On the off chance that you're unfamiliar with the origin of the phrase "I happen to have Marshall McLuhan right here," you should watch this brief clip from Annie Hall (which inexplicably opens with Diane Keaton shouting "MY sexual problem, okay, MY sexual problem!" and thus may not be wholly worksafe for the first ten seconds unless one has earphones).
You should then read this comment and the two that follow it. Also, you could do worse than scan the remainder of the rather lengthy thread for other comments by kid bitzer. (Bérubé at #56 is also quite good.)
