A bakery, a Jew, and a Muslim African immigrant/refugee all in the same film? How the hell did I miss this movie being released?!?
Latkes, of course! What? Do you think I am some kind of Hamantaschen eating barbarian? Can you put sour cream on a Hamantaschen? None of this is to say that I don’t eat Hamantaschen, it’s just that I am not a barbarian when I do eat them (I eat them with tea or coffee), you know what I mean?
Are you a foodie, by any chance?
By foodie do you mean someone who loves food? If so, then yes I am a foodie, are you? And more importantly where do you stand in the Latke–Hamantash Debate?
Of course that’s what it means to me, right?
Are you going to start throwing things at me if I admit that I have never had either, yet?
A latke’s just a potato cake, isn’t it? So surely the other one, whatever it is?
Is it?
Aren’t I being too lazy to google it right now?
The other one appears to just be a jam tart, so might I need to reconsider?
Don’t jam tarts sound more appealing than potato pancakes, or is that just me?
Don’t I have a sweet tooth?
You have clearly never had piping hot Latkes piled high with warm, homemade, honey infused applesauce. God dammit, don’t you hate it when you make yourself hungry thinking about good food but it’s 11:40 PM?
Didn’t I say that I hadn’t, though?
And yes; having the munchies this late sucks, doesn’t it?
Oh I totally missed that… would you be angry if I started throwing Latkes, sour cream, applesauce, and Hamantaschen at you?
Wouldn’t that make a terrible mess against your screen?
Isn’t Saturday for sleeping in, thus making Friday a Designated Late Night Snack Night?
Can the concept of white flight be applied to culture as well as cities?
Whoa, that was out of left field. Interesting question though. Is there a specific backstory to you asking it? Also, maybe you should start a topic on it, eh?
Haven’t I been thinking about the changes to the recording industry in the 70s, including the rise of metal and punk as cultural phenoemnon? And wasn’t I wondering if the disco backlash, which many consider to have very gendered and racial connotations (even if not always explicitly), could be an example of white flight, but from culture? Don’t I need to read both the Jefferson Cowie’s book, Stayin’ Alive, and that history of disco by Peter Shapiro Turn the Beat Around, and won’t that help me out? But don’t we normally think of white flight as a very specific thing, a process of fleeing from a place? But why can’t we imagine that culture can also be something from which people can flee, especially when the modes of production become more open, which normally starts with people able to afford new technologies and isn’t that often more well-off white men, who historically have more buying power? [Also, aren’t I going to copy all that and put it into a document to think on later?]
Should we start a new thread on it? What does everyone else think of that idea?
Can you give an example?
Are you going to mention the Anthrax album _White Noise _?
