Nicked THIS from Elizabeth Glover who nicked it from Miss Snark. Go ahead, read it...Done? Okay, so anyone else bothered by the obnoxious tone of intellectual and cultural smugness that pervades this piece?

Oooo, unlike the rest of you unsophisticated boors, I know the correct pronounciation of L'Enfant! I can reference obscure, avant-garde films! I can recite the history of Antonio Stradivari! I can talk in-depth about Bach's "Chaconne!" I can quote W.H Davies and Immanuel Kant. I can use words like "koan" and "cupidity" with absolutely no irony! And just to show you that I'm not a total elitist git, I can listen to a song by a British rock band and pronounce it "terrific, actually!"

Wow, what a man of the people this guy is, huh.? I just hope, since he calls himself a humorist, that the attitude he's copped here is meant as a joke.
