I now belong to the elite few who can actually use deconstruction in a sentence, having been formally introduced to the word, in our Literary Theory class. This is not to say, of course, that I understand it. Therefore, the sentence is going to be something profound and meta-transcendent like "I hate deconstruction." Really, I've not encountered something so silly in a long time now.
Speaking of silly, I'm going to veer away from highfalutin literary terms and post something inane here, emailed to me by a friend who wanted to cheer me up after our fence fell.

I read somewhere that even Derrida refused to define what deconstruction was, so....
Loved the lowbat joke. Heck, I loved all of 'em!
I love what John Searle said:
"Michel Foucault once characterized Derrida's prose style to me as "obscurantisme terroriste." The text is written so obscurely that you can't figure out exactly what the thesis is (hence "obscurantisme") and then when one criticizes it, the author says, "Vous m'avez mal compris; vous êtes idiot" (you have misunderstood me; you are a fool) (hence "terroriste")."
hehehe. obscurantisme terroriste indeed.
hey, there's so much love around it must be... Happy Valentine's Day!
