Canterbridgian pugnaciousness
I spotted a Brit on my hallway wearing a Bush/Cheney ‘04 sweatshirt. When I observed that I didn’t often see that sort of thing around here, he explained that it was purely ironic – he was 23 years old, and had never been in a fight. This, he suspected, would be a good way to provoke one. I suggested a Yankees shirt. He explained that he’d been trying to get one, but before he could, they lost the playoffs.
