SUVs suck, octopuses rule, and Bush likes killing Arabs.

It's nice to know that the world never changes.

(Hat tips: rackletang for the octopuses, uberbitsch for the Camus.)

Godot + Camus + the Cure = h0tt. Maybe teh purzident heard Killing an Arab on the Clear Channel last month liked it, and found out through the intarwebz that it's based on a Camus novel, and decided to read it.


Worry not: in AP English, we had to do book reports and 2 of my classmates chose l'étranger, precisely for the same reason that mr.purzident read it: it's a quick read (less than 100 pages, if I remember correctly).

It didn't make any fucking sense to them, they admitted, but they can tell the basic storyline: Man isn't sad when his mum died, man has sex with a girl named Marie, man kills arab, man waits in prison, man gets acquitted and walks out a free man. Except that man didn't walk out a free man.

Best. Summary. Ever.

I swear, both of those guys who (supposedly) read the book independently of one another (they had separate reports, but I think they split the book in half) were trying to convince us that Meursault walked out a free man.

*I* thought Meursault dies in the end. He wasn't going to offer any "reasonable" defense of himself. That makes him h0tt, in theory. Hell, I was even going to christen my bike 'Meursault' once I get 'er painted black and put the luggage rack on.
