[quote name="Zseni: Warrior-Poet"][quote name="Casual observer"](no references included)[/quote] I don't know man, you fill your off-brand posts with four-syllable Greco-Roman words, I can only feel so sorry for you. Listen, you live in Colombia, at a college, I'm all out of sympathy. Not only are you all at reference school together, you share a language. Wow that must be great. When I talk to people it's like... "do you read a dictionary all the time?" They say it cutely, like it's funny. Nobody gets my references because even when I was going to American reference-getting school, it was full of Americans going to college, so that was a wash. I had a - I love this story, so you might already have heard it - a 400/500-level political science class, American Political Theory, taught by one of the original Signers the guy was so old, and some guy opens up with a diatribe about "Norman the Conqueror" and then another girl protests that "serfs only existed in Russia." What? "Well Soviet Studies is my major," she explained. Fabulous. The teacher and I spent the whole term talking about Pepys and the porn in Benjamin Franklin's books. But he was OLD! You can't show up at his place at like 4 in the morning with a bunch of Robotech tapes and Korean lager. His nurse will kick you right out! It's awful being really, genuinely well-educated - which you wouldn't know about, Kabuke, because you're pretty much impervious to knowledge. I mean people have their little subjects, their little pet subjects, hobbies and favorite books and stuff, but at this point the only people I can have a real conversation with at this point are jeep and Wikipedia. And jeep's never online.[/quote]
