"... not only because it links to a tempting NYT article on kindergarten classroom decor... but because the article — nay, the very circumstances themselves! — allude, perhaps unconsciously, to the title — and by no means not the substance! — of a pardonably obscure, and deliberately hilarious, Edgar Allan Poe satire on permissiveness."
... writes my ex-husband RLC, linking to "Rethinking the Colorful Kindergarten Classroom" and to Edgar Allan Poe's "The System of Dr. Tarr and Prof. Fether."

With you doing the testy = testicles thing?
Oh man, you two must've been a riot,...
Hi, Ann!
Totally agree with you about men's fashions and the men -> boys devolution, by the way.
Yes, in fact, we were a riot.
I'm trying to get people to read the Poe and figure out this mystery, but....
"I offer you this missive..."

Did he talk like this, too? I couldn't have put up with it, either.
It's a clue to the connection to the Poe. It's parody. But you've got to do the reading to get it.
Ok professor. I've been reading and rereading Edgar Allan Poe since I was very young. I've read Tarr and Fether, I've read it repeatedly, & I read it now for you again in case I had forgotten anything.
I even condescended to read your New York Times link, and you know I never like to read your links. I believe I understood every word.
So, long story short, what the fuck is your point? Really, what the fuck is your fucking point? Huh huh, there was a similarly named person? Thanks, Beavis! But other than that, and the fact that hemlines go up hemlines go down, walls get decorated walls get bare, I mean WTF are you driving at?
