fun fun fun

I'm putting off to the weekend some work I could usefully get partly done tonight. So a bit of recidivism, blogging-wise, is going on. I admit it.

Anyway although it's rather US-centric and, somewhat tellingly, most of the cultural references are recognisable if not intimately familiar, this is a very funny piece from Esquire about trends/fads/things that have died.

I laughed in appreciation at numbers 3 (although it's a bit off), 7 and 8.

Via Bookforum where you will find all manner of things, such as:

We don't need compassion: we need order and stability. It will happen. And elections may or may not be necessary to insure that result. Liberals: please, please. don't buy guns or automatic weapons. Thank you.
