My favorite part of the Token Skeptic podcast #76’s interview with Sara Mayhew and Jack Scanlan is 28:30-28:42, where Scanlan says “everyone hates pop songs.”  That’s a self-annihilating sentence along the lines of “No one goes there anymore; it’s too crowded."

That reminds me of Saul Gorn’s compendium, “Self-Annihilating Sentences: Saul Gorn’s Compendium of Rarely Used Cliches," which I have in the original hardcopy but is now available online for everyone’s enjoyment.

Jack is too hipster to be hipster. That's how I see it. :p
