What the Thinking Man Is Thinking

The Buzzcocks were the thinking man's Clash. The Clash were the thinking man's Sex Pistols, and the Pistols were the thinking man's New York Dolls. The Dolls were the thinking man's Gary Glitter, and Gary Glitter was the thinking man's brother-in-law -- a fact that he's still trying to live down.

Audi is the thinking man's Volvo; however, unexpectedly, Volvo is also the thinking man's Audi. The Committee is working on that one. Airstream is the thinking man's Winnebago, when he can afford the gas. The alto saxophone is the thinking man's Stratocaster, but only when wielded by Ornette Coleman; in the hands of Charlie Parker, it becomes the thinking man's Les Paul.

Ontogeny recapitulates the thinking man's phylogeny, existence precedes the thinking man's essence, the personal is the thinking man's political, the Medium is the thinking man's Message, and a mighty fortress is the thinking man's Lord.

Women are the thinking man's chicks. The delectable skin of the throat is the thinking man's bodacious ta-ta, the graceful thigh the thinking man's Brazilian wax, the demure cleavage the thinking man's low-rider love-handles. Asses are the thinking man's tits.

The Epson Stylus CX5800F Inkjet Printer, Copier, Scanner, and Fax: Inkjet Printer (20 ppm Black, 19 ppm Color, 5760 x 1440 optimized dpi, 4" x 6" Photo in 48 seconds) -- $119.99 -- is the thinking man's Epson Stylus CX4200 Inkjet Printer, Copier, and Scanner: Inkjet Printer (20 ppm Black, 19 ppm Color, 4" x 6" Photo in 48 seconds, 5760 x 1440 optimized dpi) -- $125.99 with rebate.

George Clooney is the thinking man's puking little bitch.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste, so use it sparingly.

The/Crimson/Letter is The Crimson Letter's syllabification.
TheCrimsonLetter is The Crimson Letter's concatenation.
'TCL' is the The Crimson Letter's abbreviation.

Thinking is TCL's doing.
The work is TCL's reward.
The trees are TCL's forest.
The means are TCL's ends.
The journey is TCL's destination.

Being occupied is TCL's occupation.

I'd have reversed the order, but either way it's pretty fuckin' funny.

And what -- no props at all for "Asses are the thinking man's tits"??? I'm still laughing!

Okay. Kudos on that one. Yes, sir, and Amy Sidaris is the thinking man's Michelle Pfeiffer.

But I'm thinking your thinking on Clooney is stinking. What's up with that?
