Title: Smugopedia
Post by: zarn02 on November 08, 2011, 04:09:45 PM
Want to let the world know you're a douche, but you're not sure how? Pick from gems like these:

"It's only worth bothering with sushi if you're going to go to the Tokyo Fish Market. Nothing else is really fresh enough to capture the perfect simplicity of toro or uni."

"Although most people associate a "fox" with the animal, the media empire, or Isaiah Berlin's Hedgehog and the Fox parable, I always think of Machiavelli's constant comparison of the ideal Prince to a fox."

A classic example of degenerative cultural diffusion can be seen in the pillar capitals employed by the ancient Greeks

Doric and Ionic order ultimately gave way to the gauche overstated embellishment found in the Italianate Corinthian order

In other words... I'm an Art History major and I can't find a job... so now I am Occupying Wall Street at a city near you.

well I just submitted it....let's see if it sticks

maybe I will do a critical observation of Wilhelm Reich's "Listen Little Man" as little more than an embittered indictment of plebeian thought in the early 20th Century

Is it wrong if I send links to The Oatmeal to various co-workers who consistently butcher proper word usage and spelling in every e-mail?

Its only wrong when they form a mob and come after you with improvised weapons built from the office supply closet.

At that point you should run  [thumbsup]

How is this for smug?
