Sen-Sen explains it all for you,
By Gooch McCracken (c/o your haunted slab of Velveeta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The real thing: A guide to separating the genuine from the ersatz, the man from the boys, and the wheat from the chaff (Hardcover)
Sen-Sen on affectations: "The phrase 'have no' used instead of 'don't speak'--as in 'I have no Celtic' is pretentious, but less horrifying than actually speaking Celtic."
Sen-Sen on boring countries: "The craw-sticker is that Belgium actually considers itself one of us, a highly civilized country ... Their pathetic excuse for a social problem is the bad blood between the Flemings and the Walloons. And that's as good a measure as any: a place where the grievance of something called a 'Walloon' is taken seriously is a place that deserves a yawn as its national anthem, a swatch of off-white chintz as its flag." The craw-sticker about Sen-Sen is that he's constantly lapsing into cutesy-poo whimsy. Like all that boring crap about limericks & Neptunians & haikus & Elwood Ullman. But what's even more infuriating about Sen-Sen is his refusal to question the necessity of that goddam hyphen in the word "Chee-tos". Sen-Sen on industrial foods: "Chee-tos are the real thing ... Unlike most inconvenient foods, Chee-tos aren't chewed. Disintegration may be the closest word in any Indo-European language to describe what happens to Chee-tos in the mouth. And don't expect a burst of hearty cheddar flavor, for again, what you experience is an artful representation of cheese's taste. What's wrong with that? The ability to use symbols is what distinguishes man from the lower species. You don't see dolphins snacking on Jeno's Pizza Rolls, do you?"
