    If you're so smart, Mark, answer me this: Was Tony the boss or was Angela? See? Not so simple.

    Oh, okay. I'm going to take hip-hop advice from some crazy-ass cracker who dresses like Truman Capote at the White Party and quite possibly has fond memories of Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.

    I was doing fine until I got to the part where the "college kids" started talking and then I vomited. All over my computer. Again. That's the third time I destroy a laptop with vomit after reading something on Gawker. I just don't seem to learn and keep coming back for more. Oh, the humanity! Fuck! Ok, I gotta go clean this shit up. Bye.

    I love the fact that Wolfe says "we've backed away a little bit..." as if he considers himself one of the founding members of the Hip Hop set.

    And I kid you not, he's always referring to that show Pimp My Ride. I guess when you're that fucking white (see above photo) you can't help but have an borderline offensive fascination with anything having to do with black people.

    @southernbitch: You mean as a Southerner you didn't relate to growing up in Sparta? I thought everyone from the South grew up with an outside picnic table as their only place to dine.

    I love Tom Wolfe, but even I have to admit the portions of his Man in Full where he creates rap lyrics - a little awkward.

    @Iceland_Spar: Charlotte Simmons was probably my least favorite of his books. I agree, though, that taking on popular culture and coming away unscathed is nearly impossible. You have to at least applaude his efforts.
