A classic Onion article that no one but me seems to remember: Man Ashamed of Own Joy Upon Receiving New Mop Head.

While I'm blogging, though, I need help tracking down a couple Zizek references:

Anywhere he quotes Margaret Thatcher's line, "Society doesn't exist."
Anywhere he does his little set piece about how asking someone "How are you?" isn't meant to be taken seriously, and if someone answers honestly, it's experienced as an intrusion. [UPDATE: Mission accomplished on this one.]

Thank you in advance for your careful attention to these matters.
