WHAT CORN AND PEANUTS ARE HIDDEN IN THE WARM AND STEAMING PILE?
Vapid cultural commentary, pungent reviews, sundry Korea-related musings, fartological/scatological humor, and nondualistic Zen excretions in prose or poetry form.
Got a beef? Write the Hominid at bighominid [at] gmail [dot] com, and put "HAIRY CHASMS" in the subject line, or your mail will be automatically trashed by Satan, my beautiful but deadly spam filter. Assume your mail will be published (editing at my discretion), unless you specify otherwise. Welcome to my backside.
BLOGROLLING POLICY: I don't do mutual linkage, and have no problem with asymmetrical linkage: I link to bloggers who don't link back, and that's fine by me. Please DO NOT ask to be linked. Please DO NOT expect linkage just because you've linked to me. Also, if I don't link to you, please do not assume I think your blog sucks.
COMMENTS POLICY: Only I am allowed to be rude, though I generally try not to be. My blog is my house; I'm responsible for keeping my dwelling clean. Commenters are guests, and guests of this blog will be civil, succinct, and relevant. All comments are subject to approval; I reserve the right to publish or not publish-- in a pristine or altered form-- all comments (and emails intended as comments) that I receive. Act like an asshole on my turf, and I'll make you look like the asshole you are. Be cool, and we won't have a problem. Simple, yes? And before I forget:
NO ANONYMOUS COMMENTS. Take responsibility for what you say. Screen names are OK, but no sock puppetry. Use the same SN consistently.

Note: If these links are misbehaving, do the following: (1) Click the link you want. (2) Allow the link to "misfire." It'll probably land you somewhere off the mark. (3) WITHOUT hitting the "back" button on your browser, seek out the desired link again from the sidebar and click it. You'll be zapped directly where you want to go. I have no clue why Blogger does this; it's just one of those suck-ass quirks.

Can you (1) provide the correct "answer" to the "riddle" (yes, it has a famous "answer," and that's what I'm looking for), (2) provide the NAME of the person who famously responded, and (3) provide a THOROUGH EXPLANATION of how you arrived at (1) and (2)?
