just get on stage and ramble for 20 minutes about someone's job as postmodern exploration of postmodernism. be sure to go on and on and on about the dichotomy between environmentalism and urbanization and human detachment from nature. you could talk about war and how horny it makes people, but, that's kinda oldschool.

OH! oh, yeah, one is a 1300 page tome detailing a day in the life of an officeworker and the other is digestible.
eh? EH?

how can you tell if a postmodern novel is a comedy? it'll tell you in the foot notes.
eh? EH?

nah, i'm just fucking around. you deserve the acknowledgement, you're always talking about your hipster things and it's obvious you're really knowledgeable about all that hipster stuff they're teaching in school these days so i'm glad to see that your hard work as a hipster is being recognized. jokes aside, it's seriously a cool thing. grats bud.

In the adult world, people whom work are paid for their labor. Are you not, in fact, an adult? Are you, in actual fact, unwilling to engage with the adult world?
