On Knowing When to Cut
by Alex
I’m excitedly working on a paper that I’ll be giving at the AAAs that will serve as the hinge between my interests in Melanesia and technology. It’s going very well. Since most people present will be technicists, I feel like I’m a little defensive about invoking concepts such as ‘taboo’ and am trying to write in such a way as to convince people of its relevance. Still, I have to know where to stop. Consider, for instance:
“Taboo, of course, is a subject of constant interest to anthropologists because it is a continual concern to the vast majority of humans on the planet – those of you present who do not consider yourself so concerned can prove me wrong by, for instance, waiting for your mother to menstruate, having sex with her, and then killing and eating her.”
This sentence, for instance, is too outrageously over-the-top to let disappear entirely but too wierdo to include in a formal paper. I guess that’s why god made blogs ;!)
Nothing tastes better than recently sexed menstrating mother.
You could also just invite anyone to yell COCKSUCKER! and then give them a moment in which to do it. This would also indicate how the talk is going.
I think J. has the right idea.
But the fucking, killing and eating of your mom on her period works pretty well, too.
Um…can’t we just have sex with her sister and call it a day?
F@#kface is also a good one to shout. Preferable you to those in the audience who disagree immediately after you read that line in your paper.
“The Classical:” HEY THERE, FUCKFACE (repeat til drained of all meaning, becoming a kind of cheerful mantra). J will know what I’m talking about.
[The above quote being from an album entitled Hex Enduction Hour -- an album not only less than an hour in length but also one in which hexes aren't 'inducted,' but repeatedly "enducted," like Seth said: exposed as the metahex the hexer has constructed around himself by invoking the hex. This is probably in line with what I think Alex is working on in his paper re: the kopyright kult.]
