(Trying to) read Derrida always led me to fidget, get a headache,
desperately try to find something else "more important" to do, etc.
Imitations are worse. Thankfully most are very brief.

Aw, Greg, I suspect anything beyond "See Spot Run" would get you all
nervous and twitchy...and FWIW, picking your belly button lint probably
doesn't qualify, at least for most, as "more important"...

studying derrida a couple of semesters ago proved very challenging, and
facing the prospect of writing a paper on his work, as well as foucault's,
scared the ****** out of me. getting an *a* on a paper i thought i couldn't
write ( and i can write some damned good papers) was one of the most
satisfying experiences of my education thus far.

And your point...well, other than you want to look like another of the
ROFFian wannabe-pseudo-intellectuals? And I can hardly wait until
Kenneth, Lord Farthingale joins in this one...

Pomp to right of me,
Pomp to left of me,
Pomp in front of me
Post'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd with blather and smell,
Blindly they wrote and, well,
Into the jaws of ROFF,
Into the mouth of Hell
Typed another "intellectual"...

HTH (how's that for irony...),
