A Gentleman from Porlock is Here to See You

One of the things I enjoy about my comedy course module is having ideas about the topic as I teach. Unfortunately I rarely write them down.

Yesterday was an exception when I suddenly thought, that's like a definition of the Lacanian Real. And wrote down the word Real.

Only I don't remember what was like the Real. I think it's something to do with achieved desired and that which is outside the situation, but I'm not sure.

Your approach to critical practice is strangely reassuring at times!

Critical ideas are like rats - you are never more than six feet from one.


You need to leave out bait if you want to catch one, there's frequently this scampering you can't pin down, and they can be classed as vermin.
