What is a "Feuilleton?"

Never trust anyone over 30 or named Ziegenhalss. (Old '60s saying.)

More mental masturbation in the faculty lounge. When it gets tedious, we can always start another revolution.

Maybe a feuilleton is a relative of the kanibbly-bit throw-out bearing?

Everything must have a name. "feuilleton" is as good as any other. It vibes intellectual because it's in a foreign language — not just any foreign language, like Polish or Portuguese — but French. Sacre bleu

Once we have named a thing we can control it much as the early photographers that captured souls in their little black boxes.

It is the latest best thing. Gerard is ahead of the curve on this one. Just think: we can have entire columns filled with wonderful essays on just about anything we could imagine, and a few we haven't thought of yet. Like, the accordion as an instrument for classical music.

The feasibility of yet another National Holiday:
Assholes Get a Punch in the Face Day would certainly get my vote.

I think The Mystic Knights of the Sea use the Feuilleton in part of their ritual.
