Sorry Day in Aggieland
13th September 2008
Apparently Steven Brust doesn’t particularly like Aggies.
Well, I suppose they don’t particularly like him, either….
Don’t know who Steven Brust is? The angels will weep for you. Go to the bookstore and buy a copy of Jhereg. You’ll be glad you did.
Just because Brust’s a communist doesn’t mean he isn’t a great writer, sad to say.

I don’t think this was quite intended as a criticism of aggies, but rather a spoof of the folk song Mighty Day about the Great Storm of Galveston. The local residents, ourselves included, went into a bit of a panic over Ike, which turned out to dodge us entirely other than a bit of rain.

I suppose you’re right. My knowledge of Aggie culture could be written on the head of a pin.
