Maybe I was a little too fast to jump on the "trash the Coop" bandwagon. I, who once so proudly declared my nonmembership in the Coop, now toy with the idea of joining. Mo Shepard over at Book Tech proclaimed that books are "Five percent of total education cost, and 80 percent of total education." How many classes do I take because of the syllabus, in spite of the professor's droning tone.... I believe. Maybe books are expensive, maybe they could shave off a few dollars here and there, but in the face of copyright lawsuits and the Harvard...
Movies, however, are called "Sling Blade" for a reason, and that reason is Doyle (Dwight Yoakam, sans cowboy hat), Linda's construction-worker boyfriend. Doyle, the trashiest of trash, is goading and just generally pissed when sober, but dangerous and violent when drunk--which, sadly for Linda and Frank, is pretty much all the time...

The first day I was not even able to get in the door far enough to hear or see the three professors, and was only able to get a syllabus by fishing it out of the trash can outside the lecture hall after it was thrown away by a disgusted student who left 10 minutes into class.

In this heralded heist film, shot in Arkansas in 1991, Thornton is never scarier than when he smiles--the picture of boll-weevil evil. He's good at that. "Billy can organize all the madmen inside himself," says John Ritter, the Three's Company refugee who gets...
Moreover, the very media in which this horrendous message is being communicated lends an implicit air of classism to the situation. Harvard students and anyone with an e-mail account has access to this trash. Does Leroy? I would venture to guess not. This shows that a class is being established, rallying around Ebonics, in which inside jokes, allusions and references are made. Only the select and privileged have access to this circle and so the class is clearly pulling away from the likes of Leroy. If you inquired after the fictional Leroy, he would never even know that...
