That comment had nothing to do with the relative obscurity of the authors in question. Russian lit in general is played, but if one is attempting to "craft" a humorous dramatic and sarcastic response Gogol seems like the more appropriate reference to make--thats all.

Wait? How can literature be played? This makes no sense. Yes, certain literary circles don't necessarily follow it, and its not the choice du jour in literature right now (not that I follow what's "poppin" in literature these days), but how can you completely discount the entirety of all Russian literature? I see no logic in this statement/argument.

I get the whole shoe thing, but discounting an entire literary movement is kinda stupid (?)

:confused:

Your quite right, many statements in language resemble each other. You see, thats how grammar works! Though my comment might share a topographical similarity with the one you compared it to, I think it is a big more insightful and less rash. Its obvious that you have a chip on your shoulder which is not at all justified.

And my decision to use the word "Plebes" was a homage to your homeboy Clopek.

Yeah, its a pretty basic concept: Avoid tacky labels just as you would consciously not order crap beer at a nice restaurant. I never claimed it to be anything more grandiose. Now if you're destitute then I'm not gonna hate (this is my inner pragmatist speaking) but i think its safe to assume that all participants on this board have some excess scratch to invest in some decent sneakers. And if they don't they shouldn't be trying to play this game anyway--It will break them financially and cause them suffer the same pain and embarrassment you do.

And next time you choose to make russian literary references please don't do Dostoevsky--he's as played as shitty vans eras. Instead try working some Gogol into your would-be intellectual comedy routine. Now he's actually funny!

Should've went with your first instinct to cower. And theories ideally don't tolerate exceptions, be it sneakers or otherwise. You can either accept the validity of exception and toss the theory ALTOGETHER (thus my point about your desire for "artisan pantalons" not making sense) or be a weak ass pussy and make ad hoc excuses for why its okay to like vans eras.

It may be a matter of perspective, but that doesn't mean that both points of view are equally valid. One is clearly more mature and developed (mine), and the other is simply naive and immature. Your consumer behavior is not much better than a confused kid in a candy shop. Enjoy your bubble gum and try not to get it in your hair this time!

You are incredibly annoying
