Man, we're really picking peaches!
I'm pretty sure this meme is designed to make everyone feel really stupid. I've never seen this posted with a line from The Feynman Lectures on Physics, or The Wealth of Nations.
Th.: Mine is totally better than yours.
Rebecca: Well I didn't feel stupid before, but now that you mention it... In my defense, my book is not only academic but it's cutting edge gay and lesbian studies, gender studies, and even--apparently, as I haven't actually read page 123 yet--a little bit of race theory. I pooh on the Wealth of Nations.
Mmmm. Peaches.
Mine was dumb too.
Nevertheless, the blog gods will bless you for your obedience to their decree.
I am not necessarily one of your favorite people?
I've decided to think you were referencing the others with that line. Clearly, I'm your most favorite person. :)
Right, right, that's exactly what I meant.
