However, Seduced by words posted on the Internet? Surely no one is that stupid? Do you really think some dope is heading to a lover's tryst high atop the Verazano Bridge? Some gentle, prayerful novice stealing out of the Convent for Encounters of the Wrong Kind? Surely not in today's world with Derrida for Dummies and Lacan for the Lacking! A word of warning, though, don't footnote them for Graduate Journals; confessions of that sort are better left with Friar Tuck. What really worries me is a realworld problem. Baudrilard-Big Dog; Me, little dog. Yap. Yap. Anyone knows that you don't mess with The French Intellectual of Our Times. It just made me mad that ya'll were trashing Matrix. I do not watch TV and I do not go to many movies. Madwoman of Waco. But I like liberation stories, and y'all are just full of it anyway-- Baudrillardasses as we say in Texas. Putting on your Euro intellectual, serious, woe is me, what will become of the world superior suits. We have heard it all before. Anyway, I ain't scared of no simulacra, buster. No one in Waco has ever read Baudrillard, even heard of him, so if he quotes me as an example, no one I know will ever know. As long as I don't irritate any screenwriters, other than Bill P, my name writ in water, uncoffined unknelled, unknown etc. As for what I meant by my posting--don't ask me. I haven't the foggiest. My best guess is that it means two opposite things at the same time. I have caught a virus from my computer. Hard to resist. I know I should look up the history of Lawrence of Arabia before I type quotations in a lofty manner without finishing the book, but I thought I remembered the ending from the movie. Yours truly, Itinerant iteration
