Grad school Halloween

Except it's not Halloween... it's Samhain (I have friends in the Divinity School).  And I know people who will be dressed up as the Lacanian phallus, the Other, and Sexy Slavoj Zizek.  These kids give Tom and his penumbra from last year a run for their money.  Of course, I also know a guy from Ontario who's going as Canadian bacon.  We like to mix up the level of discourse here at UChicago.  Apparently.  

Also, overheard immediately after my theory course lecture: 

Girl: Hey!  Hey you!  

Dude:  *turns around*  STOP INTERPELLATING ME!  

Similarly

Which reminds me:

[Exiting gym]

"Yo, after this, let's listen to some Jack Johnson and just bro out."

Not made up.

Overheard outside the business school.  

Tool on cellphone: "That is a lie.  I think you are SO much hotter than Sarah Palin."
