SHAMELESS SELF-DEPRECATORY CHEST-PUFFING

Nicely illustrating the schizophrenia of the internet, the two most popular posts here this morning, with the same number of visitors, are the essay which in a neutral and completely calm manner discusses differences in feminine garb, and a piece explaining a Cantonese term for a pervert.


BIKINI BRIEFS, FRENCH CUT BRIEFS, AND HIGH CUT BRIEFS
Yessir, research! This shows why the internet is a good thing. Solid data, presented matter-of-factly. It keeps your thirteen year old pervy brother safely in the basement, away from normal members of the household.
We'll disregard your aunt over there, drooling by herself.
She's not loudly bothering anybody at the moment.
And no one uses the couch anyway.

A RANCID WET FELLOW
The piece that perfectly describes your neighbor's thirteen year old son, who stays in the basement and obsessively plays youtube videos of anime characters. Usually clips from Girls und Panzer (which shows highschool students with very short pleated skirts and curvy gams driving tanks), with German war tunes. He's far too bright eyed, and not socially polished.
You would not trust him around your grown-up daughter.
He would make an inappropriate remark.
You'd have to smack him.



I would like to think that my readers are all high-minded intellectual types. Some are, of course, but probably not most. Seeing as I really don't write anything high-minded or intellectual.
Can't even claim that I think that way much of the time.

My blog almost perfectly illustrates my mind. Scattershot intensity, a sense of humour between bone-dry and supercilious silliness, and occasional flashes of what might seem like brilliance to some, but on closer examination proves rather unremarkable.


It is mercifully leavened by food. Everybody likes to read about food.
Menus and Yelp reviews are the most popular form of literature.
