I am sad that this show was not mentioned much in the "Best TV shows of the '00s" thread.

i'm sure that you're making a ref to the deleted ask chaki thread but just in case you aren't it was an A+ thread

every time she posts something like that, others should chime in with their own tales of time spent with the c-list celebrity in question.

"oh no kidding? one time we went to a show together, he seemed standoffish."

"oh yeah? that's pretty funny, i went to a party at his apartment in 1997 and we shared a slice of warm pie and he gave me a drawing on a paper napkin. he seemed a bit fake, though. xpost to suzy."

i think this is called a "77 assignment"

we could also post this http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x18/gr8080/Flip_Off.gif

I'll be rifling the index to see what he says about Sussex. Although I never met him there, he was legendarily funny as an undergrad, according to three friends of mine on his course: my ex who lived with a certain music writer and was in a game of RUN AWAY from one J D0llim0re, one gorgeous Italian-Swiss burlesque performer and one flapper-esque riot grrrl writer.

not even britishers even know who tf she is talking about here.

a guy i never knew who was friends with my friend who once played a game with "one" "j dollimore"

She is talking about a widely respected British academic who is the author of "Radical Tragedy" and "Sexual Dissidence", two classics in the fields of cultural materialist literary criticism and queer theory respectively.

i suppose it depends upon your definition of the word "widely", really.

Results 1 - 7 of 7 for "cultural materialist literary criticism"

how many classics can exist in a field w/ 7 google results

Results 1 - 10 of about 9,300 for "cultural materialism" "literary criticism". (0.34 seconds)

u must hone your google zingblade

Results 1 - 10 of about 31,200 for "cultural" "materialism" "literary" "criticism". (0.29 seconds)

your google is faster and moar awesome than mine ;_;

how many classics can exist in a field w/ 7 9300 google results

haha now it just looks like a european 7 :(

He happens to be a visiting fellow in my department next semester, actually, and he's going to teach a grad seminar. We're lucky to have him.

And yeah, "widely" in academia means an entirely different order of scale and magnitude than popular culture or web-saturation. Figure that there's X number of research universities, each has English depts, philosophy depts, various language depts, history depts. each with 10-40 profs per department, so "widely" known in a given field means a few thousand people with tenure know your name if they see it listed on a flyer for a conference or in a publisher's announcement etc.

Whatever, make fun of me if you wish. But ask a grad student in an English department who studies Renaissance lit if they have read "Radical Tragedy" or at least know of it and chances are they'll say yes.

sure, niche celebrities exist everywhere. - it's just that treating dudes like that as anything but a niche academic celebrity = downward spiral into suzy-tude

see, thats not even the make-fun-ofable thing about suzy, though. its just that she namedrops. she namedrops very famous people, too.

roxy otm

yeah but namedropping non-famous ppl is a tad funnier cause the desperation behind the act is so clear when someone's scrounging for namedropping scraps

Oh man Adrian Chiles told me this awesome joke about namedropping last night.

namedropping non-famous ppl is a tad funnier

The Shah of Iran once told me that it's funnier to namedrop famous people.

dont rock the boat, iatee

i was on a boat once with this up-and-coming communications installation assistant supervisor

<3 suzy basic

lol

Celebrity Name Dropping

was this the first instance?

"such people"

it's the constant reference to semi-famous people's fathers or "daddies" that always gets me tbh

lol 10-40 "professors" in an department = u must be an american.

And yeah, "widely" in academia means an entirely different order of scale and magnitude than popular culture or web-saturation.

yeah, you didn't specify "widely" in academia. there are academics who are known outside academia. this guy isn't one of them.

so "widely" known in a given field means a few thousand people with tenure know your name if they see it listed on a flyer for a conference or in a publisher's announcement etc.

a few thousand, huh? this just isn't "widely known" by any meaningful standard, unless you think academics (particularly tenured ones) are somehow more important than other people, conferring greater renown by their status. but anyway, as a humanities grad student myself and a qualified fan of raymond williams (though not always of what's claimed as "cultural materialism", which is often just vulgar-marxism), i'm afraid that J D0llim0re isn't on my radar.

... but this is entirely beside the point, which is to lol at a name-droppy post about 1) suzy's best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw a rubbish comedian pass out in 31 flavours last night 2) "a certain music writer" (omg! who? who?! intrigue!!!) and 3) this "one J D0llim0re" guy, like he's "one J D3pp" or some shit.

suzy knows J0hnny D3pp?

i would like a board solely devoted to old answers/revives

history mayne seems like nrq but with his four humours out of whack.

lol every time banriquit changes his user name we have a long running "who is?" conversation taking place over several boards. he's mostly very much in character and easy to spot imo.

this is truth, altho he's been if anything even more caustic of late...maybe i shd buy him a drink

y'all just butthurt because he hated inglourious basterds
