What do you do with a BA in English?

Translation: what the hell are you talking about, Not Bob?
I was pretentiously noting by allusion that I read the Classics Comics version of Proust's Remembrence of Things Past, in which the scent of a madeline brings back all sorts of childhood memories.
In other words, like Not Nick, you told me what was going on. (And also just like those explanations, I didn't really get it, but that's because I am grammar-impaired, as we all know.) Unlike Not Nick, however, your explanation didn't include calling me any names while doing so. Had you called me something with some combination of "retarded" "doofus" or "dorkwad," I would be swiming in the misty, water-colored memories of a 9 year old Not Bobby, drinking Tang, playing with GI Joe (the one with the kung-fu grip, of course), and watching my uncles laugh at each other. |
