    Not in the sense of haute culture, the European version of which seems kind of Fascist to me.

    Beef jerky?

    Fascist, how so?

    Yea if it's spicy and there's no BBQ sauce on it.

    Archaic language used in recent literature - yea, nay, or depends?

    It can be done well, but it usually isn't. So depends.

    As far as haute culture European fashion goes, I guess it's the presumption of the superiority of a certain body type in combination with an all encompassing cultural arrogance. I think some of the families in the French make up industries were also pretty deeply implicated in Vichy (and never particularly answered for it). I dunno--Fascist is an over used term to be sure. Scum?

    Dinner theater?

    Yeah I don't know a lot about contemporary French culture but from what I do know or have gathered I get the sense there is a tendency towards (perceived) superiority.

    Hrmm, never experienced dinner theatre. Food is good, but I'm not so big on musicals, so maybe nay.

    This video, yea or nay:

    Aye, although I wish the little pink bear had a bigger role.

    I like the little pink bear too.

    Oh god, K-drama. I've only seen one episode, from Boys over Flowers, which was, uhhhhh, an hour of melodrama of such refinement that my friends and I were speechless... between bouts of hysterical laughter so violent that I, at least, had trouble breathing. Yea for sure, though K-drama is something that really proves there is a difference between watching it ironically and watching it the way the makers intended it to be seen*. Now there's an interesting aesthetic argument to have, methinks.

    Pound's Cantos, aye or nay?

    *marijuana is also helpful.

    Oh, sorry. Yea, though I haven't spent too much time with them. Proust brings them up a lot, they must have been his favorite music, so I'm trying to get to them.

    Not a big Pound fan, but I haven't really read all that much.

    Big aye to high fashion, especially if you don a $10,000 outfit to look like a dirtbag/hobo (I am not kidding, it's cool).

    Never seen it Lykren, but I'm sure I would like it so aye.

    The British royal family?

    Aye to the royal family. They can clean my house anytime.

    And it's so cool that you've got this sartorial side to you, Clopin. I'm telling you, modeling. (Just don't let the weight slip too much).

    The historical (as opposed to the sanctified) Gandhi?

    My weight couldn't humanly slip too much

    Aye I suppose, I tend not to believe anyone is a saint, though sometimes the mythology may be more useful than the reality.

    Oreo cookies?

    Oh yeah, do see it, one of Kubrick's best.

    Re: hobo fashionistas, no entiendo, わかんない, ich verstehe nicht, I don't get it dude.

    British Royal Family, is that a tv show? In all seriousness though, no. They should donate their assets to the poor

    oops, I'll anser Clopin's new one: yay yay yay to Oreos.

    More movies: The Spirit of the Beehive? If you haven't seen it, Bernini?
