I emailed _why once, asking him how I should cite his name in a highschool project I was working on. Here is his response:
You can use my name (why the lucky stiff) and the date of
publication (feb 16, 2004 - present) as frequently in your
studies as you wish, so long as you keep your grade point
average up and you diversify your elective credits with a
broad portfolio of subjects. I am specifically hoping you
will bask in the study of 1930s Russian absurdist
literature. Oberiu is the name of the movement.
I will never forget you.
Everything made sense after that, and the absurdist part of my world lit class that year.
- igravious 13y agoThat is wonderful Sir. How may I cite this HN post of yours? And what subject do you want me to take (remembering that I don't speak a word of Russian).
- lbolognini 13y agoAll the time I was reading this I was thinking of Daniil Kharms. The Desert of Forbidden Art also comes to mind... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1536458/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1536458/ I don't know why but I feel some kind of kinship to _why. And would it be just "us hackers" as a group that have any hope of "getting it"? Are we all alike in this sense? Wouldn't we all find ourselves at home reading Knut Hamsun or Jaroslav Hasek? Aren't we all freaks when we follow ourselves down the rabbit hole? I find comfort in knowing that I'm not alone and that other people are, still, similarly lost.
