Thinking of getting a phD: Becan as a post modernist symbol of suburban status.


Forget the ranch house.

Forget the pool.

This is about Becan...  more of it, more often,







And you know it.

Symbolic becan isn't worth consuming no matter how much delusional magic thinking you put into it.

 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

I can see it now.

A crowd (4 or 5 people) descends on the breakfast buffet table at the Sandusky Red Lion hotel.  An authoritative voice from the back of the line calls out, "Stand Back!  Let me through!  I'm a Doctor!"

The horde parts as requested.  Mike McCue, dressed in a lab coat that's a little short, showing bare legs with white socks and black shoes, elbows his way to the table.  He hastily scoops handfuls of becan onto his plate.  One person, Ludmilla Farfeline Jones, age 293 asks, "What kind of doctor are you?"

With bits of becan spraying from his lips, Mike proudly declares, "I, my dear, Am a Doctor of Becan!"  In the ensuing confusion, he grabs the becan platter and runs for the door...

The mere process of cooking becan creates a multi-sensory art installation in ones own kitchen.

I am now available for questions from the review panel.

In 240BC, Eratosthenes of Cyrene calculated the circumference of the earth.
 
As a percentage of the currently accepted value, how accurate was his estimation?
 
And was any becan involved?

Probably within a couple of percent I seem to recall and, no, there wasn't any becan because someone named Beaglopolene of Porcine would always steal it.

Why oh why would you want to display such art you so dearly prefer to just create?


Oh, it's your thesis on BECAN. Does it sizzzle?

Are you really preoccupied with this?

You are focusing on something like the 0.01% of the stuff I have stuffed under the bed that I think might make people smile when they press play.

I don't think so.


But then I don't know what preoccupied means.
