potent metaphysical presence and even omniscience) !" We see the analyst confronted with "that thing," that absent aporia around which the "threads" of signification unceasingly turn, passing meaning along the unbroken, mobius chain of signifiers. But, faced with the primacy of The One, is the analysts compelled to identify the point at which the deferment of the "threads" ceases? No, quite the opposite, in fact! Instead, the analyst immediately transfers the signification towards the Big Other (the seller) who is "of superior moral fiber," or the ultimate authority. For, ultimately, the analyst's desire to prolong the endless deferment of the "threads" cannot be ignored.— October 27, 2009 12:23 p.m.

Pooh Perplex is a spoof of Long Winded Academics. It's mostly a jocular take on the voice of lit crit, rather than criticism as such. It's well, well, well worth reading and certainly under your head, AG :)— October 26, 2009 6:17 p.m.

Re #13: Spam Musubi may be the single greatest food every to grace the planet. There is an L&L next to work and I go there alllll the time for some sushi styled Spam. I love Spam! When I was a kid I went to summer camp and there was a rare and elusive midnight Spam kebab frying and moxie drinking circle in which I was sometimes included.— October 26, 2009 6:07 p.m.
