I have a friend who keeps informing me about minute details from blockbuster movies — and I guess perhaps I also sometimes note some noteworthy piece of history in music. We are always attempting to trump each other’s facts about which morsel of information is more essential towards a well-balanced liberal arts education.
Which brings me to another fine piece of ASS [1] crap:

I may be entertained, but I don’t find it particularly amusing.
Today, ASS is little more than a tell-tale sign of laziness, lack of thought, dearth of reflection, decimation of intellect and all-around dullness.
Introducing ASS into intellectual conversation is nothing less than simply an insult.
