I need some help from all of you. Among the many traditions at Reed, most of which are wonderfully silly, there is one that involves placing a "random" word somewhere in one's thesis. Any senior who desires may enter, and the cost of entry is rather simple: suggest a word or phrase that some other poor soul will have to place in their thesis. As the little notice on my desk says, "past examples include such gems as 'hexagonal democracy', 'retrocombobulation', 'electrodentistry', and 'escape to Madagascar'. I am enlisting all of you help me come up with an appropriately silly word or phrase. This could even be a competition of sorts. I promise to take the winner, as judged by me, out for drinks. To be eligible for this prize, there must be a previous acquaintance between us. I reserve the right to decide that I like my own ideas better. Post them as comments, or send me an email.
My ideas so far:
'dialectical swiss cheese'
'lords of materialism'
