Paper title!

Jun 6, 2006

"Sartre Resorted".  Maybe it needs a subtitle or something like that to convey what it would actually be about, but I don't really know what that might be.  All I know is that if I were the editor of a journal, I would instantly accept a paper so titled, without so much as a first thought, even if it actually consisted of nothing but a long description of an X-ray of Harry Nilsson's liver.

Are you trolling me? "Resorted" as in "sorted again".

And what about Harry Nilsson's liver anyway? Would it hold the key to some sort of understanding? I remember a review, Rolling Stone I think, that meant to praise his vocals by observing that he had "avoided Mathusland."

This all hinges on a really big "if."

Actually, I'd pay for that. Wolfson Quarterly, filled to the brim with cleverly-titled pieces with impeccable diction on completely random and whimsical topics.

Well, it wouldn't have to be an exercise in livery ecphrasis. That was just an example.

Wrong "if." However, AWB is right: you should become the editor of such a journal, immediately.

Yay, the Wolfson Quarterly zine! Make it so, Ben. Order me up a handful.

Wait a second. You embarrassed me by making me admit I hadn't read it, and failed to mention that you hadn't read it either?

I hate you.

I mean, how many people have read it? Not many, I'd imagine. Plus, I lied to you about the century of its publication.

Great. Why don't you just put a big ol' dunce cap on my head, already, and make me sit in the corner.

Not trolling. Punning. Apparently unsuccessfully. Sorry.
