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

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

dude is actually and i do not lie a good guy IRL and an enthusiastic chatterer to boot, although yammering on about 30's literature is pretty much a surefire way to elicit such vim, as i once discovered

the real question is who is enrique

i am enrique

but then, like, dom passantino is good company, as is pretty much every ilxor i've met (including a load of people who completely hate(d) DP's guts)...(almost) universal rule of the internet i guess

we are all enrique

I served with enrique, I knew enrique, enrique was a friend of mine...

hes the best mayne he did it

Mr. enri Que

res ipsa loquitur

everything is equal to everything, i think

we need a thread to compile every morbs cheap shot/pissy aside about dems/obama/ilxor sheeple that he makes on completely unrelated non-politix threads

it's been done, something about 'rolling us politics' or something
