...makes sense that we, as students, haven't made up our minds yet about what to do with ourselves. And if you think about it, it also makes sense that conferring a diploma on somebody might not necessarily spark an instantaneous decision. But after a while, doesn't the endless moving, the constant future-looking, the neverending eagerness for what to do Next--doesn't it start...
...fact, these bizarre names have provided my social group with an endless source of diversion. For the past few summers now, we have been playing the informal "alternative band name" game whenever we get together. To play is simple. Listen closely to everything you and your friends say.

Rarely has a period film spoken with such energy and immediacy to our impatient modernism...
...this young Sprinfieldianite has staying power: staying in the fourth grade, to the endless vexation of his teacher and his principal; staying glued to the living-room tube to watch his idol, Krusty the Clown; staying for years in the hearts and humors of a fickle, worldwide TV audience. This young scamp--with his paper bag-shaped head, his body's jagged, modernist silhouette, his brat-propelled skateboard--may be "yellow trash" to the town gentry, but to his mother and everyone else, he's our special little...
