McSweeney's Twofer

I was just reminded of the existence of McSweeney's, the hipster/literati blog that I don't read particularly often but usually enjoy when I do. Today, within 5 mins of browsing, I had found two funny posts, one with a variety of Lit 101 books reduced to three lines apiece, and another with made-up jokes about Lacan. Both are funny, see excerpts below.

1984



WINSTON: Don't tell the Party, but sex is way better than totalitarianism.

EVERYONE: Surprise! We're the Party.

WINSTON: Oh, rats.


Q: How is a Lacanian psychoanalytic session like a penis?

A: They are both of variable length.
